I went round a similar system first thing on Tuesday morning, the Plough roundabout in Hemel Hempstead:

Driving through was surprisingly easy (not to mention efficient), especially given how chaotic morning rush-hour driving can be.

When I was learning to drive (in Hemel Hempstead), I found it easier to get around the magic roundabout if you just thought about it as a road that happened to be a small circle with a few mini-roundabouts on it. Even when it's busy, I've found it quite straightforward to get around, mainly because you rarely have to wait long at a mini-roundabout (if the car to your left is turning right, you can start going since the car on the right is blocked).
