Wycombe Air Center is widely regarded as offering the best FI(r) course around but you need to book in advance as there is usually only 2 or 3 per course and it gets booked up fast!!!

Ravenair at LPL is probably the cheapest around. The course did have an excellent reputation with CP giving the instruction. He has left now, but I would have a look into it at least...
