Rye House in Hoddesdon just north of junction 25 of the M25 (about an hour and a bits drive). They operate arrive and drive but also have a few Rotax Max 125's for the more competent drivers if they feel you have what it takes after proving yourself in the putt-putt thunderkarts 
If you want more local tracks there's one in Aldershot (indoor) and there's allways Sandown Park (outdoor) in Esher just off the A3.
Are you after arrive and drive or do you have a kart and want a circuit to test/race at???

Nah a colleague at work is organising an evening out. Probably an endurance race or similar for multiple teams.
We went to woodley last time and it was ok but track was small and tight and not really that inducive to exciting racing.

This is the place in Aldershot http://www.team-sport.co.uk/
This is Rye House http://www.deavinsons.co.uk/
Rye is a bit of a trek but well worth it. The circuit is quite demanding but it is outdoors and the facilities are quite good.
Daytona operate tracks at Milton Keynes and Sandown Park and they can be found here http://www.daytona.co.uk/
A comprehensive list of all the circuits in the UK can be found here http://www.karting.co.uk/Tracks/

Yeah Ive been to Rye House on a Scoobynet karting outing. Was good but a bit far to go for the evening.
I just thought there would be somewhere a bit better around here but the more I look into it I find thats not the case.

Your going to have to drive for a good venue.
I'd recommend Daytona in Milton Keynes, my old work have just organised an afternoon at Thruxton karting, that looked quite good.
If you look at karting.co.uk theres a track guide, you can see what circuits are near you.
