So I did end up going to the London School of Puppetry. So if anyone wants to know more about the school, feel free to send me a message. Also here is a facebook page I started for the school: http://www.facebook.com/LondonSchoolOfPuppetry and a youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/LndSchoolofPuppetry if you you want to see recent photos, videos and news about the school.

Just thought I'd post this: the official group for the LSP.

Thanks for posting those links, I'll have to take a look when I have more time. I've always secretly wanted to go there and I'm curious to know what it was like for you.
