How to choose

What skill? Power tools/drills first if you’re new; then plumbing, electrics (skills only — not a trade licence), tiling, or painting.

How long? Short session = try one skill. DIY in a Day = deeper single topic. Multi-day intensive = committed block.

Fitting DIY around London Book weekday evenings for shorter skills sessions (drills, basic plumbing, painting) and weekends for full-day or multi-day workshops. DIY venues are often outside central London — check the venue and nearest station on the class page before you book. Wear clothes you can get dusty, and confirm whether boots or PPE are required.

Where you can learn DIY in London

Frequently asked questions

I’m a complete beginner. Which DIY class in London should I start with?

If you’ve never done DIY in a workshop, start with a beginner power tools or basic drills class. Those build confidence with the tools you’ll use in almost every other session. Leave plumbing, electrics and multi-day intensives until you’ve done one short beginner class.

Do I need my own tools?

Usually no. Most London DIY workshops provide tools and materials for the session. Check the class page before you book for anything you must bring (boots, old clothes, PPE) and whether materials are included in the price.

Is a DIY electrics class the same as becoming a qualified electrician?

No. These are practical skills workshops for homeowners and beginners, how to work more safely and confidently on basic tasks. They are not a trade qualification or a licence to do regulated electrical work.

Should I book a short session, a DIY in a Day, or a multi-day intensive?

Book a short morning or evening session if you want to try one skill without a full day. Book a DIY in a Day (or similar full-day workshop) if you already know the topic and want more depth. Book a multi-day intensive only if you want a block of practice time and you’re happy with the time and cost commitment.

Can I find evening or weekend DIY classes in London?

Yes. Use the Evening and Weekend filters on this page to see classes that fit around work. What’s on changes by date, so check upcoming start times in the table.

How many DIY classes are listed on Learn.London?

Learn.London currently lists 173 DIY classes in London, including plumbing, tiling, painting, power tools and related workshops from London providers. Clear any filters to see the full list.

Which London providers offer DIY classes?

DIY classes on Learn.London currently include Builder Training Centre, The Goodlife Centre, POW Workshops, RHACC and The Tool House. Use the provider column in the table to compare location, price and schedule.

How do I use the table to find the right class?

Start with your level (usually Beginner), then narrow by skill if you know it (plumbing, tiling, painting), then by day, time, price and venue. That separates a quick tools taster from a full-day plumbing workshop or a longer intensive.
