Strongly prefer groups, around Fulham/Hammersmith/Putney/Battersea/Clapham etc
Preferrably Suzuki teachers (nearest group found is in NW).

The only one I found is Putney Music, which is a group but not Suzuki.
Anyone aware of any?

Maybe a general musicianship group might work well for that age before starting piano individually in a year or two?

@HushTheNoise dc has been to a musicanship group for years and now is ready for the piano.

Suzuki teachers are surprisingly difficult to find?

I don't know anyone who teaches piano lessons to groups of four year olds. It's more usual in the UK to do individual lessons from 6/7. Even the incredible players I know at junior conservatoire winning international competitions didn't start piano at four. Maybe look at violin if it's specifically the Suzuki method as you can get smaller sizes of instruments to suit development better. Or see if there's a Suzuki teachers Facebook group who might be able to help you. I hope you find a suitable teacher for your child if they are keen, music is a gift for life!

My son started Suzuki piano aged 5. Not in London and he's an adult now, but his teacher only ever gave individual lessons,and was fully Suzuki trained and accredited. I'm not sure group piano lessons are a good idea at any age.

Yeah, probably groups is not a good idea
