hey, captin slow, im just finishing my a levels, i worked as a messenger during last summer holidays for about a month. it was the best job iv ever had, but the pay was shit and the days were long. it also had somthing to do with the good weather and not having a single rainy day. i learnt my around london in the first week or two, but i have always ridden around london so already knew some of it anyway. the company was shit and ripped me off every week, but they did hire me the day after i called them so i cant complain too much, it was excel messengers. but you might want to find one a little more central because it is a bit of a trek to their office in canary wharf.
so basically if you can live on no money and like ridding a bike all day every day then its a good job for a while.
