• Full hour flight
• Option for lunch in the Cotswolds
• See London in a map-like format

First, you fly over the English countryside towards the Thames Valley. You cruise over the Cliveden House Hotel estate and Stoke Park. Before a short hover over the world-famous Pinewood Studios, where you will see the giant "Bond" sound stage with the blue screen. We head down to below 1,000 feet briefly over Kew Gardens and various historic houses on the River Thames banks. You start to see the city unfold before your eyes; it is an incredible sight. We rise to 1,500 ft, and manoeuvre left and right following the river's course as we enter London.

London is much like a map below us with its familiar shapes of parks and palaces. You see the Albert Hall, Harrods, and appreciate Buckingham Palace's scale - Big Ben is just below with the rotating London Eye opposite.

The giant buildings in the financial district reveal themselves, and you will marvel at majestic St Paul's Cathedral with its enormous dome. You fly over Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and London Bridge before heading to the Docklands.

The aircraft depending on flight plans will make a wide left turn over Canary Wharf and the Olympic Park before following the old Roman road heading north-west back to the countryside.

You have the option to enjoy lunch in the Cotswolds before heading back to your hotel.
