Just passed my test today at the age of 49 - first time - and over the moon. I had lessons in my early twenties but on moving to London, didn't need to drive and so gave up. Then, with the pandemic, it seemed like a good idea to take it up again. Of course, my lessons were interrupted by the lockdowns but we persevered.

 

I can wholeheartedly recommend my driving instructor, Nick. We started off in his car with dual controls but very quickly - because I'd had lessons years ago - we were able to have lessons in my own car. Nick is patient, and works really hard to put you at your ease. He stays calm, whatever happens, and is very re-assuring. I always felt safe when out lessons, even without the dual control.

Fresh from passing my practical driving test and I can absolutely concur that Nick of Nicholas Driving Academy is great! Having been in London for 7 years after living and driving in New York City for most of my life, having to do the whole test thing was annoying and frustrating. Nick understood that I was an experienced driver, but also knew that with experience and driving in a different country come "bad" habits and different rules. He patiently and cheerfully got me in shape to drive British-style. And I finally have my British license!!!

If anyone has got a New Year's Resolution to learn to drive, I can recommend Nicholas Driving Academy. I had lessons with Nick in between lockdowns and passed my test about a year ago - I'm an oldster, and maybe a bit lacking in confidence because of that, but I passed first time with only two minors. Nick knows how to put you at ease, he's relaxed and really focuses on the practical stuff of actually driving a car, rather than learning a lot of theory.

    • Is this a popular event? If great demand for this sort of event on such a small space then so be it. It is just with Peckham Common so very close by just wondering why this is considered a preferable venue for this kind of thing?
    • Another recommendation for Jason who is brilliant all-round. He plastered our rooms and hallways (some walls were blown and needed re-boarding), replaced two ceilings and over-boarded one. From the start he was always communicative, happy to pop by to assess first, and transparent about the various options and their associated costs. He worked thoroughly, going above and beyond to make sure every job was finished to a high standard and is very fairly priced, particularly considering the hours he puts in. We’re so pleased with the results of our flat and have already recommended him unreservedly to others. Also helps that he is just a sound guy who’s really easy to chat to!
    • Well let’s put it this way - certainly alot more alert when I am in town than I use to be . Don’t feel unsafe just a lot more cautious and aware of my surroundings.  Tend to avoid walking anywhere in town as in London or Dulwich etc when it gets dark. Personal choice and certainly more people muttering or talking to themselves than before. Witnessed road rage years ago on Ladbrook Grove in broad daylight - memory still haunts me!!   
    • Toad rage? Crikey, what have you done to upset the amphibians? How do you find the frogs? 😃
