Levenshulme & Burnage Local Area Guide
Lessons around Levenshulme and Burnage use real local roads including Kingsway, the A6 Stockport Road and Crossley Road, so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. Levenshulme grew up around an old coaching inn called The Packhorse on the A6 — a reminder of just how long this road has carried traffic in and out of Manchester.
We also plan around school-run traffic near Burnage Academy for Boys and Alma Park Primary, using quieter spots like Greenbank Park for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Kingsway.
