London City Airport (LCY) is a small single-runway airport that serves the financial districts of London. It is located on a former Docklands site, in the London Borough of Newham in East London. London City is the smallest of the five international airports serving the London area after Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 1987.

London City was used by 2.3 million passengers, mostly business travellers, in 2006. Due to the London City Airport, height of new skyscrapers in and around the Canary Wharf had to be limited. Passengers to the airport can use the Docklands Light Railway to the London City Airport DLR station.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
