My advice would be to go and try them out - one each weekend and you will soon find the one that's right for you 
It's really hard to tell from websites and even forums, imho.

I was a member of the the Twickenham CC for a year. They are a very nice and welcoming bunch of people (as no doubt are the Wheelers) and (unless its changed) do a varying club run on Sundays, The same ride every week on Sats (Fairoaks airport and back) and a fast Tuesday evening run of about 20 miles so there's plenty of opportunities to ride with them.
Coaching was good but I found them very race orientated - which wasn't what I was looking for as I'm mainly interesting in distance and audax riding - so I left and joined the Willesden

Send a msg via http://www.willesdencyclingclub.co.uk/ if you want to talk to someone who rides the club run. There's usually a fast group and a sociable group.

looks good, and not far for me to cycle down there - anyone else up for a ride with them on a Sunday?

It looks good, its about a 12 mile ride from mine to the start so not to far.
I cant make this Sunday because im doing a Skyride from Hillingdon.

Just got in from the skyride, it wasnt bad and the people were ok, apart from 3 or 4 who were pretty cool and liked bombing up hills and breaking away from the others, the only negative was the 14mph average speed and constantly stopping for slower riders.

As a current member of Twickenham CC I can say that we have a real mix of racers, TTers, sportive riders and just rec riders. Everyone is very friendly and we try to keep the group numbers around 8-10 so not too big but big enough to get some shelter when not on the front. We're used to having riders new to group riding along and usually have groups from slow to fast depending on numbers. Come along on a Tuesday night or just turn up on a Saturday and you'll get a nice welcome
I looked at your website before, but i didnt think you was looking for new male members, only because it says under membership woman and youth. ?

I don't think we discriminate. There certainly isn't a limit on the number of riders, male or otherwise so feel free to come along.

Nice bunch, they ride out of Denham on a Sunday, I used to ride with them a lot, went to join the club but they don't accept PayPal you can't hand the money over data ride, you have to attend on of the club meeting nights. I could not mess around with all that.
A good mix of a club though with a bit of social and a racing side to it.. just needs to drag itself into the digital payment age
