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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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 :)

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.

He is nice and caring and really good with autism

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

Passed my test with Ahmad and I can vouch for his skills a driving instructor. I have been through many instructors and Ahmad was by far the best. Unlike most other instructors he is patient with you and knows how to teach well whilst not lacking in any other area of being an instructor. He is also lovely driving and talking and share many wisdoms with you. I think this comes from the fact that he is also a Imam and used to teach Arabic so he has much more experience than most instructors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

2 Words = Brilliant instructor. Thank you for everything.

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.

Amazing instructor! Helped me pass 1st time.

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

I had an exceptional experience learning to drive with Ahmad. From the very start, he made me feel at ease, offering clear guidance and consistent support throughout every lesson. Ahmad’s calm and patient approach helped me build confidence behind the wheel, and his thorough feedback was invaluable in refining my skills. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made every lesson enjoyable, and I always looked forward to our sessions. Thanks to his expert teaching, I passed my test first time. I highly recommend Ahmad to anyone looking for a top-notch instructor.

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

Had a great time learning to drive with Ahmad. A very good teacher always calm and relaxed but safe. Overall just a good person that I enjoyed spending time with and am grateful for him helping me pass.

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

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!

Hassan is an amazing instructor and he was great at braking down the issues that i had and helped to make me a confident driver who can tackle any situation.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.
