As has been said, don’t bother with a 125 just do direct access and get a bigger bike after. Perversely a bigger bike is easier to ride than a 125.
If you’re in North or East London then try Camrider in Enfield. They use the Enfield test centre which is one of the easiest centres in London as most of the roads they use are north of Waltham cross and lack the difficulty of busy London roads.
If you do get a 125 get a cb125f, big enough to be worth practicing on and will hold its value. Lots with more owners than they are years old, this means they have been bought and used by people who got them just while they were learning so unlikely to have been mistreated.

Hello, long time listener first time caller.
I’ve never ridden a motorbike but now want to get a full licence. I think the attached means I can ride a 50cc with no cbt/L plates/licence (left side) and have been able to since 2013 (and right hand side provisional means I can ride a 50cc with L plates and have been able to since 2000?)
I think I would just do a direct accesss course, so I could ride anything, and don’t have to go back, and then buy a 125cc to ride for a while until I can ride something bigger safely.
As far as I can tell I need to do my CBT, then theory and practical tests. Presumably it’s easier/better/quicker to go on a short term intensive course? I’ll just call up somewhere local but does anyone have any good suggestions / is there a better plan to get my licence or anything I should be aware of?
Thank you in advance 🙏
Edit: PS I’m 6’6” so what 125 will I look least stupid perched on?
