Question UK PPL Lessons- how much do you pay?

Just wondered if the cost of my PPL lessons is in line with others. I currently fly from a busy airport on the south coast. If I purchase 4 lessons in advance this works out at £143 per hour. I am currently doing circuit training so during my hour's lesson of 'touch and go' I can expect to have to Orbit for at least 5mins and possibly have to land and wait to avoid vortex from departing aircraft- with my meter counting down at £2.38 per minute!

Flying from a busy airport does get your RT up to speed from a fairly early stage and there is a nice long runway, but I am now wondering whether the mechanics of circuit training would be more efficiently undertaken at a quieter and less expensive field.

Any suggestions?
