London apartments with good links to the city’s airports

The city of London is served by six airports but some are further away than others. Heathrow, Gatwick, City Airport, Luton, Southend and Stansted are all technically London airports, and they all provide direct train and bus routes to the capital when you land. These London apartments are all located close to the train stations which serve the airports to make your visit as seamless as possible.
