PPL Self Hire London

Hi All

I recently achieved my PPL however my 'home' air field is grass and almost always non flyable when wet and not long enough to go 3up in a pa28-160 let alone 4.(nope not tried yanking 2stage of flap to leap over a hedge thank you ).

So I am looking for somewhere new.
I am central London based and happy for a 40mile drive radius to new airfield.

Interested in
Cessna 152 <=120p/h Wet
PA28 161-180 <=140p/h Wet

Those are the current rates I pay, on the hobbs though, think its worse than brakes on brakes off?

also have a quarterly membership of £90. No landing fee.

Anyone able to recommend a club with similar or cheaper rates with a hard runway? oh within 40 miles to central Lon.

Probably quite hard but someone might know?

Thanks
