Learning to drive with BSM in London
Manual or automatic?
Finding it difficult to choose between a Manual or Automatic car? Truth is, in London, an Automatic car might make more sense, there’s a lot of traffic and a lot of stopping and starting. Thankfully, our fleet includes both manual and automatic cars, meaning the choice is always yours when you learn to drive with us.
• Can’t decide which to pick? Choose manual, you can drive both automatic and manual cars after your test
Beginner or pro?
Over the years we have seen it all at BSM. From those who have never sat behind the wheel of a car before to students who have already had 50 hours of lessons. Whether you need a full-on introduction to how a car (and the road) works or just have a few areas that need tweaking before the big test, all our lessons are structured around you and you alone. Our experience enables your success.
• Starting from scratch? First-time lessons from BSM are designed to give you a complete rundown of all things driving, from indicators to license plates

Test locations near London
London’s driving centres are unique because of the sheer size of the city and its greater area. Each borough has its own set of routes, although most driving tests follow the same challenges and skills needed when navigating a city the size of London.
There are busy residential roads, traffic jams, tight parking manoeuvres and plenty of buses and bicycles. London presents many challenges to the learner driver but you’re in good hands with BSM.
Here at BSM, we teach thousands of people how to drive across the city every year - you can trust our instructors to get you over the line with all the confidence and experience you need to ace your test the first time around.
