That's a great idea! I don't know why i hadn't thought to do that..? I went out the other day to Spitalfields and back, it should have only been about 7 miles but instead it was 22..... I went wrong a lot but that was part of the enjoyment, i loved getting to now my surroundings and having to navigate from A-B!
@inappropriate_bike - Thats a really good shout, thank you! It did concern me the absence of hills in London seeing as thats what i consider to be one of my strengths and what I most enjoy, so I'll definitely try out Forest Hill!Thank you again to everyone, your help is very much appreciated!

As far as I'm aware there supposed to be an instructor but not really any talks or sign of one as of yet? but that might have something to do with the fact its currently the 'off season' but i'll definitely try and find out more on the topic and see whats what as it would be a handy asset to have seeing as I have my sights set on racing next summer.

As said, the way to get your bearings is to just ride/wander round. And don't use the tube. I never had a map or a fancy phone, just looked at maps on bus shelters and boris bike stands when I got lost (a lot). Assume all vehicles are trying to kill you

You can normally do cycle training via goldsmiths. But if not via the uni, you can do it either in the borough you live or study. Or both even. Ask your instructor to help you plan you route from home-school. It takes some time to get used to London and get to know the ways from a to b. Took me about two years. Good luck.
