Default Island airport.

From:
http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/d...ble_london.php

"...And people living under Heathrow's flight path might be keen on an
audacious plan to move the airport to an offshore island in the Thames
Estuary.

The proposed project would cost £30billion according to the Thames
Estuary Airport Company (Teac), who believe the project could be
solely funded by the private sector.

The site would be about three miles northeast of Minster on the Isle
of Sheppey.

While the idea has not been formally supported by the Mayor, it is
understood he is keen in exploring the possibility.


Since the Thames Estuary is not part of London, is it the mayor's business
to explore the possibility?

Since Heathrow definitely is part of London, yes.
