I am moving to London shortly and would like to continue my ASL course and eventually become and interpretor. Britsh Sign Langauge is different. Any suggestions?

This question is way too specialised for Yahoo! Answers.
My suggestion is that you contact deaf organisations in the UK, who may know of ASL tuition in London. Even though speakers of different sign languages can just about muddle through, it could be a useful skill for a BSL speaker to be able to communicate in ASL, in order to interpret for other BSL speakers, if and when necessary. The website of the Royal Association for Deaf people has a listing of other useful UK organisations to contact.

It's the sign language used in Britain... "American Sign Language" is exclusive to the US, and is often confused with the "sign language" used around the world.
