For Camden (NW1, NW3 & NW5) learners: No, we are an agent.

If you would rather learn with a female instructor, just ask. Every instructor is DBS-checked.

Camden shares 24 of its 26 postcode districts with Islington, Westminster or Brent, so enter your postcode and we check who actually covers your street rather than guessing from the borough.

For Camden (NW1, NW3 & NW5) learners: Yes, and it is a common ask here because Camden traffic is genuinely intimidating. Say nervous when you book and the first hours can run on the quieter residential streets around Belsize Park and Gospel Oak, well away from Camden Road, until you decide otherwise.

For Camden (NW1, NW3 & NW5) learners: Yes. Say refresher when you book. A lot of Camden drivers hold a licence but have not driven in London, or have not driven at all since moving here, and the lessons go on exactly that: bus lanes, cycle lanes, box junctions and the confidence to use them.

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 Camden run it, and the motorway module usually runs north on the M1 from the A41.

They can, before your test if you want. Learners are allowed on motorways in a dual-control car with a fully qualified instructor. From Camden that means heading north up the A41 to the M1, so it is usually built into a longer lesson rather than a standard hour.
