That's exactly what I was looking for. The closer track to London(apart Silverstone, too expensive) and a mini track in London...:) I checked the Rainsford rd roundabouts and the connected surrounding with google view and it seems great... also very easy to reach from where I live. And not leaves, dead animals and a good lateral view too!!
I will report back, thank you. I first need to heal the tendons... So far I rode randomly outside London and making the missus get not too frustrated, scared etc about the whole... I worked mainly on the softness of the machine control... which it's still important and sometime not so easy.
Can't wait...

Smoothness is good. Try staying a gear higher and just roll off the throttle, very gentle on the brakes. Keep the ball of your inside foot on the peg when turning and well away from the rear brake. You really don't need bother with the rear brake at all - it's just a distraction in the dry. Have fun!

Marco - you need to find yourself a couple of nice quiet roundabouts. Well surfaced, grippy, predictable. Amongst other spots - Rainsford Rd between Cumberland Ave and Coronation Rd used to be excellent. Two different sized roundabouts, linked by a nice sweeping turn. It's in the middle of an industrial park in Park Royal and very quiet and well lit in the evenings. Police used to pretty much ignore it.
Lydden Hill is a fun little track - might as well do Brands Indy though, even closer and lot more spectacular. Paddock hill is one of the best corners in the UK.
