Top instructor and couldn't recommend him enough.

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.

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 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.

2 Words = Brilliant instructor. Thank you for everything.

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.

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.

Passed with Ahmad today at Chingford his a good teacher and I’ve don’t 10 hour crash course where we were going through the test route which made me confident for the test

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.

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.

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

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

Ay up to my man Abdul. Brill instructor!

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

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 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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Abdul's teaching style is outstanding. He broke down complex manoeuvres into manageable steps, making them easier to grasp. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn to drive in London.

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!

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!

Cheers Abdul mate, top guy

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'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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Useful driving test tip for Canary Wharf Show more

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.
