Matthew Jennings suggests Toastmasters can help build confidence in public speaking.

If it is just you as an individual looking for help, have you tried Toastmasters? It is an international not for profit organsiation aimed at helping people build confidence in public speaking. There will be a group near you - just type Toastmasters London into google and have a look. They are a friendly, supportive and skilled bunch. If you are looking for training for a group then I recommend you find out as much about the trainer's experience in presentations as you can. Depending on the industry, expectations of what constitutes a 'good' presentation varies wildly. For example a presentation to pitch for a new business account would be different to a presentation of an academic paper. Try and get the right trainer for your needs. Good luck
