Yes Denham is a nice airfield and you can walk there from the train station.
Cabair is one of the largest groups of flying schools in the London area -

Their website will give you some information about the locations of tha various schools. Not cheap though, but nothing in the SE of England is :yuk:

The Pilot Centre at Denham is a lovely club with some well-loved aircraft and I expect they're a bit cheaper than Cabair.

I would go for The Pilot Centre (http://www.egld.com/tpc) at Denham every time.

Hi ya,
You can try Firecrest in Elstree. I nice friendly club and relatively good prices for London!!! It has a club atmosphere and not just a training establishment.
Cheers.

London is a big ole place so find out where your mate will be living and take it from there. No use crawling through traffic from east London to north west London just to have a lesson cancelled due to poor wx etc...!
I had one student who used to do precisely this and it was highly problematic and difficult to plan lessons around due to inevitable traffic disruption. On a 'dodgy wx day' it was ridiculously unworkable because by the time the student had arrived (2 hours after calling for wx report) it was raining again! Obviously, the student had to blame someone for this and you guessed it - it was us! :rolleyes:
VFE.
