Getting Private Pilot License PPL near London

hi
i want to do my PPL however i cant seem to find many places around london which do it, so can can anyone on these forums recommend some good places where i could do my PPL.

From reading the BCFT brochure i get the idea that i can complete my PPL in 5 weeks (+ 3-4 days for night rating), is this possible with any places close to london and what kind of price will i be looking at?

In the long run i want to get my PPL done and start training to get my fATPL.
another question i have is do places like OAT and CTC accept people without them doing a skills assessment if they have a PPL?

finally in another forum i found this:
'Those of you who know about the industry and flight training will be aware that I have omitted one very good UK FTO. They have the best graduate placement of any FTO. I'm not going to name them, because if you put a bit of effort into researching pilot training you should come across them. I'll point out that they do not advertise in magazines, neither do they have glossy brochures with pictures of 737s. But then again, they don't need to.'

after reading this i did some research and BCFT is the place i came up with, am i correct or is the person talking about a different place.

hope you can help

thanks
