Public Transport Guidance
Getting to Wembley for your driving lessons.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Wembley, public transport is highly recommended to navigate the area efficiently. Wembley is served by three main stations: Wembley Park, Wembley Stadium, and Wembley Central.
If you’re travelling from towns north of Wembley, such as Watford Junction, you can take Southern services directly to Wembley Central, a journey under 15 minutes. Alternatively, London Overground services also connect Watford Junction to Wembley Central. From areas like High Wycombe or Bicester, Chiltern Railways offers direct services to Wembley Stadium station.
For those coming from further afield, like Birmingham New Street, London Northwestern Railway or Avanti West Coast services to London Euston are available, with onward connections to Wembley Central via the London Overground or Bakerloo line. From London Marylebone, Chiltern Railways provides a quick 9-minute journey to Wembley Stadium.
The best times to travel to Wembley are generally during off-peak hours, outside of weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM) and anytime on weekends, to avoid crowds and potentially secure better fares. Be aware that during major events at Wembley, services will be much busier, and queuing systems may be in place.
You can book train tickets and plan your journey to Wembley via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.
Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Wembley, public transport is highly recommended to navigate the bustling area. Several bus routes connect Wembley to surrounding towns and villages. From Harrow, the 182 bus offers a direct service to Wembley Stadium and Wembley Park, taking approximately 36-42 minutes. The H17 bus also runs from Harrow Bus Station to Wembley Central Station, with a journey time of around 23 minutes.
If you’re travelling from Ealing, the 483 bus provides a direct link to Wembley Stadium, with the journey from Bond Street taking about 39 minutes. Alternatively, the 112 bus from Ealing Broadway (Haven Green) can get you to Stonebridge Park Station in approximately 15 minutes, which is close to Wembley. From Brent Cross, the 182 bus is a direct option to Wembley Stadium, taking around 29-36 minutes from Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
To avoid peak traffic and ensure a smoother journey to Wembley, aim to travel outside of weekday morning (7 AM – 10 AM) and evening (4 PM – 7 PM) peak hours. Buses in London are cashless, so you’ll need an Oyster card, Travelcard, or a UK-issued contactless payment card. A single bus fare is £1.75, and the Hopper fare allows unlimited bus and tram journeys within one hour for the same price. You can purchase bus tickets and explore options on Trainline, Arriva UK Bus, National Express, or the First Bus App.
Fun Fact About Wembley
The original Wembley Stadium, opened in 1923, was built on the site of an unfinished tower intended to rival the Eiffel Tower, known as “Watkin’s Folly”. Its inaugural event, the 1923 FA Cup Final, famously saw a mounted policeman on a white horse help clear the pitch of an estimated 200,000 overflowing spectators.

- The DVSA recommends about 45 hours of professional lessons and 22 hours of private practice for most learners.
- Some learners feel confident sooner, others need more time.
- Your instructor will monitor your progress and advise when you’re test-ready.
- Practice regularly for the best results.
- Everyone learns at their own pace.
Some learners feel test-ready in 30 hours. Others need more time to build confidence behind the wheel. What really matters isn’t the total - it’s the consistency.
The more often you drive, the more natural it becomes. Combining quality instructor lessons with regular practice builds confidence quickly.
Every learner progresses at their own pace, and that’s perfectly normal. Your instructor will adapt to your comfort level and guide you through each step with patience.
🧐 How to prepare for your first driving lesson
Getting ready for your first driving lesson is an exciting step - and a bit of preparation can help you feel more confident and relaxed on the day. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the most of it:
1. Check Your Provisional Licence
Before your lesson, make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence. Your instructor will need to see it to confirm you’re legally allowed to drive.
2. Get Familiar with the Basics
Take a few minutes to learn the basic layout of a car - the pedals, gear stick, steering wheel, and mirrors. Watching a short video or reading a beginner’s guide can help you feel more prepared.
3. Choose Comfortable Clothing
Wear clothes that allow you to move freely and flat-soled shoes that give you good control of the pedals. Avoid anything bulky or restrictive.
4. Bring the Essentials
Have your provisional licence with you, along with glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. A bottle of water is also a good idea to stay hydrated.
5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Feeling well-rested will help you stay focused and alert throughout your lesson.
6. Brush Up on the Highway Code
A quick review of key road signs, speed limits, and basic driving rules can give you a boost in confidence before you get behind the wheel. [download The Highway Code 2025 PDF]
7. Keep Your Expectations Realistic
Your first lesson is all about getting familiar with the car and starting to build your skills. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect - take it one step at a time.
With the right preparation and a calm mindset, you’ll be off to a great start.
🙏 What to expect on your first driving lesson
Your first driving lesson is a key milestone - it's where everything begins. The goal is to help you feel comfortable, introduce you to the car, and give you your first taste of driving. Here’s what typically happens during your first session:
1. Meet Your Instructor
You’ll meet your DVSA-registered driving instructor, who will check your provisional licence and have a quick chat about any experience or knowledge you already have.
2. Go Through the Cockpit Drill (DSSSM)
Before driving, you'll go through a quick safety routine to get set up properly:
- Doors - Make sure all doors are securely closed.
- Seat - Adjust your seat so you can reach the pedals comfortably.
- Steering - Adjust the steering wheel to suit your position.
- Seatbelt - Buckle up for safety.
- Mirrors - Position your mirrors for a clear view around the car.
3. Learn the Basic Car Controls
Your instructor will show you the key controls, including:
- Accelerator, brake, and clutch (if you're learning in a manual)
- Gear stick, handbrake, and indicators
- Other essentials like lights and wipers
4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:
- How to start the engine safely
- Checking mirrors and blind spots
- Moving off smoothly and bringing the car to a controlled stop
5. Drive on Quiet Roads
If you're ready, your instructor may take you to a quiet area to practice simple driving skills like steering, gear changes, and stopping calmly.
6. Feedback and Next Steps
At the end of the lesson, your instructor will talk you through what went well and what to work on next time. This feedback helps you build confidence and track your progress.
