Depends a bit on your definition of 'city center' It's a big place, you know!
If anywhere West End or City, then Denham is probably your best bet. Taxi to the train or tube (yes really - it's quicker that way), or if you have to arrive 'in style' (but probably late) then about 70-100 quid in a cab.

Damyns Hall might be a squeeze, but lightly loaded possible. It's got both a tube line and a DLR if they're getting in to town on the cheap. And it's a real friendly little field.
Elstree, Denham, as mentioned, also close.

Denham. Easy in a PA34.
Taxy to Denham Green in 5 minutes, about £6. Chiltern Line into Maryleborne in 30 minutes.

I have taken a Seneca into London many times and would also recommend Denham.
You can walk it to Denham station at a push and catch the Chiltern railway into Marlybone.
Just check the train times as its a bind if you miss a train and have to wait for the next.
Elstree isnt too bad but further to the station with a slightly longer train ride.
Southend will get you into Liverpool street but the best part of an hour.
Biggin Hill is okay ish but expect an expensive taxi ride £15-£20 to Brom;ley South station for a link into the centre.

why not City airport?! they will take a PA34. may be a bit pricy in terms of a landing fee but by the sounds of it you dont need to worry about that.
great transport links into london which from the air looks like a 5 min walk!

Thanks again amigo's. Nah price is an issue to a degree but its the hoops to be jumped through for city airport that make it unappealling .
Ill offer the transport routes to them and let them make their minds up
thanks again

Denham Green doesn't exist..
By road Denham Station is also closer to the tower is it not?
