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.

Where to start! If you are lucky enough to have Ahmed as your driving instructor, you are in safe hands. I started with him about a year ago having lost my confidence with driving. I didn’t enjoy it and never thought I’d pass. But Ahmed’s calm manner and meticulous standards meant that I grew to love driving, and passed my test first time. It was a pleasure to spend so many hours learning to drive with him, and I’ll miss our weekly car chats!

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.

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.

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.

Abdul is an amazing driving instructor. His vast knowledge of the London roads and test routes helped me become familiar with the area. I passed my test thanks to his guidance and support.

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.

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

My instruction with Ahmad was fantastic. He picked me up for the first lesson & I must have been a nervous wreck - but we drove for about 10 minutes to somewhere quieter, then he showed me the basics of moving the vehicle, and off we went! After 20 hours I had to take a break in my lessons for personal reasons, but when I resumed Ahmad was more than happy to continue with me and see me through my driving test! A very happy Hannah that shows off for taking 32 hours & passing her test 1st time with 1 minor!

Woooooooooo! Passed me test day, all thanks to drive Johnsons. Great company.

Top man and top driving instructor. Had a top class experience all round with Drive Johnsons and Abdul himself. Can't fault it and would definitely recommend to anyone. Have already sent a few of my friends Abdul's way. Thanks man.

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!

10/10 service from the office & the instructor, can’t recommend them enough.

Having Hassan as an instructor was great! Learnt a lot and passed 1st time 😁

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 amazing instructor who teaches you everything. He is extremely calm and never yells so you don't get frightened. He allows you to make mistakes, correct them and overall explains why you were wrong in a calm manner. The best instructor I have met!

Had my second lesson today and already feel comfortable and in control! A great teacher

Quality lessons and a great instructor who knew the test routes that I would face.

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

Abdul is a professional and experienced driving instructor. He provided a structured learning plan and ensured I had a solid foundation of driving skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons in London

Only have 2 lessons and can already see a big amount of progress. Nazmul explains things thoroughly which gives you the information to apply this practically

2 Words = Brilliant instructor. Thank you for everything.

Ahmad has been such an incredible instructor!

He's friendly, patient and makes sure that you learn all the required techniques properly.

He helped me pass in 2021 and now through his guidance assisted me with my pass plus!

It's an absolute pleasure learning with Ahmad.

Abdul is a highly skilled and knowledgeable driving instructor. He explained complex concepts in a simple manner, making it easier for me to understand. I highly recommend him for driving lessons in London.

Fantastic teacher, goes at the correct pace never raises his voice and allows me to make the mistakes and correct them myself instead of correcting me every time. Always enjoy the lessons and very much recommend!

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.

I want to thank Hassan as he has helped me to pass my test whilst at Uni and I am over the moon to have passed with an expert instructor.

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.

He is an amazing instructor. He had doubts at first, but I beat the odds and came out successfully. I only got a few driving faults because the driving instructor standard is so high. Trust me, you cannot fail with Mr. Ahmad.

A professional instructor who brings the best out you, builds up confidence and passion for driving. A very knowledgeable person outside of driving. A person who is an instructor and a mentor. Highly recommend anyone to learn with Ahmad.

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

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.

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!

From begining, ABDUL MASUD demonstrated exceptional professionalism, patience, and expertise. No matter it is heavy raining or heavy hot weather, he consistently arrived on time, was well-prepared, and maintained a positive and encouraging attitude throughout our sessions. This made a significant difference in my learning experience.

ABDUL MASUD provided clear and concise instructions that helped me understand and master various driving skills. He was always patient, especially when I was struggling with pull up to the right maneuvers, and offered constructive feedback that corrected my mistake.He ensured that I was well-versed in all necessary safety protocols and was quick to correct any mistakes, ensuring a safe learning environment at all times.

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 will miss my lessons with Ahmad, talking about everything whilst still learning. Choosing Ahmad as an instructor is almost guaranteed to get you a pass if you listen to him and take on what he says. Thank you for everything Ahmad!

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.

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

Me and my partner both decide to do lessons and get our licenses as fast as we can. I called drive jhonsons and arranged lessons for me and her, and we both got given ahmad ( who is very nice and great instructor ). If you need lessons then we must tell you that ahmad will be best instructor ever!

I passed first time with Abdul. I would recommend him. Thank you.

I wasn't sure about using a bigger driving school because of all the things you read online, but after being let down SIX times in a row by someone else, I called driveJohnson's to book my first lesson just so I could get the ball rolling. Ahmad did my lesson and we got on like a house on fire, and now after 15 hours with him I'm looking at booking my test for next month - great instructor!

Really great instuctor

I recently took refresher lessons with Ahmad, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Even though I already had my license, I wanted to rebuild my confidence, and Ahmad was the perfect instructor for that.

He is incredibly calm and an excellent communicator, making it easy to understand what I needed to focus on without feeling overwhelmed. His approach was patient and supportive, giving me the space to ask questions and work on specific areas. Plus, he’s a great conversationalist, which made each lesson very enjoyable.

Whether you're new to driving or just looking to brush up on your skills like I was, I highly recommend Ahmad. He’ll help you feel confident and safe behind the wheel again!

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 :)

I want to thank god and my driving instructor Abdul for helping me pass my drivng test today. I passed second time but first time with Abdul.

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 🖤

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!

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.

Passed my driving test first time after 30 hours of lessons with Abdul. So so happy and grateful to Abdul and the team at drivejohnsons, couldn't have done it without you!!

My confidence was so low after failing my first test with Abdul. I wanted to give him. Abdul talked me out of giving up and it was definitely the right move. He picked me up when I was down and got me through, I’m not sure if I would have come back to driving lessons if it wasn’t for Abdul and inspiration. Thank you.

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.
