My choice would be based on distance from London (using public transport), cost of flying and social atmosphere in the club.
The West London Aero Club is a long established club (50+ years) with a good reputation and a friendly social atmosphere.
Probably the best clubhouse in the country.

Grass airfield (I believe the biggest in the UK) with 3 runways.
No home landing fees. *

Frequent trains from London to Maidenhead - journey time about 35 mins.
I think there may be buses to the airfield but it's just a short taxi ride - about 3 miles.

I have trained in PA28-161 so maybe get rated for PA28-181 or possibly to an Archer.
They have all three.

I'm not a member but I've been there many times over the years as a guest and have always been impressed and enjoyed the experience.


* Watch out for that when comparing prices.
And also whether the prices quoted include VAT.
