Driving Lessons in Brent

Lessons are £35 an hour across NW10, HA9 and NW2, and automatic costs exactly the same as manual. Ten hours is £340 and twenty is £669, which brings it to £33.45 an hour. The figures come from the booking system, so the price here is the price you book.

Hendon, a few miles north in Barnet, is the usual choice, because Brent has no test centre of its own. Its current DVSA figures are at the top of this page. Mill Hill publishes an identical rate a little further north, and Southall is the western option and lower than both.

Yes, on event days at the stadium. The closures and queues reach well beyond Wembley Park onto the main roads through the borough, so instructors covering Brent schedule around the fixture list. Mention the days you would prefer when you book.

Yes, at the same price as manual. On the A5 and the North Circular the hard part is lane choice and gap judgement rather than gear changes, so an automatic lets the whole lesson go into that. Hendon, 3.4 miles north, passed 51.0% of 5,790 automatic tests in the DVSA 2025/26 figures, against 51.8% for manual. 2 instructor pages offer automatic lessons and say they mostly cover Brent. They are Ash Rahman and Bhiten Waghela. Say automatic when you book. The streets around the stadium are covered on the page for driving lessons in Wembley, at the same £35 an hour.

No. Rated Driving is an agent, not a school, so you are matched with an independent instructor rather than assigned one on a rota. We cover NW10, HA9, NW2 and the surrounding codes, hold your payment until after each lesson, then pass it on. Every instructor is DVSA-licensed and DBS-checked, and you can ask for a female instructor when you book.

Willesden, Harlesden, Kilburn, Neasden, Kingsbury, Queen's Park, Cricklewood, Dollis Hill, Brondesbury and Alperton among others. Wembley sits in the Middlesex HA area and driving lessons in Wembley are on their own page. 11 of the borough's 12 postcode districts are shared with a neighbouring borough, so enter your postcode and we check who covers your exact street.

It can be. The A406 crosses the borough and local routes use it, so any instructor teaching here will have you driving it well before test day. It is fast, multi-lane and has short slip roads, which is why it is built up to rather than started on.

Yes. Say nervous when you book and we match you with a patient instructor. The residential streets around Kingsbury and Preston are quiet enough to spend several hours on before you go near the A5 or the North Circular.

Yes. Say refresher when you book. The North Circular is the single most common request here, usually from people who hold a licence but have avoided it for years.

Yes. Pass Plus is the DVSA's six-module course for new licence holders, covering motorway, dual carriageway, rural and night driving, and some insurers reduce premiums for it. Instructors covering Brent run it, and the M1 is close enough to make the motorway module straightforward.

DVSA research puts it at 45 hours of professional lessons plus 22 hours of private practice, and learners who get that private practice are markedly more likely to pass first time. Many learners here do not have a car to practise in, so the paid hours carry more of the work than the national average assumes. Your instructor will give you an honest count after assessing you.

It moves weekly, so check GOV.UK on the day you book. Two things stay true: tests can be booked up to 24 weeks ahead, and there is no official waiting list or cancellation list. Mill Hill is worth checking alongside Hendon, because the two publish the same rate and their availability differs. If you already hold a date and want an earlier one, our free Driving Test Swap matches you with another learner who wants yours.

Rated Driving is not a driving school. We match you with independent, DVSA-licensed driving instructors in Brent. 3 instructor pages say they mostly cover Brent. Instructors who state they cover Brent also include Cheryl Andrews. Instructors covering Brent work across NW10, HA9 and NW2 and the surrounding codes. 11 of the borough's 12 postcode districts are shared with Camden, Ealing, Harrow, Barnet or Westminster, so the postcode you enter decides who covers you. The test centre on this page is Hendon test centre (Hendon, Barnet · 3.4 mi north). No test centre of its own, a stadium in the middle, and the North Circular across it. Every instructor is DBS-checked before they take a learner, and we hold your payment until after the lesson. Instructors who state they cover Brent include Yamin Bendriss, Ash Rahman and Bhiten Waghela.

You can ask for a female driving instructor in Brent when you book. The other answer on this page names instructors who state they cover Brent. Instructors who list female driving instructor on their own page and state they cover Brent include Cheryl Andrews. The price on this page is £35 an hour, and automatic lessons are the same price. The same booking covers Willesden, Harlesden, Kilburn, Neasden and Kingsbury. The A406 crosses the borough as a fast multi-lane road with short slip roads and heavy goods traffic, and the A5 runs the other way as a slow, congested high street. Instructors here teach them as two different skills, because they are, and they build up to the A406 rather than starting on it. Lessons for that match use Hendon test centre (Hendon, Barnet · 3.4 mi north). If nobody suitable has space, we tell you rather than quietly matching you with someone else.
