Why Manual Driving Lessons Work Well in Nine Elms

Nine Elms is a comfortable place to learn manual, because the new roads give you room and visibility while you are still thinking about the clutch. Stalling on a wide, well-marked road with a clear view behind is far less stressful than doing it on a narrow Victorian street.

Queenstown Road and the bridge approach then supply the harder clutch work when you are ready for it.

Room to make mistakes

Wide modern roads and good sightlines make the early stalling phase much less stressful.

Clutch work on the bridge approach

Queenstown Road queues give genuine slow-traffic practice when you are ready.

No licence restriction

One test and you can drive anything, including work vehicles.

Automatic or Manual? Choosing in Nine Elms

It is the first decision to make, and it is worth a minute of thought — the licence you end up with is different in each case.

AutomaticManual
What the licence lets you driveAutomatic cars only. You would need to retake a test to drive a manual.Both manual and automatic cars — a full, unrestricted licence.
Typical hours to test standardUsually fewer, because there is no clutch or gear work to master.Usually more, as clutch control and hill starts take practice.
Difficulty in heavy trafficEasier. Stop-start traffic needs no clutch, which suits London driving.Harder at first — stop-start traffic is where most stalls happen.
Choice of used carsGrowing quickly, though still smaller at the cheapest end of the market.Widest choice, especially for a first car under a couple of thousand pounds.
Future-proofingEvery electric and hybrid car is automatic, so the licence ages well.Covers everything on the road today, including automatics.

Still unsure? Read about automatic lessons in Nine Elms or just ask us — we teach both and we will tell you honestly which suits you.
