British Airways flights to London land at London City Airport as well as
Gatwick and Heathrow Airports. Heathrow Airport is 15 miles
west of London, while Gatwick is 28 miles south of central London. London
City Airport is ten miles east of London's West End so you can
be shopping soon after your flight to London lands. British Airways has flights to
London from New York, Edinburgh and other cities around the UK. Leave your London flight
behind and explore history at the Museum of London Docklands, or take another
flight on the London Eye.
Travel to/from central London
Your journey time to London depends on which airport your London flight lands at. The
quickest way to central London from Gatwick is on Gatwick Express trains,
leaving every 15 minutes and taking 30 minutes to reach London Victoria Station.
Alternatively, take a train to King's Cross Station (50 minutes) or
London Bridge Station (30 minutes). Heathrow Express trains leave every 15
minutes to and from London Paddington Station taking about 15 minutes (21 to/from
Terminal 5). London Underground gets you into central London an hour after
flights land. From London City Airport, it takes less than 30 minutes on the
Dockland's Light Railway to an underground station. Taxis
from all airports will get you easily to and from central London after flights, but
traffic jams are likely.
Best of London
After booking flights to London, reserve tickets for a musical. Before your return
flights, visit London's British Museum, a treasure trove of ancient
artefacts. Tour historical hideaways in London's Gothic Westminster
Abbey or wander through London's royal parks – you can
even go horse riding in Hyde Park. Buy souvenirs like Fortnum &
Mason tea or a toy London red double-decker bus to take home with you on
flights from London.
