What Our Students Say About DriveThruL

Rated 4.9/5 by learners across East London, including Leytonstone.

“Jazak’Allah to my driving instructor M Abdul Qayyum for helping me pass. Would recommend to anyone who is at any stage of driving as he’s understanding of mistakes and will help you overcome these. For anyone in East London that needs to pass, he’s the one to book lessons with.”

Akram Hussain Google review

“I would highly recommend Rufsana! She’s honestly an amazing person and instructor. I passed first time with only 1 minor, and two of my siblings also passed first time with her. Even if you’re really nervous about learning to drive, she makes it manageable and helps you feel more confident behind the wheel. I’m so grateful for everything she’s done 🥰”

Why Learn Here

Learning to drive in Leytonstone, Waltham Forest

Leytonstone sits at the edge of Epping Forest land, with Wanstead Flats and Hollow Ponds on one side and a busy High Road running through the middle. The Green Man roundabout, where the A12 passes nearby, and the Whipps Cross roundabout by the hospital are the two junctions most learners here need to get comfortable with. The High Road has bus lanes and a lot of stop start traffic. Behind it, Bushwood and the streets around Cann Hall Road are calmer and lined with parked cars, which suits early lessons and manoeuvres. Learners in E11 often book Wanstead for their test.

Route Tips from Leytonstone

  • Charlie Brown's Roundabout is where the A406, the A113 Chigwell Road and the A1400 Woodford Avenue meet. It is a 40mph, multi lane roundabout. Choose your lane from the signs on the approach and hold it all the way round.
  • Many routes use the George Lane one way loop around the A406 in South Woodford (George Lane, The Viaduct and Mulberry Way). Read the lane arrows early and keep to the one way flow.
  • The A406 North Circular runs at 50mph here. Build your speed on the slip road and join at the speed of the traffic, not below it.

Local Guide

Between the forest and the High Road

Leytonstone has open green space at Wanstead Flats and Hollow Ponds, and a busy High Road with bus lanes and shops. The roads that join the two are mostly residential. That gives a learner a natural path: quiet streets first, then the High Road, then the roundabouts.

The roads near Wanstead Flats can get busier when events are on, so your instructor will plan around them in early lessons and use them for practice later.

E11Wanstead test centreWaltham Forest

Green Man and Whipps Cross

Two roundabouts shape driving in E11. The Green Man links local roads with the A12, so traffic arrives from several directions at different speeds. Whipps Cross, beside the hospital, adds ambulances, buses and pedestrians. Practising both until the lane choice is automatic takes away much of the stress of test day.

Whipps Cross also teaches you to watch for vehicles coming out of the hospital and for people crossing near bus stops.
