Microlight hire
Is there anywhere in London: Denham, Elstree, Wycombe... Where I can hire a microlight from a club, I can only find equity shares and I'm not ready to invest in a plane.
I want to continue to fly PA28/172 but also rent a microlight to keep costs down and my hours up!

You might have a problem there.

Has been legal for a few years now, don't know of anywhere in the area you are interested in though, you would be better asking google.

Microlight hire in the UK is now legal (it wasn't until a few years ago). The rules are summarised in BMAA TIL32 http://www.flybyhire.co.uk/upload/BM...032%202008.pdf
However, and its a big however, very few schools/clubs actually do it because each individual aircraft has to have a dispensation from the CAA and insurance costs are very high. To be honest you'd be lucky to find one.
Also hours flown in a microlight may not count towards licence revalidation, depending on what type of licence you hold.
