London Heliport (Battersea)

London Heliport is on the south bank of the River Thames at Battersea. It is the capital's only CAA licensed heliport. The heliport was established in 1959 and is a hub for executive helicopter travel, with landing, take off, refuelling and VIP charter services. It sits minutes from Chelsea, Westminster and Knightsbridge.

The heliport offers a passenger lounge, a sound proofed VIP lounge, passenger briefings, parking on request and airside escort with baggage handling. Customs and immigration are provided. The heliport is listed as a General Aviation Agreement aerodrome by HM Revenue and Customs.

Operator services include licensed air traffic control on site, marshalling, towing, and aircraft handling and fuelling. Jet A-1 fuel is supplied from a gravity fed pump. The fire and rescue service operates at H2 level throughout the operating hours, and H3 cover can be arranged on prior notice.

Charter flights are arranged through the partner Get Heli, which compares quotes for business and pleasure trips across the UK and Europe. The heliport also co-ordinates helicopter transfers to London's regional airports and is a departure point for major social and sporting events.

The heliport was refurbished in the summer of 2019. Edmiston and Company is its official sponsor and has made a long term commitment to the site. The Reuben Brothers bought the heliport in February 2012 for £35 million, and the site continues to serve business users and local emergency services, including the London Air Ambulance.

Visitors who need lounge facilities, customs clearance and a secure base for flights into the capital can plan their trip through the heliport's operator pages. Pilots can find the conditions of use and the fees on the same site.
