Getting to London
It’s likely that you’ll be flying into Heathrow, but if you’re coming from within the EU via a budget airline, Gatwick will probably be your airport of destination since it caters for charter and budget flights. Accommodating millions of passengers with many flight options and expanded parking services, Gatwick Airport is comparable to Heathrow in terms of passenger traffic, so be prepared to deal with large crowds and long queues.
