Cheers in advance for any replies,

Hi Jon,

I've been learning to drive for the last couple of months (I'm based in Lower Sydenham) and went with Lanes (http://lanesschoolofdriving.co.uk) who I think just match you with an available instructor in or near your area. I've been learning with Andy (don't actually know his surname but I can ask as I have a lesson tomorrow!) who I can't recommend enough. He's been really great and very patient which from speaking to other people isn't always the case. If you call Lanes and ask for him they'll be able to book you in if he has availability.

Thanks, I am also in the same boat, do you know if Andy is a manual or auto instructor ? is it really that hard for a manual or should I just take the easy route for auto ?

I'm learning manual but I assume he can also teach auto. I would say learn in manual, that way you're not limited to what you can drive.
