Flights to London
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.
