Not the easiest of stations to find but then neither is Chorleywood.

It's pretty obvious if you come in over the common.

coming from central London? I'm thinking Uxbridge, but maybe there's
a better one?

Hillingdon or West Ruislip if they are using the tube. Both stations
have car parks and are 5 mins (in non-rush hour) traffic from the
M25. I'd say West Ruislip is better if they are using the tube - the
central line is quicker usually.

West Ruislip has better parking that Hillingdon.

I've never measured the capacity, but they both have fairly large car parks.

Eh? Come off the A40 at the Hillingdon turn and turn left / right depending
on whether you are coming in or out of London. Drive straight for about a
mile and a half. It's there on the main road.

Roland Perry gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

I leave the M25 at Chorleywood and I am glad that I don't join the
motorway here in the morning. The queues are often back to the Sarrat
turn.

What are the queues like at J17, which is where the OP would have been
exiting?

Non-existant, for Chorleywood, but it's a bit back-lane.
It can be a bit slow heading towards Ricky, though.

....or follow the sign off the main road...

Thanks; that's the way I was recommending the OP went, so glad there
isn't a hidden gotcha.
