Yeah, I'm doing it in Hendon, I live East but did my lessons in North London because I was working for a company in Kentish Town, It's bit of a ball ache now though as I have to cycle to Angel from Forest Gate for a lesson so a 1 hour lesson takes about 3 out of my day.
I wouldn't be too concerned about taking the test in London as it'll be the only driving you know, plus you practice the test route so it's not like you're going into the test blind. I did get the choice between Hendon or Wood Green though and I chose Hendon because Wood green apparently has the highest failure rate in the country.
My instructor is just a one woman band that only covers North London, I'm not sure how good she is (I've never had any other instructors) and there's thing's I'm sure she didn't explain very well but I just googled videos of anything I was struggling with which seemed to sort me out the following lesson. If I was to do it again I'd probably just do my lessons with one of the big schools like Red.
Thanks, man! I didn't think about the test backlog...
Are you doing it in London? Who did you use? I've heard it can be easier to get tests outside of London (and the tests are often easier, but I'm not too worried about that specifically).
