Most likely too far but i regularly did mine with Off The Kerb in White City. Great team.
Have you considered doing full test? I did mine a few years ago to avoid the regular CBT renewal. it is a bit of a time/money commitment but then you are done for good- so worth considering if you are using bike long term. For me it gave me a lot more confidence riding and i get to have a bigger bike which is generally safer (more power to get out of nasty situations) and louder.
DVLA is looking at various changes to CBT which mean that it is going to be a tougher test including theory and more practical skills (designed to give the delivery guys more survival skills...) which eventually make it closer to the full test.
The full test has a theory element (pretty easy, the centre is/was in London Bridge and it takes half an hour, the hazard avoidance test is like the worst 90's computer simulation game ever and is not hard). The practical consists of a test in a car park which is basic skills not unlike a bigger CBT- slalom, emergency stop etc. Super easy. Then a road bit which is about 30 mins and reasonably straight forward. Confession- i was the only person in the tester's history to get 3 marks for going too slow... not a normal biker trait apparently... but still passed. Like i say, bit of a commitment but if you can do it, i would recommend. as
