I done exactly the same, C152 to a modern 3 Axis Microlight as i only wanted recreational flying. London Airsports are good and have been around along time, plus there are other NPPL training clubs around. I trained near Harlow/Stanstead.
Agree 25 hrs is not that realistic, i believe this allows you to have a restricted license, i think you can only fly 8 nautical miles, you then need to get your un restricted license which includes 2 solo navigation flights, all good fun and your learning all the time. Once thats obtained you are free to fly.
The only issue, if you call it that, is there are not many 3 Axis Microlights to hire, although this is getting better with more clubs offering this option, i ended up buying into a syndicate, theres only 3 of us and it works really well, plus its cheap flying £20.00 an hour WET.
