Damn theres a ton of parks in London, was just checking out this site [LINK] and looking at the free parks. You'll be fine as a beginner, just take note on where people are skating / what obstacles are usually hit from what angles & try and stay out of the way. Here [VIDEO] is a guide to skatepark etiquette. Just be comfortable with your pushing and riding, learning ollies will help with getting onto objects / into grinds and slides but isn't required to hit a skatepark. You can have a lot of fun just riding the ramps / doing kickturns, once you are comfortable enough to get around the entire park it's a rewarding feeling.
