Getting to the city
Sort out your transfer before you book. London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted each put you down in a different part of the city, so the airport you choose changes the onward journey as much as the fare does. Build in a buffer on weekday mornings and evenings, when London is at its busiest. If you land late, confirm that your transfer still runs at that hour, and avoid a tight same-day connection. Compare what is available from London City with the other airports before you decide.
