Choose a window seat on the left side (Seat A) for the best chance of seeing Central London. Heathrow typically operates westerly landings, meaning you will fly from East to West over the city. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography of the London skyline, while evening flights offer a stunning view of the city lights. Be aware that views depend on the specific arrival stack assigned by Air Traffic Control.
