Driving Lessons in Hammersmith and Fulham

Lessons are £40 an hour across W6, W12 and SW6, and automatic costs exactly the same as manual. Ten hours is £389 and twenty is £764, which brings it to £38.20 an hour. The figures come from the booking system, so the price here is the price you book.

Isleworth, on Fleming Way in Hounslow, about six and a half miles west. The borough has no test centre of its own. Isleworth's current DVSA figures are at the top of this page: 50.4% overall, which is above the London average. Mitcham and Southall are the alternatives and both are further and lower.

Yes, at the same price as manual. Around the gyratory and on the A4 the hard part is lane choice and observation, not gear changes, so an automatic lets you put the whole lesson into the part that is difficult. Say automatic when you book.

No. Rated Driving is an agent, not a school, so you are matched with an independent instructor rather than assigned to one on a rota. We cover W6, W12, SW6 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.

Hammersmith, Fulham, Shepherd's Bush, White City, Parsons Green, Sands End, Brook Green, Baron's Court, West Kensington and Fulham Broadway among others. 9 of the borough's 10 postcode districts are shared with a neighbouring borough, so enter your postcode and we check who covers your exact street.

You will, eventually, and it is worth it. Instructors do not start you there. The usual build is quiet Fulham streets, then Fulham Palace Road, then Talgarth Road, then the gyratory itself once your mirror and signal work is automatic rather than deliberate.

Yes. Say nervous when you book and we match you with a patient instructor. Fulham is a good borough for it: there is a large grid of quiet residential streets south of the Fulham Road where you can spend several hours before going near a main road.

Yes. Say refresher when you book. It is a frequent ask here from people who passed elsewhere and have never driven a multi-lane one way system, and those hours go on the gyratory and the A4 rather than on the basics.

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, and the M4 is close enough to make the motorway module straightforward.

They can, before your test if you want. Learners are allowed on motorways in a dual-control car with a fully qualified instructor. The M4 starts a few miles west of Hammersmith, so it fits into a normal lesson more easily than it does from most of London.

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. Learners in this borough often need a few extra hours on multi-lane junctions, because the local roads throw them at you sooner than a suburb would. 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. Isleworth conducts over twelve thousand tests a year so its dates go quickly. If you already hold a date and want an earlier one, our free Driving Test Swap matches you with another learner who wants yours.
