London City Airport, located close to London's financial district, is popular with business travelers. A recent extension of the Docklands Light Railway to the airport made it even more accessible by public transportation. The smaller size of the airport means its check-in times and queuing are normally much shorter than those of the big London airports.www.londoncityairport.com
