Frequently Asked Questions — Harrow Driving Lessons

Are the hills in Harrow a problem for learner drivers?

They are an advantage. The slopes around Harrow-on-the-Hill give you more genuine hill-start practice than almost anywhere in North-West London, so by test day the hill start the examiner asks for is routine rather than frightening.

Which test centre do Harrow learners use?

The Harrow (Pinner Road) test centre. Its routes run along Station Road, Pinner Road and Headstone Lane — roads you will have driven dozens of times in lessons with us.

I am nervous about Harrow town centre traffic. How do lessons start?

Your first lessons run on the quieter streets of South Harrow and Rayners Lane. The town centre, with its bus lanes and pedestrian crossings, only comes once the basics are automatic.

How much do driving lessons in Harrow cost, and where do they start?

From £40 per hour, with packages at 5 hours for £195, 10 for £380 and 20 for £740. We collect you free from Harrow-on-the-Hill or Harrow & Wealdstone station, or from your home.
