Having bought a jump ticket, waited a long time, then manifested, I was rather surprised when they kicked me off the plane because they needed another slot for a tandem
Mid week isn't much better, since they'll do perhaps 2 loads in the day - so your waiting all the time.
If your doing a tandem do it somewhere where the people are passionate about the sport. Your learn far more, esp if you wish to continue.
The is obviously a comercial outfit, where the poeple running it are only interested in money and not in the sport of skydiving.
And why is it called North London Parachute Centre; its nowhere near London - its next to CAMBRIDGE (so 90 mins away). Try Nether's instead, its actually nearer to London if your coming from there.!!
