Why Automatic Driving Lessons Work Well in Putney

Putney High Street is stop-start for most of the day and Putney Hill is a sustained climb, which between them cover the two situations where a clutch causes learners the most grief. An automatic removes both.

It also makes joining the A3 considerably easier, because accelerating up to seventy while checking a blind spot is simpler when you are not working through the gears at the same time.

High Street bus traffic

Narrow, busy and constantly stopping. Automatic keeps your attention on road position rather than the clutch.

Joining the A3 at speed

Slip road acceleration and a blind spot check at the same time is much more manageable without gear changes.

Putney Hill without hill starts

The climb towards the Heath stops being a difficulty at all.

Putney Roads & Pickup Points for Automatic Driving Lessons

Lessons are planned around real Putney roads, starting wherever suits you.

The A3 at Putney Vale

Genuine dual carriageway at the national speed limit, with slip roads and lane changes at speed. Very few of our areas have this so close, and it is the reason Putney learners are usually comfortable at higher speeds.

Upper Richmond Road (A205)

The South Circular running east to west, with heavy traffic and a sequence of signalled junctions. Steady, sustained driving that builds concentration over distance.

Popular pickup points in Putney

  • Putney railway station
  • East Putney Underground station
  • Putney Bridge Underground station (Fulham side)
  • Putney High Street and the Exchange
  • Putney Heath
  • Putney Pier and the Embankment

Automatic or Manual? Choosing in Putney

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 manual lessons in Putney or just ask us — we teach both and we will tell you honestly which suits you.

Automatic Driving Lessons in Putney - FAQs

Common questions about driving lessons in Putney

Putney Bridge and the approach is a good example. A river crossing leading into a busy junction on the Fulham side. Lane discipline has to be decided before the bridge, not on it, and the exits arrive quickly. Good preparation for any multi-lane junction on a test route. Lessons here also use Putney High Street and The A3 at Putney Vale.
Usually Tolworth Driving Test Centre (1b Douglas Road, Tolworth, Surrey KT6 7RZ), 6 miles away and about 20 minutes straight down the A3. The natural centre from Putney, and an easy run on test day. Routes feature dual carriageway work, which suits learners who have spent time on the A3 already. If it is booked out, Morden Driving Test Centre is 6 miles away: faster suburban roads and several large roundabouts. A good alternative when Tolworth is booked out.
Automatic driving lessons in Putney are £72 for a 2-hour lesson (£36 per hour), the same price as manual. A 10-hour block is £358 (£35.80 per hour) and can be used any day at any time.
Yes, automatic is generally easier because you don't need to worry about clutch control or gear changes. This is especially helpful when learning in busy areas like Putney, allowing you to focus on road awareness and hazard perception.
Yes, you can take your test in an automatic at Tolworth Test Centre. However, passing in an automatic means you'll only be licensed to drive automatic vehicles.
Most learners need 30-40 hours. Automatic learners often progress faster - some pass with 25-30 hours. It depends on your natural ability and how quickly you learn the Putney test routes.
