Of course, during the summer, you could always combine your visit with a visit to Heathrow and after seeing the Saturday morning activity at London City head west to see the afternoon and early evening arrivals at Heathrow.

London Heathrow’s Myrtle Avenue is possibly one of the world’s most famous aircraft spotting sites. A typical suburban street in the London Borough of Hounslow, the open grass area at one end and its proximity to the threshold of runway 27L, make it an excellent spot to take photos or just simply watch the aircraft.
