No. Flying into *Heathrow* is, by any reasonable definition, hell.
There are, however, many other airports in the London area, and all of
them are orders of magnitude better.

I imagine you have to be of high net worth to use City Airport. Also it
is debatable whether Luton or Stanstead are actually in the London area.
The names are a product of London's self-obsession and the
international obsession with it.
