Driving Lessons in Greenwich

Lessons are £38 an hour across SE10, SE18 and SE3, and automatic costs exactly the same as manual. Ten hours is £370 and twenty is £726, which brings it to £36.30 an hour. The figures come from the booking system, so the price here is the price you book.

There is no Greenwich test centre. Bromley, 5.7 miles south, is the usual choice and its current DVSA figures are at the top of this page. Sidcup is 5.4 miles south east and publishes the highest rate of any London centre. Belvedere is 4.4 miles east, the nearest option for the east of the borough, and a lower rate than Sidcup.

Sidcup is slightly nearer from Greenwich than Bromley, 5.4 miles against 5.7, and it publishes 58.7% to Bromley's 52.9%. Ask your instructor which one they teach towards, since knowing the routes counts for as much as the headline figure.

Yes, at the same price as manual. It is worth considering here because of the hills up from the river, which is where manual learners lose the most hours. Bromley, 5.7 miles south, passed 51.0% of 6,543 automatic tests in the DVSA 2025/26 figures, against 54.7% for manual. 2 instructor pages offer automatic lessons and say they mostly cover Greenwich. They are Jonathan John and Bijay Singh. Instructors who offer automatic lessons and state they cover Greenwich also include Paul White, Ade Oguntayo, Sergiu Ardelean and Bitu Sanko. Say automatic when you book.

No. Rated Driving is an agent, not a school. We match you with independent DVSA-licensed instructors working SE postcodes, and your money sits with us until the lesson has happened before it goes to them. Every instructor is DBS-checked before they take a learner, and a female instructor is something you can ask for when you book.

Greenwich, Woolwich, Eltham, Blackheath, Charlton, Plumstead, Kidbrooke, Thamesmead, Abbey Wood and Shooters Hill among others. 11 of the borough's 13 postcode districts are shared with a neighbouring borough, so enter your postcode and we check who covers your exact street.

Not necessarily, but the approach roads are unavoidable if you live in the north of the borough, and instructors will build up to them. A tunnel is a committed manoeuvre with no lane changes and no stopping, which is exactly why it is taught rather than avoided.

Yes. Say nervous when you book and we match you with a patient instructor. The residential roads around New Eltham and Westcombe Park are quiet enough to spend the first hours on before you go near the tunnel approaches.

Yes. Say refresher when you book. Hill starts and the Blackwall approach are the two things people most often want the hours spent on.

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 the borough run it, with the rural module usually done out towards the Kent edge.

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. The hills and the tunnel approaches tend to add a few hours early on. 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. Because the borough has no centre, check Bromley and Sidcup together rather than one at a time. 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 Greenwich. 2 instructor pages say they mostly cover Greenwich. Instructors who state they cover Greenwich also include Sergiu Ardelean, Ade Oguntayo, Bitu Sanko and Paul White. Instructors covering Greenwich work across SE10, SE18 and SE3 and the surrounding codes. 11 of the borough's 13 postcode districts are shared with Lewisham, Bexley or Tower Hamlets, so the postcode you enter decides who covers you. The test centre on this page is Bromley test centre (Bromley · 5.7 mi south. Greenwich has no test centre). One half is the Blackwall Tunnel approach, the other is the climb to Blackheath. Every instructor is DBS-checked before they take a learner, and we hold your payment until after the lesson. Instructors who state they cover Greenwich include Bijay Singh, Jonathan John.

You can ask for a female driving instructor in Greenwich when you book. The other answer on this page names instructors who state they cover Greenwich. Instructors who list female driving instructor on their own page and state they cover Greenwich include Ade Oguntayo and Bitu Sanko. The price on this page is £38 an hour, and automatic lessons are the same price. The same booking covers Woolwich, Eltham, Charlton, Plumstead and Kidbrooke. The Blackwall Tunnel approach is a long committed slip with heavy goods traffic and no way to change your mind once you are on it. The other half of the borough is the climb to Shooters Hill and Blackheath. Instructors teach the hill first, because it is where the car teaches you rather than the traffic. Lessons for that match use Bromley test centre (Bromley · 5.7 mi south. Greenwich has no test centre). If nobody suitable has space, we tell you rather than quietly matching you with someone else.
