Helicopter flying lesson/experience around London/Greater London

Hi all, 
I'm looking for your experiences and recommendations on any company that does Helicopter flying experiences - so experience in the driver's seat! It's to give as a gift. 
I've seen one for £375 for an hours flying experience - will it be worth the price? Your experiences please!

Just google it. Lots of companies to choose from. Of course, nobody will be able to do anything until the lockdown ends. But you can plan it in advance.

For my birthday last year (big b'day that is) my daughter bought me a commercial plane flying experience with Into the Blue. I was supposed to book and have my experience within 12 months.Then coronavirus hit and I wasn't able to book anything. Happily, they have extended the time for me - I'm really looking forward to it but wish I could have done it last year. Oh well, can't be helped. 

Into the Blue also do helicopter flying experiences, is that the one you've seen? https://www.intotheblue.co.uk/flying-experiences/helicopter-lessons/

@MalMonroe Thank you, yes I think this was the one I saw, but through a different website...the link you gave me is better - it has more options! 
It's great they've extended it, hope you are able to fly it soon!! And a commercial plane! Wow. Didn't even think that would be an option.

Oh, good, pleased to have been of assistance. Yes, I'm looking forward to being a pilot! It's only in a simulator but they say it's true to life. . . I think it's one of the ones that they train pilots in too, it's actually at an airport. . .  In a way I'm glad I haven't done it yet as I don't want it to be over. If that makes any sense!
