Why fly over London?

London is one of the hardest cities in the world to fly over — and that's exactly what makes a helicopter tour here so special. Public scenic flights depart from London Heliport in Battersea, the only licensed heliport inside the M25, and follow the Thames Helicopter Lane H4 — a tightly controlled corridor that traces the river from Battersea past Westminster, the London Eye, the Shard, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf to the Thames Barrier. Because the corridor is so strictly defined, every seat enjoys an outstanding window view, and flights are timed so you cross the City of London at low altitude with the Gherkin, Walkie-Talkie and Cheesegrater filling the frame. Private charters can also depart from Stapleford or Denham for English countryside, Stonehenge and Windsor scenic loops.
