I used HeliAir for a London sightseeing tour a few weeks ago - very professional, but very relaxed and friendly at the same time

We arranged to fly with the doors off for photography - bloody breezy, but well worth it for the unimpeded view

The “doors-on” cost for three people would have been very reasonable (less than £100 each IIRC). Doors off bumped the cost up, but it was still worth it

That’s the one I did, loved it and really nice people. Up and down the Thames rather than all over London

Depending on where you live, a helicopter could pick you up from your home, or nearby, route along the London Heli Lanes, then drop you back.

Choice of helicopter makes a difference to the quality of the ride. A piston engine Robinson would be the cheapest, but a turbine Squirrel would be a much nicer option.

Does it have to be a helicopter? Classic Wings do a tour over London in a 1940s dehavilland dragon rapide from Duxford which are lovely things to fly in.
