Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about practising this route.
Are these the real driving test routes?
Croydon Route 1 covers the roads, junctions and manoeuvres around Croydon that learners commonly meet on test day. Examiners choose the exact route on the day, so there's no single official list — but practising the local roads you're most likely to be sent down is one of the best ways to prepare and to settle test-day nerves.
How difficult is Croydon Route 1, and is it good for beginners?
Croydon Route 1 is rated moderate (3/5). It's a balanced route — comfortable once you've got the basics, with enough variety to keep you on your toes.
How long does Croydon Route 1 take to drive?
It's about 13.6 km and takes roughly 42 min at a steady test pace. Leave a little extra for traffic and lights, and plan to drive it more than once — most learners find the route clicks into place by the second or third run.
Where does Croydon Route 1 start?
Croydon Route 1 is based around Croydon — the same neighbourhood your test sets off from. Starting from there lets you practise the first few turns exactly as you'll meet them on the day.
How do I practise Croydon Route 1?
Open Croydon Route 1 in the Driving Routes app for hands-free, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation with CarPlay and Android Auto, so a learner driver can keep their eyes on the road while an instructor or supervising driver focuses on coaching.
