What to Expect at Erith (London)

  • With 11.1 roundabouts per route on average, Erith (London) is more roundabout-intensive than most UK centres. Route 1 has the highest concentration with 13, including Anderson Way.
  • The 49% pass rate at Erith (London) is broadly in line with the national average of 47.9% — this is a fair, well-rounded test where solid all-round preparation is rewarded.
  • Familiarise yourself with Anderson Way, Crabtree Manorway North and Lower Road before your test — they come up repeatedly across the routes and knowing their junctions and speed limits will save you on the day.
  • With only 11 turns per route on average, the Erith (London) test has an open, flowing character — speed management and road positioning are tested as much as junction handling.
  • Routes here range from 23 to 33 steps — each has a distinct character, so practising the full set is worth the time.

Tricky Spots on the Erith (London) Test

Junctions and road sections that appear frequently and catch learners out.

1
Anderson Way / Crabtree Manorway North roundabout loop
Every test starts and ends with the roundabouts at Crabtree Manorway North and Anderson Way. On the way back in, you'll need to take the correct exit into the DTC car park — usually the left turn off Anderson Way. Correct signalling and positioning at both roundabouts will be assessed at the most pressured moment of your test.
2
Eastern Way / Harrow Manorway dual carriageway roundabouts
On routes 3 and 6 you'll travel along Eastern Way and Harrow Manorway, negotiating multiple roundabouts at dual carriageway speed. You need to be in the correct lane well before each roundabout — the approach speed leaves less time to react than on residential roads.
3
Knee Hill / Brampton Road junction
The Knee Hill roundabout and the Brampton Road approach come up on multiple routes. This residential area has narrow roads and parked cars, and the roundabout sits at the foot of a hill — make sure you're at a controlled speed before you arrive, not still braking as you enter.
4
Bedonwell Road / King Harolds Way roundabout sequence
Bedonwell Road and King Harolds Way are used on six routes. The roundabout at King Harolds Way is often approached after a long straight where your speed may have crept up — check your mirrors and be ready to adjust before you get there.
5
Lower Road / Picardy Manorway industrial roundabouts
The Lower Road and Picardy Manorway roundabouts take you through the industrial zone south of the centre. There's a mix of HGVs and regular traffic here — keep your lane discipline tight and give yourself extra time to spot the correct exits among the industrial signage.
