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.

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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!

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.

I must have spent over £3000 on intensive courses who rip you off. I turned to weekly with Abdul and after 4 weeks of doing 2-4 hours a week I passed.It just shows intensive courses don’t work for everyone, especially those who don’t deal with pressure well.Thank you again Abdul for your help.

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.

when I call drive johnson, they say they have good instructing in my city in london. i ask them if they can give me the best person that they have in this city and i get given ahmad. he do my lessons and i pass my test yesterday now i am ready to drive anywhere thanks to the best instructor!!

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.

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.

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.

Nazmul is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares about his students. His lessons were well-structured, and he adapted his teaching to suit my learning style. Thanks to him, Also feel like a confident and safe driver.

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.

i could sit here and write so much about how much of an amazing instructor Ahmad is, from how gentle and patient he is to how he goes above and beyond to ensure his students completely understand the concept of how to be a safe driver. i will always be grateful for everything he has taught me and i will miss our lessons.
i will recommend him everywhere i go!

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.

Thank you Abdul for helping pass my driving test first time. I feel like you have been a mentor and a driving instructor in one. You have built my confidence up as a driver and I really appreciate it

Finally passed my driving test today with Abdul after having previously had 3 different driving instructors and being let down by them. Abdul is extremely reliable and experience as a driving instructor, here's years of knowledge and expertise will be passed on down to you to help you become a confident driver. Thank you Abdul!

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.

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

Soooooo happy today, thank you driveJohnson’s and thank you to my instructor.

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.

I passed with just 20 hours lessons thanks to my instructor Abdul.

No. 1 instructor in Luton. Thank 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.

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!

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.

Top instructor and couldn't recommend him enough.

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

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

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.

Hossain is a fantastic driving instructor who will help you pass quickly and build up your driving confidence, I'd recommend him to anyone!

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.

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 is one of the most caring and intelligent instructors out there. He consistently delivered with excellent teaching and feedback. Ahmad is very calm and makes driving easy and fun during his lessons. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for enthusiasm whilst learning enabling them to great success in their driving journey. Thanks to Ahmad I have past my driving test with only 2 minors.

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!

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

Great teacher and has great techniques to help you learn the tips and tricks to learning to drive.

Ahmad is an AMAZING instructor. I passed my driving test the first time thanks to his rigorous and attentive teaching. I’m really grateful for having him as my instructor, he takes the time to explain every single detail about driving, never puts any pressure, very patient and also punctual. I always felt relaxed about driving, he is also very easy to talk to and friendly.
Finally his gives great driving recommendations and advices that are extremely helpful for the test and for the everyday driving too.
I absolutely recommend him, anyone would be lucky to have him as their instructor.

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.

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

He is nice and caring and really good with autism

Nazmul is a fantastic teacher! I have only had 4 lessons with him and I feel like I’ve come so far. He really breaks down concepts that are usually very tough to understand. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my instructor!

I’ve had 3 lessons so far and thanks to Naz I have grown very confident in driving very quickly. ☺️

Thank you Abdul. Amazing instructor.

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

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.

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.

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.
