Zeeland Delta
Intricate network of islands and massive storm surge barriers in the Southwest Netherlands.
Kent Coastline
Views of the North Kent coast including the seaside towns of Margate and Whitstable.
Thames Estuary
The widening mouth of the river filled with cargo ships and the Maunsell Sea Forts in the distance.
The O2 Arena
A perfectly clear view of the massive dome just seconds before touchdown.
Greenwich Park
The Royal Observatory and the Meridian Line visible as the aircraft banks for the steep approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is unbeatable for the 'steep approach' experience into LCY, providing the best views of the historic Greenwich area and the financial district's southern edge. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the UK coastline.
