London is served by several distinct airports, each with its own role. Heathrow (LHR) is the capital’s principal international hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it sits about 24 km west of central London and is usually reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, higher fare), London Underground/Piccadilly Line (50–60 minutes, lower fare), or taxis/shuttles (40–60 minutes depending on traffic). Gatwick (LGW) to the south is often a mixed international and leisure gateway popular with both low-cost and legacy airlines, around 45 km from the centre and commonly linked by Gatwick Express or Thameslink trains (30–40 minutes) and coach services. Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN) function largely as bases for low-cost carriers and charter flights; they are farther out (roughly 45–65 km) with train-plus-shuttle or express coach options taking about 35–60 minutes—usually cheaper but less convenient than central airports. London City (LCY) is a compact, business-oriented airport within the Docklands area, close to the financial district (about 10 km) and often reached by Docklands Light Railway or short taxi rides (15–25 minutes). Pros: wide choice of airlines and frequencies across price points; excellent rail and coach links. Cons: travel time and cost vary widely by airport and can be affected by peak traffic or transfer connections.
