London City Airport is an international airport in London, England. It is located in the Royal Docks in the London Borough of Newham, approximately 7 miles (11 km) east of the City of London and a shorter distance east of Canary Wharf. These are the twin centres of London's financial industry, which is a major user of the airport. With space limited in the London Docklands area, and comparatively low passenger volumes, London City Airport is small compared with several other airports serving London, such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.
