Driving lessons in Ealing
Manual and automatic lessons, intensive courses and mock tests in Ealing — led by a former DVSA driving examiner.
Ealing is the biggest of our West London areas and spans two outcodes, W5 and W13, from Ealing Common up through the Broadway to Hanger Lane. Six instructors cover it, including Seema Darr in automatic and Rahat Khan, who also runs driver rehabilitation work.
The teaching here is dense-traffic teaching. The Uxbridge Road through the Broadway is stop-start most of the day, and the Hanger Lane gyratory sits at the top of the area — which almost nobody enjoys and everybody benefits from having driven before test day.

Common test fault
Use of mirrors · Change of direction
Ealing pupils are usually confident by the time they test and lose marks on mirror work at the Broadway — a lot of lane changes in short succession with buses on the nearside. The fault is rarely a missed mirror; it is a mirror checked after the wheel has already moved.

“I completed a 30 hour intensive course with Asif, and it was a great experience. He is easy going, funny, knowledgeable, and an excellent teacher. I fully recomended.”
Cristopher · with Asif
“He explained everything so clearly and always made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. I've now passed my test and I genuinely couldn't have done it without his help, he always took the time to explain what I was doing wrong and how I could improve.”
Hanna K. · with Shazad
“I started with zero knowledge and was quite nervous on my first lesson, so I'm really happy with how far I've come. He explains things clearly and gives practical advice that actually helps you understand how to drive properly, rather than just teaching you how to pass the test.”

Answers
Driving lessons in Ealing
Where would I take my driving test if I live in Ealing?
Ealing pupils usually sit at Greenford. Your instructor teaches the routes from the centre you are actually booked at rather than a generic set, so tell us which one when you build your plan.
Do you teach manual and automatic in Ealing?
We teach both — 6 manual and 5 automatic across Ealing. Automatic slots book out faster than manual almost everywhere, so ask early if that is what you need.
How many hours will I need?
This will depend on your driving experience and driving standard. We always recommend booking a 2 hour assessment so we can support you better. Most international drivers typically take between 7 and 20 hours. This is an average, not a quote- the two hour assessment is how we get closer to a real estimated number.
Do you pick up from Ealing?
Yes. Lessons start at your address, and the nearest office is Greenford — about 2.8 miles away — so nobody is driving across London to reach a first lesson.
