GR8Drive Instructors will familiarise you with roads and the local areas such as Pinner High Street, Bridge Street, Pinner Hill, Cuckoo Hill, Pinner Green, Elm Park, Pinner Village, Paines Lane, West End Lane, Pinner View, George V Avenue, Pinner Town Centre, Northwood, Northwood Hills, Hatch End and other areas that you may travel on for your driving test in Pinner.
Pinner Driving Test Centre is situated around the outskirts of London. The type of driving test roads will be varied and may include rural country driving, dual carriageways and high speed A roads. Busy town roads are to include various roundabouts, crossroads, junctions and possibly one-way-systems. Residential roads often form part of the driving test and are an ideal location to demonstrate 1 of the possible 6 manoeuvre that the testing examiner will require. These residential roads can be hazardous due to narrow lanes and meeting oncoming vehicles in Pinner.
We believe that our extremely high first time pass rates can be attributed to our high quality training and supportive nature we provide to our Pupils.
Having extensive knowledge of test areas used by Watford examiners on driving tests really does help in settling a pupil into a driving test and gives them an increased chance of passing first time. At GR8Drive we sit in on all driving tests with our Pupil's to make them feel more relaxed and supported whilst taking their test. This also has the added bonus of your instructor being able to give you tips on any errors occured on test.

Northolt
The settlement of Northolt is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being held by Geoffrey de Mandeville, and archaeological evidence suggests that there was a Saxon village at the location from the 8th century onwards.
St Mary's Church, built in the 15th century, and located in the villageThe medieval village had its origins in the Saxon period and is recorded in the Domesday Book. The area remained rural, producing arable crops, until suburban development began in the 1920s. Two important transport links, the Grand Union Canal and the modern A40 road, run through Northolt. Local landmarks include St Mary the Virgin's church and a clock tower erected to commemorate the coronation of King George VI.
Northala Fields country park has artificial mounds built of rubble from the first Wembley Stadium. The Polish War Memorial, nearby, lists the names of Polish airmen who were based at nearby RAF Northolt, an RAF airbase in neighbouring South Ruislip which was named after Northolt Junction railway station which served it at the time. There was a pony racing track before World War II, now used for housing.
Kensington Road, near Smith's FarmFrom medieval times through to late Victorian times, the area was rural with predominantly arable crops being grown. In the early part of the 18th century farmland was enclosed in order to provide hay for the City of London, alongside more traditional crops such as peas and beans. A barn constructed in the area in 1595 can now be seen in the Chiltern Open Air Museum. A 14th century moated manor existed behind the present Court Farm Road and was excavated from 1950 onwards.
PopulationNortholt remained a rural, agricultural area throughout the 19th century. Its population growth remained slow:
The rapid growth of the population of the area during the mid part of the 20th century can be attributed to Northolt's growth as a dormitory town for nearby Ealing and the construction of the A40 road through the area in 1935. Modern family homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s, although by the 1950s and 1960s the housing being constructed was predominantly local authority rented housing. 3,423 council houses had been built in Northolt by 1963. Northolt tube station was opened in 1948 to serve the growing population of the area. Northolt is diverse in the fact that it has fairly wealthy areas such as Northolt Village, the Racecourse Estates and Wood End including areas up to Sudbury Hill, Grange Court (towards Ruislip) and South Harrow and poorer areas.
A40 Western Avenue, taken from near Islip Manor[edit] Other infoMost of the housing north of the Western Avenue was built in the 1920s-1930s and is in the private housing sector, while most of the housing built to the south of the Western Avenue was built in the 1960s-1970s and is in the public/social housing sectors, particularly along the Kensington and Ruislip Roads. In the 21st century, a new large private housing development was built on the former site of the Taylor Woodrow company, adjacent to the Grand Union Canal. This development is known as "Grand Union Village" and incorporates a new canal boat marina.
The former old village centre still survives and on viewing St Mary's church from the village green, one could believe that one was still in a rural village. Northolt Village and the area near the tube station is recognised centre and there is a village community centre building in Ealing Road opposite St Mary's church, which incorporates an open air miniature railway.
The population consists of a mix of young and older people. The area has mostly White people. Areas to the north of the Western Avenue which incorporate many bungalows tend to have an older population.
St Mary the Virgin's church (14th century), which stands on the hill overlooking the old village. The Welsh poet Goronwy Owen was briefly a curate here. Bishop Samuel Lisle is buried here.
Willow Cottages, on the village green. Willow Cottages are said to have been built from bricks from the old manor house, which once stood behind the parish church.
The two towers of the disused RAF radio station north of the town. The two towers are situated in the Wood End wireless station recreation ground which is bordered on all sides by housing (Bayshill Rise, Lancaster Road, Blenheim road). The location is now home to a National Air Traffic Control base.
In the centre of the village is a freestanding clock tower erected to commemorate the coronation of George VI in 1937.
A large area alongside the A40 road has been redeveloped as an extension to the Northolt and Greenford Country Park, by the name of Northala Fields. The development consists of four large manmade conical hills, which act as a sound barrier to block traffic noise from the Western Avenue, and is a popular tourist attraction. Behind the mounds are new ponds and a visitor centre. Two car parks, for Northala fields, are available, one off Kensington Road the other off the southern slip road between the A40 and The Target roundabout. There is no direct access (eastbound or westbound) from the A40. Access from the A40 is eastbound from The Target Roundabout and immediately take the slip road down towards Kensington Road.
The White Hart public house, and the nearby White Hart Roundabout. The pub is on the site of a very old coaching inn, and the roundabout immediately south of it is on the junction of the A312 (Church Road and Hayes Bypass) with the A4180 (Ruislip Road and West End Road). The Yeading Lane also joins the roundabout.
The Larkspur Rovers F.C. clubhouse in Rowdell Road, Northolt, is a strikingly noticeable building to passers-by.
A leisure centre, incorporating a pool, a fitness centre, a community hall and a library was built on the site of the former Swimarama swimming pool at the junction of Mandeville Road and Eastcote Lane North, and opened in 2010.
Northolt was famous for the pony racing which took place in Northolt Park. A one and a half mile (2.4 km) racecourse was constructed by Sir William Bass and Viscount Lascelles, and opened in 1929 by the Earl of Harewood and his wife the Princess Royal. During World War II the land was taken over and used as an army depot and prisoner of war camp. Despite numerous attempts to revive pony racing after the war [1], the land was given over to housing construction. The Racecourse Estate was constructed between 1951 and 1955 in order to solve a severe housing shortage within the Borough. The gates of the original racecourse still remain in Petts Hill, and a section of the track can be observed as a long, flat stretch of land alongside Mandeville Road.
The Royal Air Force has a station near Northolt. Sometimes called as Northolt Aerodrome, it is situated in the neighbouring town of South Ruislip in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Most early RAF airfields were named after the nearest railway station, in this case Northolt Junction (now South Ruislip).
Northolt Park railway station is a Network Rail station in Northolt, Greater London. It is in Cadogan Close and spans the boundary between the London Borough of Harrow and the London Borough of Ealing, with a footbridge connecting the north side (leading to Roxeth and South Harrow) to the south side (leading to Northolt and Greenford).
The service to the station has much improved (until the late 1990s only peak hour trains stopped there). There are improvements in the access to the station as part of the Petts Hill road improvement scheme.

The population mainly consists of young people and growing families. The younger people are racially diverse. Areas to the north of the Western Avenue which incorporate many bungalows tend to have an older population.
Northolt does not have a recognised centre, and is made up of mainly residential areas with very few facilities and as a consequence there is very little community cohesiveness. There is a village community centre building in Ealing Road opposite St Mary's church, which incorporates an open air miniature railway.
London Borough Of Ealing
The London Borough of Ealing borders the London Borough of Hillingdon to the west, the London Borough of Harrow and the London Borough of Brent to the north, the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to the east and the London Borough of Hounslow to the south.
The London borough was formed in 1965 by the merging the area of the Municipal Borough of Ealing, the Municipal Borough of Southall and the Municipal Borough of Acton from Middlesex
Along with Brentford, the London Borough of Ealing is the setting for much of the action in Robert Rankin's series of comedic novels, The Brentford Trilogy, which currently consists of six volumes. Ealing is also the primary setting for The Sarah Jane Adventures, being the location of Sarah Jane Smith's home.
Within the borough are two garden suburbs, Brentham Garden Suburb and Bedford Park.
330 hectares within the borough are designated as part of the Metropolitan Green Belt.
Although Northolt Village does not have its own DSA test centre there are test centres located nearby in Greenford, Pinner and Hayes. Pupils can take their early lessons in and around the Northolt area covering all the basic driving disciplines. At this stage of their driving, and with the help and guidance of their driving instructor, they will choose their preferred test centre, and will be introduced to a test centre test routes to provide local knowledge of any unusual or difficult road layouts. This enables them to familiarise themselves with the local roads and to build that vital driving confidence prior to their test.
Nearest test centres are in Pinner, Greenford, Hayes
GR8Drive Featured On LBC Radio
Gaz Reynolds (owner of GR8Drive) was asked to appear on the Nick Ferrari Show on LBC Radio on 21.06.13 to conduct a driving experiment with an experienced driver of 27 years from the Harrow area who urgently wanted to refresh his driving skills.
Nick Ferrari set a challenge with caller Alan (from Kenton in Harrow) to take a mock driving test on air with a well established driving school in Harrow-GR8Drive and Gaz Reynolds.
Whilst on the show Gaz emphasised road safety and how our Pupils are taught safe driving skills for life in and around Harrow.
Gaz Reynolds said at the end of the interview to reporter Tom Swarbrick of LBC Radio; "I had so much fun doing the show and it gave me an opportunity to emphasise how we all have a responsibility as drivers to ensure that we keep our roads safe!"
Gaz went on to say; "The show was recorded in Harrow in busy peak hour traffic so it was a real challenge for Alan who took part in the show and took on the challenge of taking a mock driving test 27 years after he passed his original test.
