Great to ride with friends for this but also don't rule out any cycle training if you do get a response back from anyone.
I've been cycling on roads since doing cycling proficiency at school when I was 8 (in the 80's), and at least the last fifteen years every day in a busy city. I recently had the chance to take an "urban skills" cycling lesson in Bristol. I wasn;'t really sure I needed to do a lesson but it was a lesson designed for experienced riders, just working on skills and methods for dealing with traffic around you. Although I thought I was very experienced riding in traffic it really helped give me extra confidence and fine tuned what I was already doing. I've had more cars give me room and even give way to me since doing the training.
Not sure what is available to you in London but there should be something.
May be able to find something through the following link? ..
