Learn to drive in Camberwell with Wimbledon Driving School in a manual or an automatic. When you book, tell us if you’re new to driving or have had lessons before. You can also ask about an intensive course.
Trusted by learner drivers since 2007.
Local overview
As you approach a junction, look ahead so you can judge when to slow down for your turn.
If you’re learning in a manual, practise changing gear without looking down so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Lesson choices
Start with the car you want to drive, then consider how often you’d like to have a lesson.
On-road confidence
If you spot your turn too late, carry on and ask your instructor for another route.
As you approach the junction with Denmark Hill and Camberwell Road, check your mirrors before changing position. Give way to people crossing or waiting to cross the road you’re turning into.
On Camberwell Road at Bullace Row, read the bus lane sign while you still have time to choose your lane.
Look for the School Street restriction on Grove Lane at Windsor Walk, near Lyndhurst Primary School. Check the times on the sign before entering. If the restriction applies to your car, carry on by another road.
On Albany Road and Wells Way, look towards the park entrances as well as along the road. If someone steps out from a gate, a slower approach gives you more time to stop.
Test-centre context
Bromley and Mitcham are two options for a car test. Check which centre is named on your booking before planning the journey.
Car tests take place at 121-123 Burnt Ash Lane, BROMLEY, BR1 5AB.
Mitcham car tests are temporarily based at The Hilton Hotel, 101 Waddon Way, Purley Way, Croydon, CR9 4HH. Check the current address before you travel.
Why choose Wimbledon Driving School
If you’re coming back to driving after a break, tell us what you’d like to do on your own. A goal such as making a right turn without a reminder gives you and your instructor something specific to practise.
Questions from local learners
Yes. Give us the address when you enquire. We can arrange collection from college, home, work or another agreed local meeting point within our service area, subject to availability.
Tell your instructor which parts you already manage yourself and where you still want help. You can agree where to start from there.
Look at how many minutes each price covers. The cheaper booking might simply be a shorter lesson.
On an approach to Camberwell Church Street, try saying out loud what you’re waiting for: perhaps a cyclist to pass or someone to finish crossing. Your instructor can help you spot anything you’ve missed.
Bring the date and centre from your booking confirmation, along with one or two things you’d like to practise before the test.
You can check your car driving test details on GOV.UK.
