I fee truly blessed to have had Ahmad as my driving instructor. Having not driven for almost 7 years since getting my full license, I was apprehensive to return to driving again, as I wasn’t sure how quickly I’d adjust. Thankfully, Ahmad’s clear and calm approach meant that I felt so comfortable, I settled into driving again much sooner than I’d anticipated. Ahmad is a great communicator and super reliable as well as knowledgeable. He is the best instructor to learn from for a reason !! He knows the roads, is amazing at explaining things and will never let you make a mistake without having the opportunity to correct it. I feel more confident now than ever before and I know he will always be here for me if I need him. I would 100% recommend learning to drive with Ahmad.

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.

Ahmad is an amazing teacher. Every lesson was such a joy. He is calm and reassuring, and I felt like I could actually make mistakes, get feedback, learn and improve, while enjoying the whole process. Ahmad is an excellent driver, and could notice the slightest mistakes in my driving and instantly deliver feedback in such a way that I never felt bad. I passed the exam the first time with a couple minors after 2 months of lessons, and more importantly, feel very confident on the road while driving.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :)

Ahmad is a very supportive and friendly instructor. I passed with him today after 8 lessons he identifies your weak spots and gives you tips on how to improve them which he did with me.
Can’t thank him enough thank you so much Ahmad.

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.

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.

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!

I passed with Ahmad as my driving instructor. His instructions are clear and allows you to learn at your own pace. Throughout my journey of taking driving lessons with Ahmad, he has made me feel at ease which has made the whole process more enjoyable. I was able to progress in each and every lesson whilst increasing my confidence level on the road. I admire how punctual he was for every lesson. He takes his job very seriously,
Overall its was a wonderful experience. I would recommend Ahmad as an instructor for anyone regardless of their driving experience.

So far I've done about 7 hours with Ahmad. The lessons are good and I feel like I've done loads already, and he's said as well that I'll probably only need like 15 or 20 more hours before I'm ready to go for my test. Really glad I got given Ahmad and will make sure I recommend all my friends to go with him as well.

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.

No. 1 instructor in Luton. Thank you

I am so happy to have passed, I started my lessons in December and thanks to Hassans teaching I was able to pass first time aswell.

I can’t thank you enough. Absolute legend of a driving instructor. Look out everyone, mans got a driving licence. Beep Beep!

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

Ahmad is a great teacher and pedagogue. He is very patient, friendly and fun to chat with. Always a great pleasure to have lessons with him, his calmness is reassuring and he helped me to learn in a confident way. I feel very lucky that he was my instructor. Thanks to his teaching, support and great kindness, I passed my test the first time.

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

I was reallyy struggling with roundabouts. I failed two tests with another instructor. DriveJohnson’s instructor helped me lots. Thanks.

Theres only one Mr Basit, Theres only one Mr Basit, Theres only one Mr Basit!

I passed first time thanks to this man. Thanking you.

I’ve had a few lessons with Nazmul and I’m very happy. He is very patient and helpful to correct any mistakes. I am becoming a more confident driver from my lessons with Nazmul and would definitely recommend.

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 passed on my first attempt after having lessons with Ahmad. He was very patient and assertive when giving me feedback, giving me instructions that I could quickly incorporate into my driving and increased my confidence.

It was a pleasure to have him as my instructor, not only because he’s great at his job, but also because he’s nice and has got very good chat!

Sound instructor. Trust him all the way and he will lead you to the first time pass!

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 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.

Can't thank Abdul enough for helping me get my driving licence and pass first time. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a top quality driving instructor.

After my wife passed with Rizwan I had to follow her recommendation. I passed second time round with Abdul but overall very happy with the outcome.

I had an outstanding experience learning to drive with Nazmul Islam! He is an incredibly calm, polite, and knowledgeable instructor who makes every lesson stress-free and enjoyable. His extensive experience in hospitality and customer service truly shines through in his patient and professional teaching style. He provides clear, structured guidance and ensures that every student feels confident behind the wheel. The Peugeot E2008 Electric automatic was a pleasure to learn in, and his attention to detail helped me improve significantly.

If you’re looking for a top-quality driving instructor who genuinely cares about your progress, Nazmul is the perfect choice! Highly recommend to anyone looking to pass with confidence. Thank you for your amazing support!

Ahmad taught my Son Daniel, who had previous experience of an instructor who was not up to standard and quite rude and negative. Ahmad showed professionalism and enthusiasm in teaching my Son. Very personable and knowledgeable. A good communicator.
Taught my Son well and showed confidence in him. My Son Daniel passed his test at Wanstead this morning.
Thank you very much Ahmad. I certainly recommend you to anyone who needs a compassionate and knowledgeable Instructor.

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 had 10 hours of driving lessons with Ahmed in preparation for moving to the US because I wanted some manual experience. I found him to be calm and considerate allowing me to work at my own pace to become familiar with driving. I’ll keep his number incase I ever come back to the UK and need a manual driving instructor!

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.

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 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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

I was really struggling with my manoeuvres with my last instructor. Just 2 lessons wit Abdul and I felt like I mastered them. I took my test 2 weeks later and passed first time. Thank youuuuuuuu!

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.

Thank to Johnsons and their office staff for helping me get an earlier test and of course giving me a great instructor too.

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 1st time thanks to this man, great instructor. Would definitely recommend Abdul to anyone

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

Learning to drive with Abdul was a positive and rewarding experience. He was supportive, encouraging, and helped me develop good driving habits. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

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.
