Brighton Marina Yacht Club is a great place to start racing. As another poster said they do a course called "Club Class" where you get training and experience on a variety of different boats (and skippers!!!) over several weeks. If you turn up there on any Sunday by about 9.00am when it's not forecast F8 you're sure to find a boat wanting crew. Good social side too after the racing. Depending on where you live in London it's probably much quicker to get there than the Solent, though not such a pretty area to sail in of course but with the upside of much less traffic!
