With everyday life being as stressful as it is and the roads getting busier, now is a fantastic time to be driving an automatic car.
You maybe a complete beginner, or someone who has taken manual driving lessons and found it was not for you. No matter your level, we can cater for you, and promise you a fantastic learning experience.
How many of your friends have told you about stalling, and how they hated it? In an automatic car you cannot stall, since there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
Piece of cake in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, forget about constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. Another benefit – No rolling backwards!
{location} has its share of busy roads, junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights and built-up areas, where you ‘ll be in traffic quite often during your driving lessons, especially in rush hour. In an automatic car its simple, we cannot make the traffic disappear, but you can control the car easier, less pollution, and easy on the feet and legs, as no constant clutch control.
At Lendrums we understand how tight money can be for students, so we offer reduced rates on lessons and block bookings, to take some of the financial pressure off, and we are among the few driving schools covering Stamshaw who offer driving lesson discounts.

Many of our pupils find that working through the online training alongside their lessons helps the two sides of learning to drive come together, since the rules you’re learning on paper are the same ones you’re applying behind the wheel.
If you’re studying at college or university, we can collect you during study breaks, returning you to your studies or to home after your lesson, plus we can pick you up from home and drop you at college or university, once you have a bit of experience on busier roads.

Stamshaw, a vibrant residential area in Portsmouth, offers learner drivers a unique blend of challenges and opportunities to build confidence behind the wheel. With its mix of quiet residential streets and busy arterial roads, this coastal suburb provides an ideal environment for new drivers to develop essential skills before tackling more complex driving scenarios across the city.
One of the key benefits of learning to drive in Stamshaw is the exposure to varied road conditions. Learners will encounter several roundabouts in the surrounding area, including those near the M275 approach, which are excellent for practising give-way rules and lane discipline. Additionally, the busy Twyford Avenue and nearby routes leading towards Portsmouth city centre offer valuable experience in managing traffic flow, junctions, and pedestrian crossings. Consequently, new drivers gain practical exposure to real-world driving situations that will serve them well beyond their test.
Once qualified, newly licensed drivers can enjoy exploring Portsmouth’s rich offerings. The historic Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, home to HMS Victory, is just a short drive away, while the Spinnaker Tower provides stunning views across the Solent. Furthermore, Southsea’s seafront and its array of attractions make for an excellent driving destination.
Portsmouth’s nightlife scene, particularly in Gunwharf Quays and Southsea, offers new drivers plenty of incentive to practise their skills. From restaurants to entertainment venues, having a licence opens up convenient access to the city’s vibrant social scene.
Ultimately, Stamshaw provides an excellent foundation for learner drivers, combining practical road experience with proximity to Portsmouth’s best attractions, making the learning journey both educational and rewarding.
Everyone learns at a different pace, but on average it takes around 40-45 hours of lessons, combined with plenty of practice, to be ready for your test.
