About

Helicopter flights over London are usually reserved for royalty - with this experience you too can enjoy a Queen's-eye view of the city! You'll board an EC120 or AS350/5 helicopter for a fantastic half hour sightseeing trip. If you've never been in a chopper before you'll be thrilled by the vertical take-off, and by the way your helicopter can travel backwards, sideways, or just hang motionless in midair. You'll follow the path of the Thames into the heart of the city - a perspective that most people only get to see on the EastEnders titles. Flying at 1,500 feet, you'll have a fantastic view of the capital's iconic landmarks, including the Millennium Dome, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, before heading home to land. You'll get an amazing perspective on the geography of the city and the beauty of its landmarks - and whether you're tourists or Londoners born and bred, it will make you see the capital in a whole new way.
