If you wanted to take a slightly different (cheaper) route then you could investigate learning on a TMG and then converting to SEP.
The folks at Oxfordshire Sport Flying could help with that route - Enstone in just within 2 hours of London:
Or for a different type of flying (which will stand you in good stead for anything you want to go onto) try:
OC619
Thank you for your info! I will check those flying schools out. I prefer to do a PPL rather than TMG then convert it. It’s very informative. Nice to know there’s other route to get PPL.

Also used EFG, but did most of my flying at Surrey & Kent at Biggin (now taken over by EFG)
Been flying at North Weald Flying School since July last year and I've found them really helpful and professional.
The airfield is massive with a 5000ft runway and good facilities.
Would recommend them to anyone looking to learn.
Thanks for your info!
I just want to do PPL for now.
EFG - I read a bit more and noted a piece of news dated mar 2018 on bbc that biggin hill airport would not renew the lease if it’s on site flight schools. May I ask when you flew there? How’s experience in biggin hill?
I have been to north weald many times it’s nice to watch heli taking off. Have you completed your PPL with north weald? How many hours did you take?
thank you!
