London to Stockholm flights

The buzzing city of London is home to five international airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Luton and Stansted. London City airport is located approximately 10km to the east of Central London making it the closest airport to the city hub. It has a single terminal building as well as a single runway. It is renowned for handling short-haul flights that are mostly Eurocentric. It handles flights to European countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and a host of other European countries. If you are going to Sweden, you will get flights from London city to Stockholm on the first floor of the terminal building.

London City Airport's close proximity to the city (approximately 10km) results in a shorter journey from the central hub to the airport. The Docklands Light Railways (DLR) tube network is the fastest and most efficient mode of public transport. Getting a tube from the city at stations such as Stratford and Beckton to the airport will take less than ten minutes. The DLR operates in intervals of between 8-15 minutes.
