Helicopter Experience over London
A helicopter sight seeing tour is one of the best ways to see the sights of London. To truly appreciate London, jump in a helicopter and see our Capital city from the air. The helicopters used for these sight seeing tours are renowned as being amongst the world's most comfortable and reliable aircraft and, as you might expect, the views through the cabin windows are excellent.
Your flight experience will last approximately thirty minutes, depending on air traffic, and provides you with a full view of London as soon as you take off. Lifting off from Biggin Hill your experienced pilot will follow the River Thames flying at approx 1500ft, providing you with excellent views of London, including: The Thames Barrier, London City Airport, the O2 Millenium Dome, Greenwich, Isle of Dogs, Canary Wharf, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, The City, St Paul's, Trafalgar Square, The London Eye, Houses of Parliament and MI6 building.
Your return flight will follow a similar route so no matter which side of the helicopter you are seated, you'll miss nothing of London's splendour. This is a sightseeing pleasure flight which ranks with the best in the world.
