London is a big city, a very big city. And it has thousands of tourists coming in every day through its various airports. Today, we will outline all the airports of London and their locations. We will describe them and their services and how long it takes for one to travel from them to Central London. We will also discuss how our executive chauffeur service can provide a comfortable and luxurious ride to your destination.
LONDON GATWICK (LGW – EGKK)
London Gatwick is the second biggest airport in England. The air traffic that it sees every year is only second to London Heathrow. It is also the tenth busiest airport in Europe. The popularity of this airport means that it is one of the most popular places for an executive chauffeur service in London to pick people up. If not all of England.
LONDON HEATHROW (LHR / EGLL)
Finally, London Heathrow is the biggest and busiest airport on this list, just as it is the biggest and busiest in London. The air traffic it sees is one of the busiest in the world actually and it is definitely the most popular entry point for people to England. Under an hour away from St Pancras, it is definitely the spot for chauffeur services to pick people up.
LONDON LUTON AIRPORT (LTN / EGGW)
Compared to other airports in London, like Gatwick or Heathrow, this airport is actually smaller and less busy. With a big amount of people that go through it every day being locals. Though it still gets international passengers, it, therefore, counts as an international airport. Getting from Luton Airport to Central London would take about an hour.
FARNBOROUGH AIRPORT (FAB/ EGLF)
Farnborough airport, located in Surrey, is about an hour and a half’s drive to Central London. It is an airport that has seen its air traffic grow a lot in recent years. Though it is an airport that is exclusively private, it still sees high numbers land on its runway through international flights. It also has a lounge where chauffeurs from Chauffeur services can come in from London or other areas and wait to pick up their clients. One of the only places to have a dedicated room like that for chauffeurs.
LONDON STANSTED AIRPORT (STN – EGSS)
A modest but functional airport, London Stansted has made a name for itself by being well-organized and easy to navigate. Though it does not contain big named shops. Helpful people, cooperative staff, and on the best days, it’s not crowded.
LONDON BIGGIN HILL AIRPORT (BQH / EGKB)
An airport that has its history dating back to around the second World War. It is an airport that accepts chartered and private flights as the majority of its air traffic. It is known for its beautiful views from where you can see planes landing and taking off. Its amenities are also pretty renowned and considered a key part of the airport. It is also known for its service with all its staff being friendly and easy to deal with. It is definitely one of the best places for a private flight to land. It also contains the largest known collection of Spitfires fighter planes that still exist. A sight to see for sure. It’s about an hour away from Central London.
LONDON CITY AIRPORT PRIVATE JET CENTRE (LCY / EGLC)
London City Airport is a public, international airport that has a centre for private jets. London City Airport isn’t particularly large. Nor is it known for its stay capabilities with its lounges being very large. The convenience it provides to the users sets it apart from every airport. It is definitely known for being fast and efficient. It’s just under an hour away from Central London.
LONDON RAF NORTHOLT JET CENTRE (NHT/ EGWU)
RAF Northolt is arguably the most exclusive airport in England. It is very private and secure. The reason for that is because it is known as the Queen’s airport. It has military personnel on standby for protection, which makes its security very high. It is a historical airport and it still has a working base on the premises. It’s under an hour away from Central London.
BLACKBUSHE AIRPORT (BBS – EGLK)
Very rarely is an airport known for something other than itself, but Blackbushe airport is known for the great cafe outside it. The cafe provides brilliant views of the runway that one can sit all day and gaze at. The airport isn’t particularly large and only accepts private flights. It is about an hour and a half away from Central London.
LONDON OXFORD AIRPORT (OXF/ EGTK)
A privately-owned airport, formerly known as Oxford International Airport, it’s an airport that is about two hours away from Central London, which some argue means that it isn’t in London. Not a big airport, it is still very efficient at processing passengers.
