Default Car rental return location with easy London, St Pancras transfer?

On a Sunday afternoon in late July my wife and I will be departing from
St. Pancras station in London via Eurostar. Prior to this we will be
using a rental car for a few days, based in Cookham, Berks. We have
not yet booked the car, but before we do so I'd like to ask the group's
advice on the best place to drop it off so that we can then easily get
to St. Pancras with as few rail/taxi/bus transfers as possible.


[the original post didnt appear here, so some attribs wrong].

You are on holiday.
You dont want to be messing around with dropping cars off at unfamiliar
places while going for a train.
I'd suggest dropping off the rental car on the Saturday in the area you
are staying.
Enterprise will deliver your car, then take you back home, or collect it
from you:

Other rental companies may do the same, I dont know, as I only use
Enterprise.

Then, on the Sunday morning, pre-book a local taxi Company to take you
to the rail station for your train. This will be around £50 - 75.
You'll be picked up at your door, then dropped off outside the rail
station.

Far less hassle for you, do you really want to try and find a drop-off
point in Central London, when you are on holiday?
