Naz is such a motivating and great instructor, I passed today with just 1 minor and 6 hours with him. He’s the best! Thank you Naz.

I took refresher lessons with Ahmad after not having driven in a while, with little to no confidence in my driving skills and utterly nervous to go back behind the wheel. Ahmad’s support, guidance and patience helped me become a better driver and restored my full confidence when driving a car. I cannot thank and recommend him enough, both to new drivers as well as to those who haven’t driven in a while and would like to refresh their knowledge in a safe, supportive environment.

I had a great time learning to drive with Hassan and I am so happy to have passed as it has allowed me to be all sorted before my exams start! Thanks for everything Hassan.

Ahmad is a very talented and sensitive teacher. I was terrified of driving after having made many mistakes over 20 years ago. Ahmad slowly built my confidence methodically and thoughtfully and with great results. Thanks Ahmad. A true pedagogue :)

very good instructor every lesson i improve even more and really focuses on your weaknesses to make sure you improve and learn from your mistakes. I have only done 3 lessons and i have already covered so much by applying theory based knowledge through safe driving on the road

Very good instructor. Look no further - Abdul is your man!

The best driving instructor I’ve ever had. Very polite and friendly. Gave me a lot of confidence to pass my test

I can’t believed I passed today. After failing the test 4 times with 4 different instructors I come to see Abdul and I passed first time. Amazing instructor.

I can't thank Abdul enough for his exceptional instruction. He was patient, understanding, and always maintained a positive attitude. Learning to drive with him was a wonderful experience.

Abdul is a highly professional and dedicated driving instructor. He provided me with the necessary skills and confidence to become a safe and competent driver. I'm grateful for his guidance throughout my lessons.

I am so happy to have passed my test today and thanks to Hassan I can now go on roadtrips and see what other parts of the country are like.

Abdul is an outstanding driving instructor in London. He was reliable, flexible with scheduling, and had a wealth of knowledge about the driving test requirements. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons.

Spent a lot of hours with Ahmad, and definitely because I wasn't confident in my driving. However, Ahmad was always present to correct my errors and point out where I could improve, even if the lessons were long and I kept repeating the mistakes over and over. I'm glad to say that I passed and I'm grateful that I had an instructor like Ahmad that enabled me to be confident not just in the test, but also in becoming a better driver.

Abdul really knows his stuff and made sure I was completely ready and confident for my test. Thanks Abdul for helping me get the 1st time pass I wanted :)

Loved learning to drive with this company. Got me passed first time, looking forward to the pass plus now to enhance my driving skills further.

He is nice and caring and really good with autism

If I could rate Abdul 100 stars it still wouldn't be enough. No more buses or begging for lifts, thank you, thank you, thank you! Amazing instructor and lovely man, I will miss our lessons.

I passed first time with Ahmad who I think is a fantastic instructor. He's friendly, chatty and puts you at ease, which is important when navigating tricky situations on city roads. But at the same time he's always completely on the ball when it comes to your driving. His feedback is focused, constructive and kind, plus his tips and visual references were a great help during my test. Thanks Ahmad!

My son has been doing lessons for around 2 months with drive johnsons. He loves his lessons and always impresses me with the amount he has learnt in each of his 2 hour lessons. I feel that I chose the best place, and will certainly recommend them to others needing lessons.

wicked instructor!! i've been doing lessons ffor ages n ahmad assessed me, did another 6 hours with me n we booked the test. i passed it n that wouldnt of been possible if it werent for ahmad!! sound guy, easy lessons and prices were decent.

Ahmad is a great instructor, very patient and thorough. He provides you with the needed confidence in order to pass. I passed first time and I was extremely satisfied with his service.

Passed first time. Ahmad made time for me and was very helpful. Very supportive and knowledgeable throughout each lesson. He was great company for all my 33hrs of lessons. Thanks again Ahmad

Hassan is an absolutely amazing instructor, he always kept me nice and calm when I was learning to drive and thanks to him I was able to pass my test on my first attempt after just 26 hours of lessons with not a single minor.

I had my first lesson today, and he made feel at ease and confident during the lesson. Thank you!

I will always thank Drive johnson for pairing me with Hassan, he is a great instructor and I will recommend him to anyone.

Ahmad was my driving instructor. He was very patient and allowed me to progress at my own pace. He was also supportive during my lessons and always gave constructive feedback when appropriate.

I can’t express my feelings. I have passed my driving within 4 lessons with him . He is just amazing. 100% recommended for everyone. Loved it 🖤

Abdul is an excellent driving instructor who genuinely cares about his students' progress. He provided constructive feedback and tailored the lessons to focus on my weaknesses. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test confidently.

I have recently started the lesson with him but the way he is teaching me I am quite happy . He is calm and more patient with me though I ask him same question many time and make the mistake again and again.

I had great driving lessons with Hassan and thanks to him I have passed in just 17 hours of lessons.

Thank you for helping my son and daughter pass first time. I know son was challenging at times for you and I thank you for sticking with him and getting them both through the test.

Very fun chats,and good at calming my nerves! Very flexible with hours and considerate.

I passed my test on my first attempt after training with Ahmad. He is a really excellent instructor who put me completely at ease, helping me grow in confidence and skill at my own pace. He took me through everything that I needed and was very encouraging. He is patient, reliable, punctual, and perceptive about where things need improvement. I also greatly appreciated his flexibility when arranging lessons.

Ahmad is also extremely personable, kind and very easy to talk to. He took a real interest in me as a person as well as a student; I could tell that he cares deeply about the whole flourishing of each of his students. I admire his dedication and the joy he clearly gets from seeing students succeed.

I can thoroughly recommend him to all students. Thank you Ahmad, it was a pleasure to learn with you!

I am so glad I had Ahmad to teach me to learn to drive. He is very friendly and nice, very knowledgable, calm and patient. I am not a naturally good driver, but Ahmad got me from almost always stalling at the traffic lights (when I started) to passing and getting complimented in my driving test and passing with only 1 minor. I enjoyed our chat (we had lots of good chats) and his sense of humour. I would recommend Ahmad to anyone, he is the best instructor, and a lovely person.

Ahmad is a great instructor he is friendly and makes you feel very calm. Every single lesson I have had with him has
Been great and I have built so much confidence driving thanks to Ahmad. If ur looking for a top instructor I highly recommend him!

Passed in my first attempt with Ahmed after 4 failed attempts with a different instructor. Thanks a lot flexibility as well!

Ahmad was a great instructor and I passed my test first time. He quickly moves you on to the next level and suggests you book your test as soon as you are ready. Friendly and chatty but always 100% focused on what you are doing.

Abdul's teaching style is outstanding. He broke down complex manoeuvres into manageable steps, making them easier to grasp. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn to drive in London.

Loved learning to drive with Hassan and if you need to pass make sure you choose to learn with him.

I turned to Abdul when I failed twice with another driving instructor. Abdul never said one bad thing about my previous instructor, he seemed to just let is teaching do the talking. After 10 hours of lessons I passed my test with just 1 driving fault.

Naz is a fantastic teacher! Very thorough with his teaching and irons out any mistakes when they arise.

After changing instructors, I’m actually enjoying my lessons instead of dreading them and have come on leaps and bounds with Naz. He is very calm and patient and he has made me a very confident driver after only a handful of lessons.

I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic instructor. Loved learning to drive with Abdul. I will miss my lessons with him.

My best friend recommended Abdul to me after she passed her test with him. I'd failed a test with my last instructor and felt I wasn't really getting what I wanted from my lessons. So glad I decided to make the switch and learn with Abdul. He got me ready for my test again quickly and I passed on my second try. Thank you Abdul :)

Top instructor and couldn't recommend him enough.

I cannot recommend Ahmad enough! I had never had lessons before and Ahmad patiently and diligently went through each level. He has given me a lot of confidence for my test when I will take it.

Starting out my driving lessons with Ahmad was such a great experience! He is a natural teacher, down to earth, very communicative and present with you at all times. He made the learning process so easy for me, and I felt totally relaxed driving with him. As I just started out and I'm leaving the country I
now have to keep learning in my home country - but if I had been able to keep driving with Ahmad I am 1000% I would pass my test! Thanks Ahmad for being such a great teacher and for giving me the best start I could have wished for in my driving journey!

Learning to drive with Abdul was a pleasure. His calm and patient approach helped me overcome my nervousness. He was thorough in covering all aspects of driving, and I felt well-prepared for my test.

Ahmad is an incredible instructor!! Very patient and is exceptional in helping to correct errors and building confidence. I passed first time with all the knowledge he has given me and would recommend him to all dedicated students.

Ahmad was an excellent driving instructor—extremely reliable and organized. He was always on time and prepared for each lesson. His friendly and professional approach made learning to drive a positive experience. Ahmad explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test 1st time. Highly recommended!

Just had my second refresher lesson with Naz, he’s a great instructor, explains things clearly, and makes you feel confident behind the wheel. Highly recommend!

Useful driving test tip for Canary Wharf

Take your time on your manoeuvre so you can keep your head moving around in all directions. If you see anything coming towards you be prepared to stop; remember it’s their priority. If you stop, don’t forget to look all around you before you start moving again. Lastly, don’t stare in the door mirrors. You can glance in them quickly only to see where you are and what you need to do with your direction.

Frequently asked questions...

What happens in your first driving lessons in Canary Wharf?

When it comes to taking your driving lessons in Canary Wharf, the area around the Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf is perfect for beginners compared to many other areas in London. Although the ‘island’ is well connected to the rest of the East End, it does have a somewhat isolated feel from the rest of the city, meaning the roads around the Isle of Dogs are pretty much traffic-free.

As a beginner, your driveJohnson's instructor will introduce you to the basics on the island’s quiet back streets, such as Saunders Ness Road and Stebondale Street. You’ll also find yourself driving around the long route (over 3 miles long) which loops around the island formed by Westferry Road, Manchester Road and Marsh Wall - an ideal beginner's course where you’ll build your confidence and learn to deal with aspects of driving such as pedestrian crossings, small roundabouts and various road markings.

Once confident, you’ll be able to explore further afield; heading out towards Poplar and Limehouse with their faster roads and larger roundabouts. You may even spot the famous ‘Traffic Light Tree’ outside Billingsgate Market!

Do you have female driving instructors?

Yes, we do offer female driving instructors in Canary Wharf. All of our female instructors come highly recommended and are all rated a minimum of 4.5 out of 5 stars. They tend to get booked up quickly so if you are after driving lessons in Canary Wharf with a woman instructor, we would always recommend getting in touch in advance to avoid disappointment.

Do you do driving lessons on the weekends?

Yes, we have driving instructors in Canary Wharf that provide driving lessons on Saturdays and Sundays, if this would be more convenient for you. Just contact our friendly office team on 0330 124 4877 and they will book you in at a time on the weekend that works for you.
