London Heliport (ICAO: EGLW), previously called Battersea Heliport and currently known officially as the Edmiston London Heliport for sponsorship reasons, is London's only licensed heliport. The facility, which was built by W. & C. French and opened on 23 April 1959, is located in Battersea on the south bank of the River Thames, 3 NM (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) southwest of Westminster Bridge and between Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Railway Bridge. Prior to the official opening, the first aircraft to land at the heliport on 8 April 1959, was a Westland Widgeon Series 2, owned by Westland Aircraft.

  • London Heliport (ICAO: EGLW), previously called Battersea Heliport and currently known officially as the Edmiston London Heliport for sponsorship reasons, is London's only licensed heliport. The facility, which was built by W. & C. French and opened on 23 April 1959, is located in Battersea on the south bank of the River Thames, 3 NM (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) southwest of Westminster Bridge and between Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Railway Bridge. Prior to the official opening, the first aircraft to land at the heliport on 8 April 1959, was a Westland Widgeon Series 2, owned by Westland Aircraft. The heliport, once owned by Westland and then Harrods, is a very small site, making use of a jetty to provide a helipad for take-off and landing, and onshore parking for three to four aircraft, depending upon their size. The heliport provides landing, parking and refuelling services between 08:00 and 21:00 (flights are permitted between 07:00 and 23:00), albeit parking is normally restricted to smaller helicopter categories. Flight conditions and procedures at the heliport prescribe a circuit height 1,000 ft (305 m) above the Thames, in an extended figure-of-eight over the water, to seek to minimise noise pollution for residents in the area and to constrain flight operations to over the river, away from the built-up area. Ground running of rotors is restricted to a maximum of five minutes for the same reason. In 2003 London Heliport was acquired by Weston Homes. In 2012 it was bought by the Reuben Brothers, who also own Oxford Airport, for £35 million. Edmiston announced in August 2019 that they would be taking over the title sponsorship of the heliport with a restyling of the interior & exterior areas as well as repainting the helicopter landing apron. The nearest main line railway station is Clapham Junction and the nearest London Underground station is Fulham Broadway. (en)
  • L'Héliport de Londres (code OACI : EGLW), précédemment appelé Battersea et actuellement officiellement connu comme le NetJets London Heliport fait office d'unique héliport pour la capitale anglaise. L'établissement, qui a été inauguré en 1959, est situé dans Battersea, sur la rive sud de la Tamise, à 5,6 km au sud-ouest du pont de Westminster et entre Wandsworth Bridge et le pont ferroviaire de Battersea. L'héliport est un très petit site et permet l'utilisation d'une jetée pour un décollage et un atterrissage, ainsi que le parking pour trois à quatre appareils, en fonction de leur taille. L'héliport est ouvert entre 08:00 et 21:00 (les vols sont autorisés entre 07:00 et 23:00), et le stationnement est normalement limité à de petits hélicoptères. La gare la plus proche se trouve à Clapham Junction, et la plus proche station de métro est Fulham Broadway. (fr)
