Romford Helicopter Rides
Take off from Redcroft Fields for London-focused helicopter sightseeing, from an 18 minute East London flight to a full City of London tour, plus private flights lasting 30 or 60 minutes.
East London below you. The capital ahead.
Redcroft Fields near South Ockendon gives the Romford area a helicopter launch point with a very clear sightseeing direction. The shorter shared flights head towards Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, West Ham United’s stadium and the London skyline, while the 30 minute City of London tour gives the capital much more room to dominate the experience.
Private flying then changes the scale again. Choose approximately 30 minutes in the air for a more personal London sightseeing occasion, or make it a full-hour bespoke London flight when the helicopter itself is meant to be the main event.
