Scenic helicopter flight

Routes over the Thames

The river guides every route: bridges, historic districts and great landmarks unfold below, with a clear view for every passenger. The short route focuses on the centre, while the longest reaches out to the Docklands and the countryside around London.

Choose the option that fits your time and your group. The pilot adapts the route to the day's conditions for the best possible visibility.

The London and the Thames route, the shortest, follows the river through the heart of the capital: it is the ideal introduction to the city from the air, especially for children or first-time helicopter passengers.

London and Windsor extends the flight west along the Thames to Windsor Castle. The Grand Tour of London, the longest, links the centre, the Docklands and the surrounding countryside for an overview of the whole city.

The durations shown are the reference times for each option: they are confirmed with your quote, depending on the chosen route and the day's conditions. Every route departs from London.

On board: a cabin made for the view

Up to five passengers can board the same flight. The cabin's wide windows look out over the city, and everyone has their own seat to enjoy the flight.

The short route suits first-time helicopter passengers. The longer options appeal to those who want to make the most of the spectacle.

Every passenger has their own seat and a clear view of the city. To make the most of the flight, wear comfortable clothes and bring your camera or phone, following the pilot's instructions before take-off.

Bulky luggage is not suitable for this type of flight: list in the form what you plan to bring, so the team can check that everything can be carried safely.

A safety briefing is given before boarding. Passengers enter their weight in the request, so the flight can be prepared in the best conditions. Arrive at the time stated in your confirmation so boarding is unhurried.

Planning your flight: weather, timings and chauffeur

A scenic flight depends on the weather and aircraft availability. Give your preferred date and time, plus an alternative if your plans allow: our team confirms the slot with your quote.

A chauffeur can drive you to the departure point and wait for you, or take you back to your hotel after the flight. Enter the addresses in the form to bring your whole journey together.

Slots are chosen with light and visibility in mind: late in the day the light over the city can be beautiful, but everything depends on the weather on the day. Suggest several times in your message if your plans allow.

Our team comes back to you with the quote, the confirmed route and the meeting point. If the flight has to be postponed because of the weather, another date will be offered. Remember to give your full contact details: they allow us to reach you quickly on the day of the flight.
