Great Experience with Ripon. I highly recommend Ripon as a driving instructor. I had an amazing experience with him from the first introduction session to the test day. Ripon defined a clear path and plan till the test which I passed from the first time. He is very organized, tidy, calm and patient. Finally, Ripon teaches valuable instructions and tricks, but also gives the confidence to drive safely.
Driver lesson. I take driving lessons from them, and they are very professional and friendly. My trainer, Faisal Bhai, is especially kind and patient. He explains everything clearly and makes learning to drive a great experience. Highly recommended!
I did some refreshment lessons since I was used to drive outside UK (on the right side of the road). My monitor was Shahel for few hours: he was super nice with me, very listening and giving the right advices when needed or when I was asking questions. The pricing per hour is reflecting the current market as well. I really recommend this driving school!

We are specialists in East London and the surrounding regions. Our primary service areas include Docklands (E14), Hornchurch (RM12), Tower Hamlets, and the wider East London area. We ensure all our instructors are local experts who know the test routes and common traffic challenges in these areas like the back of their hands.
2. What is your first-time practical driving test pass rate?
We are proud of our high standards and exceptional results! Our current first-time practical pass rate is consistently over 50%, which comfortably exceeds the national average (typically around 48.5%). We attribute this success to our focus on using only fully DVSA-Approved (ADI) instructors and delivering highly practical, tailored lessons.
3. How much do driving lessons cost?
Our lesson prices are competitive and designed to be affordable. Standard lessons start from £37.50 per hour, and we offer block booking discounts that reduce the hourly rate significantly for both manual and automatic tuition. You can view all our current pricing and package deals on the ‘Lesson Prices’ page.
4. Do you offer automatic driving lessons and intensive courses?
Yes, we offer both manual and automatic driving lessons with highly qualified instructors. We also specialise in Intensive Driving Courses (available in 10, 20, 30, and 45-hour packages) for learners who want to pass quickly. If you are unsure where to start, we recommend an initial 2-hour assessment session to find the perfect course for you.
5. Are your instructors fully qualified?
Absolutely. At Eastend Driving School, we only use Fully Qualified Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs), which means they have passed all three parts of the DVSA’s qualifying examinations.
