The only London airport actually in London. A short runway between the old docks, a DLR station at the door, and some of the quickest check-ins in Europe. Mostly business flights, and priced like it.
If your flight goes from London City, you will be in and out faster than at any other London airport. The fares are often higher, and the choice of routes is limited. For visitors staying in the City, Canary Wharf or east London, it is ideal.
London City has no direct flights to Africa. Travellers can connect through European hubs such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Zurich, where some airlines fly on to Africa.
Before you book, check the rules on our UK visa and entry from Africa page, and the routes on flights from Africa to the UK. For Ghana in particular, our partner site GhanaFlights.info lists the airlines, the airports and the routes.
