Driving lessons in Wanstead — your questions
Do you know the Wanstead test routes?
Yes — Wanstead is the test centre most East London Learners candidates use, so route familiarity is built into lessons rather than crammed at the end.
Can I do an intensive course before a Wanstead test?
Yes. Intensive courses are available and are usually the fastest option if you already have a test date booked. Message Chris with your date and he'll tell you honestly whether it's realistic.

Do you pick me up from home?
Yes. Door-to-door pick-up and drop-off is included anywhere in the covered postcodes — E6, E7, E11, E12, E13, E15, E16, E20, IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG11, RM8. Home, work, college or the station, whichever is easiest.
Do you teach manual as well as automatic?
No — East London Learners is automatic only. Chris teaches exclusively in an automatic car, which means every lesson, every route and every mock test is built around automatic driving.
For most learners that's an advantage: without a clutch to think about, you spend your lesson time on observation, road position and judgement, which is what the test actually assesses.
