People are suggesting RADA, but that is not a school for beginners. However, if you got in touch with them perhaps they could suggest where you should look.
Actors almost invariably start (very) young, because acting is a skill that needs to be engrained very deeply if you are to reach the top. That's why you see clips on TV of famous actors working as children in commercial advertisements for breakfast cereal or whatever. I believe there are secondary schools in London that specialise in acting, but I don't know the details. They are very hard work and take over your childhood. If you are a child, do you really really want to be an actor and will your parents support you?
If you are an adult, or a student, I suspect you would do best to join an amateur dramatics club in your area of London and learn as you go. There is no point in looking for specialist teaching because you are too late. If you are already doing well in amateur dramatics, you might look to train as a change of career, but then you are not a beginner. I am sorry about this advice, particularly as I am very concerned about the prevalence of age discrimination, but that is as I see it.

RADA, Central School of Speech and Drama, LAMDA or Guildhall. Middlesex University have excellent Performing Arts Degrees and a good reputation too, but what you need to remember as a beginner is that these schools are fairly prestigious and there is a lot of competition for places on these courses. Of course you would have to audition too. But just because you are a beginner doesn't mean it isn't worth a try. Good luck!

R.A.D.A. The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. Good luck getting in. Only something like 2% of all applicants get in. If you're learning from scratch the read around the subject 1st. At the end of the day no amount of coaching will help if you're not a natural. You've either got it or you haven't.
