As a current old age learner (37) I'd just like to back up what everyone's saying about cycling helping with learning. As you know everyone drives like a cunt in town and my instructor was surprised by how unfazed i was by it but when you have 800 daily near death experiences on your bike being in a car feels like a pensioners cruise by comparison.
As for the amount of time you'll need, I had about 20 hours before my test was booked and I'd never driven before in my life but my test was cancelled due to the lockdown and I'm still waiting to have it rebooked (they only started rebooking from the 15th of this month). Just bear that in mind when you're taking your lessons, you might have to wait a long time to even book your test as the backlog is apparently massive, even more pressure to pass first time!

Agree with this. I've recently just started driving in London and compared to cycling it's much more relaxing in many ways.

Cheers, dude. Any info on reputable/good value schools (in London)?
I have driven in the past which may help. But not since I was 16/17. Which is, unfortunately, a very long time ago now.
