1. About Hither Green (London) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Based at Ennersdale Road, SE13 6JD, the centre has a small bay‑lined yard; when it’s full, starts are kerbside opposite the railway depot—watch buses squeezing through. Local ADIs suggest a warm‑up lap of Manor House Gardens to relax before the test.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay or parallel parking first. Independent driving commonly follows the South Circular (A205) to Catford gyratory then back via Lee High Road—expect 30‑to‑20 speed cushions and bus‑lane time plates. The emergency stop is often set on Springbank Road’s clear stretch.
