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.

Top man and quality instructor. Thank you sir, you will be remembered for the rest of my life.

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.

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

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

No. 1 instructor in Luton. Thank you

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Abdul is an exceptional driving instructor in London. His calm and patient demeanour helped me build confidence on the road. He provided clear instructions and tailored the lessons to my learning style.

2 Words = Brilliant instructor. Thank you for everything.

I loved learning to drive with Abdul. He is a credit to you company!

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!

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!

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 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 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.

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 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.

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!

Ahmad is the best instructor. Honestly 5 stars isn’t enough to describe how good this man is at teaching other people how to drive.

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

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.

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

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 will highly recommend my instructor Ahmed Abdur . He helped me to improve my driving beyond test.
I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. I have passed my exam in first attempt and truly enjoyed entire experience of learning with him .

I had a great time learning to drive with Abdul. He created a supportive and relaxed environment, which helped me feel comfortable during the lessons. His encouragement motivated me to succeed.

Abdul's knowledge and expertise as a driving instructor are exceptional. He was patient with me, even during challenging moments, and provided constructive feedback that helped me improve my skills.

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.

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.

He is nice and caring and really good with autism

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.

Thank you to my amazing driving instructor Kulvinder who helped me pass first time! Kulvinder was my 3rd driving instructor and was definitely by far the best! Thank you Kulvinder.

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.

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!

Thanks to lessons with Ahmad I passed my driving test first time. He is hard working, professional and willing to give lessons at times most instructors do not. Would recommend

Fantastic instructor, calm and relaxed but never complacent. Lots of great conversation and non-stressful drives. Also did my pass plus with Ahmad!

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 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.

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 🖤

I took refresher courses with Ahmad a few years after passing my driving test to restore my confidence on the road.

Ahmad is simply fantastic as an instructor - he's attentive, great to talk to, and has practical and easily memorable tips that I can take away with me as I drive out in the world on my own. He's done wonders to restore my confidence in (and enjoyment of) driving and taught me a lot.

I highly recommend him, and wish him all the best in the future!

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.

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

I could not recommend Abdul enough. I was a really nervous driver to start off with but Abdul made me feel at ease and was understanding and patient with me. I passed first time after just 30 hours, thank you so much Abdul!

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.

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.
