The airport.

I think closing LHR and LGW (both overcrowded rat-holes) and replacing
them with a "super-Schiphol" would be a wonderful idea, personally.
The value of the land under LHR would pay for a good chunk of it, as
well.

Currently if heathrow or gatwick is fogbound or has some other problem then
aircraft can land at the other. A single airport is a single point of
failure.
