Our instructors help learners handle the steady traffic and parked cars along Rye Lane and Peckham High Street while using the calmer streets around Peckham Rye and Nunhead for early lessons. With the local test now held at Mitcham, we focus on the routes that come up on the day. We cover all of SE15 seven days a week with pick up from home, work or college.

Our instructors have memorised every Mitcham test route. no surprises on test day.

Half our students in Peckham start exactly where you are right now, and they all get there in the end. We'll start on quiet Peckham roads near Rye Lane and build up gradually.
Dual controls, patient instructors, and a pace that suits you. not us.
"What if I don't get on with my instructor?"
If you don't feel comfortable with the car or your instructor, we will do our best to arrange another instructor for you. Your comfort matters more than anything. Book a lesson and get honest advice on what you need.
