How about Battersea Park, alongside the river Thames? I can remember going to an Angling Show there, and seeing Nigel Forrest demonstrating the Breakaway bits and pieces, including the prototype lead lifts, by casting them into the river. If you used dog proof tennis balls for others safety, I'm sure you could at least practice OTG....
You might need a rod license, though

Is there not a school playing field near you?Contact the caretaker and see if a few quid might persuade him to let you in after school or at weekends.
