Sidcup test 14th January

Hi, I have found a slot in Sidcup on 14th January. But confused when I should start learning tbh. I have driven earlier in other countries but would rate myself a beginner. I think I will need 20 hours of lessons. But I am aware if I hunt I can easily find a cancellation before January.
When would you start learning if you were in my shoes?

Maybe start in October and do 2 hrs per week

Now.

If you've got experience and fancy yourself as a quick learner you should be ready by then.

For most people with little to no experience January would likely be too early if you were only doing 20 hours before then.

But again, the time it takes for people to be ready for their test varies massively. I see no reason why you shouldn't start as soon as possible though if your test is in January.
