Test the road journey first
Consider Southend if your party starts in Essex or east London. Ask for a pickup-based comparison rather than assuming an airport with London in its name is close to every part of the city.
Southend is an Essex departure option with a dedicated Jet Centre. Compare it for an east-London or local pickup, then ask the handler to confirm the actual flight operating window rather than relying on a general support-hours statement.
