Behind-the-Wheel Training in London
The current Ohio DPS information used for the county page identifies two London resources:
Buckeye Community School - London
238 Lafayette Street
and
Schwartz Driving School - London
167 W. High Street
Both are listed for behind-the-wheel training, although students should verify current eligibility and scheduling directly.
Learning to Drive in London: U.S. 42, SR 38 and Downtown Streets
U.S. Route 42
U.S. 42 is one of London's most important regional roads and connects the city toward I-70 and northern Madison County.
For a beginning driver, U.S. 42 provides a transition between:
London city traffic
Commercial entrances
Rural roads
I-70 access
Higher-speed regional travel
The county transportation program also includes major U.S. 42 reconstruction near the I-70 truck-stop area, making current traffic-control awareness particularly important.
State Route 38
SR 38 runs through London and continues south toward Midway and north toward Marysville. It also serves the Molly Caren Agricultural Center area.
This makes SR 38 useful practice for moving between city streets and agricultural roads.
Main Street and High Street
London's downtown street grid centers around Main and High streets near the Madison County Courthouse.
For a learner, downtown London requires attention to:
Signalized intersections
Pedestrians
On-street parking
Turning traffic
Local businesses
Vehicles entering from side streets
This is fundamentally different from rural SR 38 or U.S. 42 driving.
London High School on Elm Street
London High School
336 Elm Street
London, OH 43140
The current district site confirms this address.
Elm Street therefore has clear teen-driver relevance during arrival, dismissal, athletics and student activities.
Madison-Plains High School
Madison-Plains High School is also located in the London mailing area:
800 Linson Road SW
London, OH 43140.
This gives the broader London area two different school-driving environments: London City's urban school network and Madison-Plains' more rural campus.
Farm Science Review Traffic
The Molly Caren Agricultural Center near London creates one of the most unusual local traffic situations in Madison County.

U.S. 40
U.S. 42
SR 38
During Farm Science Review, students should expect temporary traffic control, large pickups, trailers, buses and agricultural vehicles.
