I will never forget the day I arrived in London for the first time. I was 16 and I remember seeing the Big Ben from the plane.. I started to cry because I've always had this weird but amazing obsession with the british culture. I WAS FINALLY THERE, in the city of my dreams. The cars looked so tiny from above and the houses were like those in the Harry Potter films, everything was magical. Can't wait to return (hopefully soon). x
Perla La. I feel the same way about London. This may sound strange, but I only feel alive in London, when I am home in America, I only look forward to returning to England.
One of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I hope I get to travel to London this year! And I also hope I get to have such a stunning view from my plane!
If u travel to Heathrow you should definitely see London when landing. I flew to Gatwick as well on Saturday night and right when we were landing on the right hand side you could see the skyline with the shard and all the other buildings
Lovely! When you have trekked across the globe for 24+ hours from Australia, seeing this wonderful city in the early morning light like this is truely thrilling. Let’s all hope that we can visit this “old friend” again one day soon and find it alive and vibrant as it used to be.
London never leaves you. The madness and the contradictions the beauty and the history. How many cities do you absorb like you absorb London? Those who come never really leave.
Yea. The thing is a plane is much safer than even a car! Less room for error in a plane, but if something does go wrong more than likely you have a better chance of surviving a car crash than a plane crash.
Wonderful video .. thank you for posting .. I am going next weekend to London. Been 15 years since I have been home to see my family. This video makes me look forward to it even more.
Saw London from plane when flying from New York to Heathrow. We were visiting a friend who lives there and we weren't visiting London which was close by but I saw it from the plane and flipped out I was so happy!!!!!!
Last and first time I saw this view was flying in from LA, 35 years ago. I cried when I saw and recognised Windsor Castle. Probably will never get back to UK sadly. Just loved this. Thanks for the memories. 🇦🇺
How did you see Windsor Castle during this approach? The castle is some way to the west of the airport and is only visible after take-off from runways 27L or 27R or before landing from the opposite direction (runways 09L or 09R).
This video is amazing!! I liked it so much ...when i landed at london it was tne same view . London landing is amazing than landing in India. Thnxx for sharing dis video.
Very very nice :))) I love flying :D Take off and Landing always give me the chills :))) Remember back in the day when people used to clap when the plane landed? LOL
Moved to Malaysia back in October 2018, I'm being forced out of Malaysia so I'm leaving at the end of March 2019. Moving to Hong Kong for a month before moving to Australia. I don't touch British Soil again until the 21st June 2019. I'm looking forward to the day but I'll miss the adventures I had. I do miss home
One of the "nice" things about landing or taking off at Heathrow from the East is that one gets a panorama of London before going there. In March 1960 my family went to London to live in the UK. My sight of this greatest of cities was Alas! a preview of suffering that I was shortly to undergo. Putting people like me "in our places" is a major pastime of the ruling class below the aircrafts' wings. They seem invincible and untouchable but nothing of that was apparent to me as a child in March 1960. :)
@@groveavenue That's really sad. I've worked for two large organisations, mainly in London, with a very diverse (and vocal) workforce, and there was no racism of any sort. And believe me, if there were, we would have heard about it. There were incidents of racial abuse by customers so it clearly hasn't been totally rooted out in the public at large but among colleagues it was unheard of.
I know the difficulties of filming a flight but why not switch off the AUTO-FOCUS, as I had a migrane watching this in full screen, which is fully deserves. Every trip is a learning curve, so well done for good footage. Oh; Turn off the reading light next time, as at that stage of the flight, a leaflet cannot be that important for your neighbour to digest....
A sight you will not see again flying inside an older 747.Luthansa & Korean may fly the 8 series in. 10 years ago a significant proportion of flights coming in from the East were 747-400’s. Now with the virus most have been grounded. A lovely aircraft to fly in even cramped in Economy.
I live in London and I am increasingly feeling ashamed and guilty how expensive the capital has become for residents and tourists. The city shouldn't just be enjoyed by the wealthy but all should be welcome.
At 6:49 ASDA Hounslow comes into view, right? Is that like a department store or some sort of shopping mall? I have a neighbor who's daughter-in-law is from London and I heard her talking one day to Mrs. Hilton (my Dear neighbor's wife) about shopping at Hounslow, shopping at Hounslow.. Just curious if anyone here knows..

Perla La. Trust me. If you live in London. It's not that special. Especially the terrible weather.
It's the same everywhere if you're a tourist. Unless you just have a generally higher zeal for life than your average whinging Pom! ;)
No matter where it is; flying over a illuminated landscape is just magical...
I agree
Curtis LeMay agrees.

I remember landing in London at around the same time of day. Absolutely beautiful view. Great memories of this city.
I love watching this while listening to Annie Lennox "Downtown Lights". Amazing!
12 people didn't get the window seat
This video is amazing!! I liked it so much ...when i landed at london it was tne same view . London landing is amazing than landing in India. Thnxx for sharing dis video.

When the plane lands, your mood and the sun rises together!!
Amazing video! I'm super excited now, going to London in December and I just can't wait!!
I love london...
Landing on Heathrow are the happiest moments in my life

Ughh!! I landed at sunrise but it was a cloudy day and by the time we broke through the clouds we had already passed the point of amazing views.
Very very nice :))) I love flying :D Take off and Landing always give me the chills :))) Remember back in the day when people used to clap when the plane landed? LOL
People still do that
The only place I've head of that happening is South America.
Sooo beautiful. . i hope i get to go one day😍
Excellent service (Aircraft, food and staff) One of the best landing at Heathrow and San diago airports.
From Chicago but originally from Puerto Rico. Goin to London in 2 weeks for the bears game. Always dreamt of going. Can't wait.
Proud to be Londoner ❤️
Went to london for my very first time in Aug of this year (2018). Was amazed to see it with my own eyes.

missisfreddiemercury I’ve never been, but might be going next summer.
London's way overrated. New York, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, Barcelona: those are *IT.* London? Not really. At least not _anymore._
@Đ.G. BLACKS nope new York sucks
@@carlapontifexbrittromanum7790 atleast London is better then ur country
@MrZMaker Z You don't even know my country, you dummy. And yes, London *$-u-©-K-$* big time.
South east London to West London in 9min 26sec. Try this with your car
I DID THIS ,6 TIMES FRAM SYDNEY. IN THE 1980 s.PLUS STOPOVERS. MEMORIES.
Great video! And that was a smooth landing compared to many I've seen.

I went to London England with my mom two years ago 2019.
My burning desire to visit this airport
Such a beautiful city.......
Anyone still here? I flew up to Heathrow recently. I have a video on my TH-cam channel about it.

Serious question: Has it improved now? I'd be interested in hearing your views.
I am retired now. It did not ease until retirement for me. Others have had better experiences. :)

I am your '500th Liker' if that means anything! Beautiful video. I get soothed by watching aircraft vids on the TH-cams. xD
1:26 isn't far from where I live seeing 02 Arena. Whenever I land back in London I always look out for the main city knowing not far now
4:05 u can see Stamford Bridge

i never visited london.but i think that is a great city.

My first flight was also to London!!!
BUT I 've been at other side of the plane:-(
I live in London and I am increasingly feeling ashamed and guilty how expensive the capital has become for residents and tourists.
The city shouldn't just be enjoyed by the wealthy but all should be welcome.
I agree 150%!
AWESOME!!

Cant wait to go to London next year ❤️
Can't wait to visit London in August 😄
a good movie, it reflects what it should do ;-)
superb video! well done!
