Landing at London City Airport (LCY) on runway 09 (no music)

[@davepayne164]

I’ve been a passenger on this approach at night. It’s genuinely a brilliant experience. That sharp bank over the Shard is great.

[@ohwhatworld5851]

So much greenery. Beautiful city.

[@jogolock1190]

Yes, compared to flyovers of cities like New York and Los Angeles, London is so green, the planners in that city got it right. I got no idea what the planners in American Cities do as their cities look like hidieous concrete jungles with hardly any green spaces for their citizens to enjoy.

[@ohwhatworld5851]

@M-se5of You are chatting absolute nonsense.

[@JohnDoe-vo4bk]

no he is isn’t. London is a crime ridden shitehole

[@gdok6088]

@M-se5of What complete and utter rubbish. London is as far removed from Kabul as Kabul is from civilisation. From TravelSafe website:- "You should know that traveling in Kabul is extremely dangerous and is strongly discouraged. The current Afghan government has little control over Kabul, which is effectively a war zone."

[@JT29501]

Absolutely, one of the best things about London.. go up to the top of Richmond Hill, look over the famous view of West London.. you see more trees than buildings!

[@gilliantracy7991]

Very nice. London has built up quite a bit since I was there in 1998!! Thanks for sharing!

[@fabianohza7749]

eu gostaria de conhecer Londres, sou brasileiro do rio de janeiro. De onde você é? (I'd like to meet London, I'm brazillian of Rio de Janeiro. Where are you from?)

[@pwrcaelenx]

@@fabianohza7749 um…creepy

[@kittenlady3193]

Enjoyed the bird view, wasn't aware London was so huge. Beautiful smooth landing. Thank you.

[@sie4431]

This was only a small fraction. London would take a good hour to drive from top to bottom, three if there was traffic

[@dgse83]

Greater London covers 616 sq miles (1,600 sq km, roughly) - and a population of over 9 million. But, 35% of it is green space. It's a stunner of a city.

[@andrewchaston503]

35 million live within a 50 Kms radius of Big Ben!. That's half the population of the UK

[@michaelrocky4571]

WOW, just so beautiful, never seen that part of London before.. thanks!

[@stickynorth]

One of the best videos on landing at LCY I've see yet! And as an Albertan taxpayer/really really really tiny partial owner, thank you for flying out of our asset! Along with 2 Ontario pension funds and the Kuwaiti Investment Authority, this is as close to landing at the the old Kai Tak as you're likely to see in 21st century aviation! Part airport, part thrill ride! I love it!

[@mrpullafastone]

Defo.

[@WeMuckAround]

I had no idea LCY is owned by Canadian investors! I’m moving to Calgary from (near enough) London in a couple of weeks. Will be departing from LHR however!

[@Claggyt]

I always think of London as my second home having lived/worked there for 10 years and gone back many time since. The flight into City Airport is magnificent. Nice video.

[@brianbanfield5397]

Great video. I really like the many green spaces spread out over London. In my opinion London is one of the most beautiful and amazing cities in the world. Keep up the great work.

[@yipmabaruya1148]

Good morning from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents

[@calvingrondahl1011]

My favorite airport for taking off and landing videos. London City 👍

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

Always amazes me when flying over a very old city. How London was 200or 300 years ago blows my mind to contemplate.

[@Nooticus]

Really excellent video!! I have done the Heathrow approach over London many times but never this much rarer one into LCY! They go over the Canary Wharf buildings so low, wow! 😍 best city in the world!

[@ronhyde]

Beautiful video. Thank you!

[@paulplayspoorly]

Great video, thank you for sharing! Why would anybody give it a thumbs down? People these days, eh?

[@malc334]

Great view of the DLR and Millenium Dome Building

[@philwashington4127]

Superb video, thanks for filming and sharing it.

[@descendingforth]

Im on the brink of tears with how beautiful this is!

[@gauer99]

Great video, love landing there, right in the city!

[@Slycockney]

Excellent video , fantastic views on approach. Cheers

[@kesgraveklaxon5586]

bless you for no music

[@richardburfoot461]

Gorgeous sound track - ideal backing to your splendid video. Very accomplished.

[@AugustusRex-nk8ze]

Magnificent in all ways.

[@JaniGhaffor-e6s]

Landing at City Airport is one of the best views you'll get of london, i did it and was fortunate enough to have a Go Around so did the landing twice!

[@bernardmcmahon351]

Excellent presentation,thanks

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

Great British city 🏙 🇬🇧 and great landing.

[@graeabarth2227]

I fly this approach quite often in MSFS Flight Sim so it’s great to see it for real 😁 Some spectacular views over London! Great video 👍

[@markstephenson-oliver7513]

Great video and picture quality. music would totally spoil it.

[@flippert0]

The hum of the engines is enough music to my ears!

[@JellyMonster1]

That was great, thanks Paul.

[@2011zurich]

[@johncamp2567]

Very enjoyable.

[@darren_anscombe]

Flight simulators look so realistic these days. Nice video of one.

[@tortoiseshellClaire]

The filming quality is amazing - do you mind me asking what camera/phone you are using? I've hardly ever seen images as focused and detailed, and the colour is really vibrant too!

[@kurios_nl]

Thanks. I am flattered 😊 I have used a standard iPhone 11 Pro.

[@tortoiseshellClaire]

[@davidsummer8631]

Only used City Airport once when I few out nearly two decades ago on the way to Amsterdam so hopefully one day I get to land in City Airport

[@OpenbaarVervoer2D]

I regret that i was confused about the angle of approach and booked a seat on the left side, this year in May, which showed a more boring view and i missed the magnificent view on the Thames of the O2 and the cable car like can be seen in this video in this video.

[@newmankidman5763]

It passed near my house in Limehouse.

[@pib712thesecond]

For anyone else like me trying to map this, we start over Camberwell New Cemetery

[@kernow9324]

I looked for the Crystal Palace transmitter but couldn't see it. Is it in the video, do you know?

[@pib712thesecond]

@@kernow9324 I believe it’s the other side of the plane at the start. The camera’s facing north

[@edgardopolaco7176]

Grazie, monsieur

I could see my house at Canada Water!

[@Schnorbitz]

I didn’t realise the Shard was basically on top of a railroad station.

[@JohnyG29]

It's next to London Bridge Railway Station (we don't have railroads).

[@stanb4562]

It is - a corner of the Shard stands on what used to be part of the station concourse, which is much smaller now.

[@dgse83]

@@stanb4562 They've built a giant concourse under the tracks/arches

[@krashd]

@@JohnyG29 We do have railroads, we just call them railways. They are the exact same thing.

[@konstkaras]

Great! However, isn't it so noisy in central London? Aircrafts usually don't fly over such cities as Moscow and St. Petersburg, looks strange they are allowed over London and don't approach from other side.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Seriously? These aren’t 707’s, not the noisy jets we used to be plagued with.

[@krashd]

London City is not a major airport so only small to medium aircraft land there. The big noisy aircraft land at the other airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton, which are all at the edge of the city. LCY is mainly for business people who pay extra to land near the middle.

[@zupermaus9276]

none of what you saw was actually over the centre, including the skyscraper districts

[@suningchen]

Is this real or a flight simulator?

[@alphabeta9594]

Real

[@theofaulk752]

👍👍

[@jonathan130]

London looks so weird with so many suburbs in the middle of the city

[@zupermaus9276]

Everything you saw was actually outside the centre, including the skyscraper districts. The centre is historic and very dense, with two other skyscraper districts.

[@Yasin_2312]

Cuz that’s South London. East London and Central London is very densely populated, and if the camera man sat on the other side of the row, you would’ve seen the main city

[@sareensonic]

I thought that this was flight simulator

[@2660016A]

This looks suspiciously like flight sim.
