London airports

Which airport is right for your trip?

London is served by six airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend. The best choice depends on flight options, your destination and onward travel. London City is close to the centre, while Heathrow offers direct rail connections into the city. The other airports are also connected by train or long-distance coach.

Getting to your accommodation

The airport you arrive at affects your journey time and how you get to your accommodation. Connections vary depending on the airport and your destination within the city. Transport providers publish timetables and fares for each route. Before booking your flight, you can plan your arrival airport and onward journey together with the location of your hotel. For more information about getting around, see our overview of the London Underground.
