I'm based at Elstree which doesn't have any instrument approaches or departures, so how would I get back there in lowish cloud? I have been told that you can use a nearby airfield's approach procedures to break cloud, and then fly under the cloud back to Elstree (assuming it's safe of course).

But how does this work in the real world, i.e. what nearby airport would you use, and how would they charge you if you're not actually landing?
Do an ILS at Luton or a PAR at Northolt and then low level transit.
