Tricky Spots on the Hendon (London) Test

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

1
Aviation Drive / Aerodrome Road DTC roundabout
Every test navigates the Aviation Drive and Aerodrome Road roundabouts at the start and end. The return always involves "roundabout ahead" on Aviation Drive — make sure you know which exit returns you to the DTC car park before your test day.
2
Grahame Park Way / Lanacre Avenue mini roundabout chain
Grahame Park Way appears on 16 routes and the Lanacre Avenue mini roundabout chain comes up on six. Route instructions describe "3rd mini roundabout left/right" — you need to count each compact junction carefully as they follow in quick succession along this estate road.
3
Hale Lane / Selvage Lane / Bunns Lane mini roundabout sequence
The Hale Lane, Selvage Lane and Bunns Lane mini roundabouts are used together on several routes. These three compact junctions come one after another — give way correctly at each without stopping unnecessarily, and keep your approach speed low enough that you can stop if required.
4
A41 Watford Way / Great North Way corridor
The A41 Watford Way and the Great North Way A1 appear on multiple routes as a high-speed urban arterial. The traffic lights and the left turn into Westside are assessed on several routes — get into the correct lane early and don't let the volume of traffic push you into a rushed decision.
5
Page Street / Selvage Lane / A41 roundabout area (Edgware)
Routes 12, 17 and 18 navigate the Page Street mini roundabout chain near Edgware. The instructions describe "mini roundabout left, mini roundabout ahead, T/L (A41 South)" in sequence — three junctions in a row requiring different decisions. Know this sequence before test day.
