Learning to drive in North West London
I am currently looking for driving instructors in North West London and really don't know where to start!
I had a look at local instructors as well as the big names like BSM (Not AA bad experience with them before, plus I hate the Fords they drive!)
I am thinking shall I say shove it and go with BSM? Or spend ages looking for a local instructor. The AA instructor I had last had a very thick accent, and this caused a problem, I had to constantly ask her to say things again, so don't want this problem again! Most of the local instructors I've spoken to on the phone have thick accents that's hard to understand (I'm not prejudice just want someone with an accent I can understand!)
I have £430 saved towards lessons so far. So once I find an instructor I like I can bulk book and save money. BSM seem quite expensive, but they have discounts for bulk booking.
Can someone help at all? Does anyone know of any good instructors?

also just asked the company about the lessons. they said:
* first 3 lessons are 2hrs
* 4 lessons are used for week of test to save on paying for car for the test etc so you only pay for the test
* and the lessons in between are at a hourly rate
so basically you ge 7 lessons and the other 3 lessons out of ten there is supposed to be you have to pay for them which is £23ph0
