Wimbledon Driving School offers manual, automatic and intensive driving lessons in Putney and Roehampton. Tuition starts from your present experience, then develops the observation and judgement needed for local junctions, busy high streets and changing traffic layouts. Call, book online or use WhatsApp when you are ready to enquire.
Trusted by learner drivers since 2007.
Local overview
Putney combines residential streets with a busy river crossing, station traffic and classified roads carrying buses, cyclists and through traffic. Lessons can separate those demands into manageable skills, helping you look further ahead, hold a steady position and make decisions before a queue or lane change becomes urgent.
Putney Bridge junction combines signals, crossings, cycle space and several busy approaches. Learning here is not about memorising one layout. It is about reading signs, signals, lane markings and other road users each time you arrive.
If you live, study or work in the SW15 postcode district, share your full postcode when you enquire. The team can confirm lesson and pickup arrangements for your address, whether you are in central Putney, Roehampton or another part of the service area.
Lesson choices
You can learn in a manual or automatic car, book standard lessons as you go or ask about a concentrated intensive course. Tell the team what experience you already have, what licence you want and how often you can practise so the first booking starts from the right place.
On-road confidence
Putney and Roehampton provide a useful progression from moving away and stopping to junctions, crossroads, roundabouts and manoeuvres. Your instructor can select the next setting when your control and observation are ready for the extra demand.
Wildcroft Road can be used to practise preparing the car, checking all around and moving away under control. The same setting helps you choose a safe place to stop, use mirrors before changing speed and finish in a secure road position.
Dover House Road, Parkmead and Dover Park Drive provide local junctions for practising turns and emerging. Work through the routine in order: observe both directions, judge the available gap and complete the turn at a speed that keeps your position accurate.
The crossroads at Westmead and Dover House Road can develop the extra observation needed to understand priority and conflicting turns. Putney Hill and Upper Richmond Road add a larger layout where an experienced learner can practise planning a right-to-right turn with an opposing vehicle.
Chartfield Avenue has mini-roundabouts that reinforce priority from the right, timely observation and clear signalling. Tibbet's Corner roundabout near the A3 then adds more lanes and earlier route planning, giving your instructor a natural progression when you are ready.
Roads around Dover House Road can support low-speed manoeuvre practice with careful all-round observation. For forward or reverse bay parking, an instructor may use the top-floor car park at ASDA Roehampton Vale when access and site rules allow.
Putney Bridge junction brings together signals, pedestrian islands, cycle space and traffic from Putney High Street, Putney Bridge Road and Lower Richmond Road. Ease off early, check several directions and make a fresh decision as queues and signals change the available space.
Test-centre context
Morden, Isleworth and Tolworth are practical test-centre options to investigate from Putney. The right choice depends on your postcode, test type and travel plans, so confirm the latest details on GOV.UK before booking or travelling.
Routes are not published, which makes calm observation and safe decisions on varied roads more valuable than trying to memorise a journey.
Morden is at 10 Tudor Drive, Morden, SM4 4PE. GOV.UK currently lists car and ADI part 3 tests at this centre. Check the address, supported test type and current facilities again before you book or travel.
Isleworth is at The Wireless Factory, Fleming Way, Isleworth, TW7 6DB and currently provides car and ADI part 3 tests. GOV.UK lists the centre as inaccessible to wheelchair users, so review the current facilities carefully before choosing it.
Tolworth test centre is at Douglas House, 1B Douglas Road, Tolworth, Surbiton, KT6 7RZ. GOV.UK lists car and ADI part 3 tests at this centre. Check the current address, supported test type and travel arrangements before booking.

Questions from local learners
Yes. Wimbledon Driving School offers both manual and automatic tuition. Manual lessons include clutch and gear work, while automatic lessons remove manual gear changes so you can put more attention into road observation and decisions. Tell the team which gearbox you prefer when you enquire.
We start by discussing any experience you already have and agreeing a suitable starting point. Complete beginners receive an introduction to driving and the basic controls. If you have driven before, the instructor can check where you are comfortable and identify the most useful next skill.
Yes. Standard lessons can be booked without committing to a large block. This lets you plan the next booking after reviewing your progress and priorities. Current prices and minimum lesson duration should always be checked on our pricing page.
The junction combines signals, crossings, cycle space and traffic from Putney High Street, Putney Bridge Road and Lower Richmond Road. Lessons can develop an early scan, controlled approach speed and the habit of reassessing the situation instead of relying on a memorised position.
Your lesson may begin at home, work, college or another agreed local meeting point within the service area. Share your postcode and preferred starting point when you contact Wimbledon Driving School, and the team will confirm the practical arrangements before your lesson.
Morden, Isleworth and Tolworth are three options to investigate. Tolworth is at Douglas House, 1B Douglas Road, KT6 7RZ. Use your own postcode and check the current GOV.UK address, test types and instructions before booking or travelling.
No. GOV.UK says driving test routes are not published. The test uses varied road and traffic conditions, and a wrong turning is not itself marked as a fault. Build the skills to observe, plan and recover safely rather than trying to memorise a supposed Putney route.
Independent driving lasts 20 to 35 minutes. You will follow a sat nav, traffic signs or a combination of both. Lessons can help you take in directions without losing attention on pedestrians, lane position, speed and the developing road situation.
Call 020 3524 7968, book online or contact Wimbledon Driving School through WhatsApp. Include your postcode, previous driving experience, preferred gearbox and likely starting point so the team has the information needed to discuss the next step.
