Ardwick Local Area Guide
Lessons around Ardwick use real local roads including Plymouth Grove, Higher Ardwick and Hyde Road (A57), so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. Ardwick Green began life as a private park for the houses around it before the city acquired it in 1867 and opened it up to everyone, complete with an ornamental pond and bandstand.
We also plan around school-run traffic near Plymouth Grove Primary School and St Luke's Primary School, using quieter spots like The Manchester Apollo theatre for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of Plymouth Grove.
Test centre: most M12 learners test at West Didsbury Driving Test Centre; mock tests are planned around the routes examiners actually use from there.
