Charoun was my instructor and he is absolutely amazing and I never would’ve passed my test first time without him! He explains things very simply in a way that sticks and makes the lessons a lot less stressful for a new learner. He also has a really calm and safe vibe that really helped me build confidence and pick up driving quickly - also the ideal person to be sitting next to while I was confronting my fear of the fast dual carriageway ha! On top of that it was actually such a joy to spend an hour or two with Charoun every week for several months - he is so friendly and we got on really well. As I got more confident and was able to drive with less step by step instruction, we spent most of the lessons chatting and laughing! I have had 3 different instructors in this journey of learning to drive (for various reasons) and without doubt Charoun is my favourite, as both an instructor and a person. I would highly recommend, and have ALREADY been recommending him, as an instructor to anyone who wants to learn how to drive. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Charoun! :DPosted on Google![]()

Charoun (Aron) was an amazing instructor and he was able to get me through passing my test first time under 6 weeks!! I highly recommend the driving school and in particular, Aron! He’s been in the game for 22 years and he knows almost every test Center. He is very professional and to the point in every topic that the DVSA is expecting from all ADI’s to be taught. I wish him and you success!!Posted on Google![]()

I passed my driving test first time with only 4 minors, thanks to Syed's excellent teaching! He was patient, clear, and always explained things in a way that made sense, whether it was manoeuvres, hazard awareness, or just building my confidence behind the wheel. He knew exactly what areas I needed to work on and helped me feel calm and prepared for test day. I'd highly recommend Syed to anyone learning to drive, a brilliant instructor who really sets you up for success!Posted on Google![]()

I am super happy to say I passed my driving test today first time! 🎉 Could not have done this without the brilliant Harish! Since starting lessons early this year, he has been incredibly patient and kind with me, his lessons have been very informative and clear, allowing me to feel confident especially as a nervous first time learner. Thank you very much!Posted on Google![]()

I passed my test first time all thanks to Gary and Mo. They are the two best driving instructors at Herne Hill, I 100% recommend them. They’re both very supportive and patient and if you go with either one of them you’re guaranteed to pass. Mo and Gary will give you honest and constructive feedback and make sure you’re improving every lesson. Thank you again for helping me pass, I couldn’t of done it without you two.Posted on Google![]()

Couldn’t recommend Herne Hill Driving School enough. Rehaan was always patient, calm and supportive throughout my lessons and really helped build my confidence as a driver. He explained things clearly, gave me honest feedback and made sure I was properly prepared for my test. I passed first time and genuinely couldn’t have done it without his help. Thank you for everything!Posted on Google![]()

Honestly cannot recommend Mo enough — hands down the best instructor in South. passed my test first time with only 2 minors thanks to Mo. His patience is unreal, his teaching is next level, and he always broke things down in a way that actually made sense. Never felt rushed, always felt supported, and by test day I genuinely felt ready.
Choosing a driving school is an important decision. Learners want an instructor who can explain things clearly, build confidence and adapt lessons to their individual needs.
At Herne Hill Driving School, we provide manual and automatic driving lessons across South London. Our instructors work with complete beginners, nervous learners, experienced drivers who need a refresher and pupils preparing for their practical driving test.
Most importantly, we focus on developing safe and confident driving skills rather than simply preparing learners to pass a test. As your experience grows, lessons can become more focused on independent driving, road awareness, manoeuvres and real-world driving situations.
For this reason, our customer reviews are a useful way to hear directly from people who have experienced our lessons and instructors.
