Learning to drive in Walthamstow is one of the most popular choices in East London. With its huge population, thriving high street, Walthamstow Market (Europe's longest outdoor market) and excellent Victoria line connections, Walthamstow is a vibrant area with enormous demand for driving lessons. At DriveThruL, we specialise in driving lessons in Walthamstow E17, covering Hoe Street, High Street, Forest Road, Lea Bridge Road, Chingford Road and the whole E17 postcode.
Both manual driving lessons in Walthamstow and automatic driving lessons in Walthamstow are available from DriveThruL at the same price of £36/hr. Many of our E17 students choose automatic because the stop start nature of Hoe Street traffic can make clutch control stressful for beginners. However, a manual licence gives you more flexibility. You can drive any car in the UK.

Prices start from £190 and both manual and automatic intensive courses are available across E17. Walthamstow's large population means demand is high, so we recommend booking early.

We also offer pre-test mock driving tests so nothing surprises you on the day.
