Take in London’s most well-known sites from a different point of view. The London Helicopter is now available for bird-eye-view tours that not only rivals but completely overshadows the London Eye’s high view. The tour gives a new perspective on well-known places such as Hyde Park, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the House of Parliament. The helicopter takes off from the London Heliport in Battersea and Redhill Aerodrome, located near Gatwick Airport. The daily tour takes 20 minutes if you choose to fly from Battersea and 30 minutes from Redhill.
