Advice on flying schools at Elstree

Hi,


I'm looking into flying schools at Elstree Aerodrome, to train up for my PPL and as a newbie would really appreciate some opinions/advice about flying schools in Elstree (particularly the ones below).

Am considering two schools:

Flight Training London (www.flighttraininglondon.co.uk) which charge £169/hr for C152, and

Flyers Flight School (www.flyersflyingschool.co.uk) which charge £205/hr for the same aircraft C152.

My intention is to get my PPL and then hire a plane occasionally for trips round the UK and the Continent. So am looking for a school which is friendly, has a good social vibe, is staffed by honest experienced personnel, and support its students post-PPL (in organising trips etc).

Am not sure why Flyers Flight School charge more than others for training?

I could really do with some advice on this (particularly from anyone who has flown/trained at Elstree).
