Driving Near the A40 Westway:
Navigating 2026 Roadworks
If you drive in Notting Hill or Shepherd's Bush, you have seen the cones. The A40 Westway is closed for big repairs. This changes how we do our driving lessons.
Current Status of Westway Closures in West London
The Westway is shut between the roundabout and Marylebone Flyover until late April 2026. After that, it will close on weekends until July. This makes local roads very busy.
Impact on Local Roads in W10 and W11
Harrow Road and Ladbroke Grove have more cars and buses than ever. This is a tough time for learners, but it is a good way to learn real skills.

We try to avoid the worst traffic to give you more time behind the wheel. We use the back roads to teach you how to steer and brake safely.
New Hazards for Learner Drivers
More people are using bikes and scooters to avoid the car jams. You must check your mirrors twice before you turn. We show you how to spot these hazards early.
How TM Drive School Adjusts Your Lesson Routes
We use the traffic as a classroom. In our Mercedes A-Class, we show you how to keep the car steady in slow queues. We also teach you how to stay calm when the roads are loud and busy.
