Ealing (W5 and W13) gives a learner everything. The Hanger Lane gyratory and the North Circular are among London’s most demanding junctions; Ealing Broadway and the Uxbridge Road are busy, camera-watched high streets; and the quiet residential grids off them are where beginners build up. DVSA-approved instructors, manual and automatic.
Your very first 2-hour lesson is from £75 for a new UK provisional driver, £85 if you have some experience. Tell us your W5 or W13 postcode in the guided booking and we show you the instructors who cover W5 first.

Ealing packs three kinds of road into a small area, which is just what a learner needs: quiet grids to get the basics right, busy high streets to test them, and a major gyratory in between.
Where the A40 meets the North Circular, Hanger Lane is one of London’s biggest and busiest junctions — many lanes, heavy traffic and a Tube station in the middle. Reading it early and committing to your lane is the skill it teaches, and we build up to it rather than throw you at it.
The A4020 through Ealing Broadway and West Ealing is a busy high-street spine, and its bus lanes are camera-enforced. Position and timing here keep you on the right side of the cameras and ready for the test routes.
The streets off the Broadway calm right down — 20mph roads that are where first lessons and the manoeuvres are learned before you meet the gyratory.
Put W5 into the guided booking and the instructors who cover W5 and W13 show first, each with the times they really have open. Settle on one person and stay with them throughout. Would you rather a female instructor? Say so on WhatsApp or when you book and we match you where we can — here is how that works.
The complete licence. A dual-controlled car, clutch control practised on Ealing’s quiet residential streets, and a syllabus in your student portal — your instructor can log your progress, though some keep their own records instead.
Manual lessons in detailNo clutch to manage on the High Road and nothing to stall at the lights. Same £47.50 an hour as manual, and a popular choice across NW London.

There is no DVSA test centre in Ealing; the nearest are Greenford and Southall, a short drive out, and both are known to be demanding — so we teach their routes thoroughly. You book the test with the DVSA and your lessons are planned around the centre you pick, including a mock test there. See the test areas page.
