Best Tri Club in London?

Bound to be an emotive one...
I'm a member of TFN in Nottingham (an excellent club), but am in the process of relocating to London and as the nights start to get lighter I'll need some encouragement out of tri-hibernation.
So where should I start my quest for some new training buddies? Key would be:
Friendliness/approachability
Decent coaching at all levels (ie not just the elite)
Plenty of stuff going on (swim sessions, track sessions, rides, maybe MTB or AR outings, etc...)
Cheers all!

Just voted tri club of 2010 ( the BCTTT kindly pulled out of the running as we didn't want to upset anyone)

( sorry I had too)
no they do seem pretty good - their sprint race series is very good - great coaching from what I've heard .
I had a look at BCTTT website. I'm a little nonplussed!
What are you looking for ?
I may well go back to basics and join one of the rookie days though.
You're welcome to join me for swim sessions, but I'm quite slow and my technique isn't that good (ask hussler) - it's getting better though. Also, we'll post on here from now on when there is going to be a weekend group ride. Sometimes this is only 2/3 of us, but we had a ride of the windsor tri course a few weeks ago with about 9 people.
I think I need the discipline of regular sessions to get my arse in gear and do the training, so whilst I'll certainly investigate BCTTT further for some ad-hoc stuff, are there any current members of the above lot who can give their thoughts?
I've seen the team colours at the Club Relays, but that's as far as it goes!
Oh, and what about Serpentine? They are pretty central. Any thoughts on them?

All of these should be a bit more accessible for North London.
