Our patient instructors know the quieter pockets away from the main Old Street and Great Eastern Street traffic. We start you there, building your confidence before gradually introducing busier roads. Do not let the idea of cycling traffic put you off. We will teach you how to share the road safely and confidently. Many of our Shoreditch students were once anxious about driving in busy areas. Now they navigate the trendiest part of East London with calm confidence.
