Why Manual Driving Lessons Work Well in Putney
Putney is a strong place to learn manual because it has the full range: slow clutch work on the High Street, hill starts on Putney Hill, and proper gear work at speed on the A3. Few areas give you all three within a couple of miles.
We start around Putney Heath until stalling stops being a worry, then work outwards to the High Street and eventually the dual carriageway.
Clutch control on the High Street
Slow, dense traffic with constant stopping. The best local road for making clutch work instinctive.
Hill starts on Putney Hill
A real sustained gradient with junctions on it, close to home.
Higher gears on the A3
Most manual learners never drive at the national speed limit until late. Here you can do it properly and often.

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.
| Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|
| What the licence lets you drive | Automatic 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 standard | Usually fewer, because there is no clutch or gear work to master. | Usually more, as clutch control and hill starts take practice. |
| Difficulty in heavy traffic | Easier. Stop-start traffic needs no clutch, which suits London driving. | Harder at first — stop-start traffic is where most stalls happen. |
| Choice of used cars | Growing 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-proofing | Every 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 Putney or just ask us — we teach both and we will tell you honestly which suits you.
