Basic Information

Located on the banks of the Thames River, just to the east of London and not far from Canary Wharf, London City Airport (LCY) is the closest airport to the city centre and lies next to Canning Town, Silver town and also the University of East London. The airport is therefore ideal for business travellers and those with less time on their hands. 

There is just one terminal at London City Airport, which has commendable facilities and is easy to navigate. Flights come in from many major UK cities, as well as from European destinations including Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Jersey. Although the airport currently serves around two million passengers annually, it is predicated that this has the potential to grow to five million in the near future. The nearby Excel Exhibition Centre is often of interest to arriving passengers and lies on the northern side of the city’s Royal Victoria Dock.

Nearby Airports  

  • London Luton (LTN) – London’s second low-cost airport, and the 5th busiest airport in the UK. Considerably further from the city than LHR.
  • London Heathrow Airport – LHR – London’s busiest airport, and the busiest airport in the world in terms of international passengers.
  • London City Airport (LCY) – London’s smallest airport, and also the closest airport to downtown and the financial district.

  • London Gatwick Airport – LGW is London’s second busiest airport
