London Airport Information

London is served by at least five airports. To the south is Gatwick, to the west is Heathrow, to the north east is Stansted, to the north west is Luton, and centrally there is a smaller business commuting airport -"City" . I have overheard Americans arguing while they travel on a bus linking Gatwick to Heathrow that they were going to miss a plane because they assumed London had one airport! Take care.
