London City Airport!!!

Son, I am disappoint. No one said "Gentlemen...blow up your balloons!" then start them off with a pistol shot.

that swinging in the balloons looks like a fair ground ride

That pilot is so dope

Flying a drone over an airport - now that's a rare privilege!

That was beautiful. Thank you for posting. The Don looks absolutely beautiful in the early morning light. Made my heart sing!!!.

Not from London, but familiar with the London City airport area attending a number of conferences a year at Excel and staying nearby. Amazing to see it so still and calm.

How the hell did I miss this I live right by the Thames near Woolwich x.x was this this morning? I was on the DLR at around 7:30 yesterday shame it wasn't on a weekday

What happens if you land on private property or a field without consent?

They clear up and leave fairly quickly. The field they landed in had been harvested so no damage done. Famers have better things to do than sue balloonists!

Bit dangerous, the over head aircrafts going into Heathrow to that high

They stay below the height that aircraft use over London. As do helicopters in the city. In theory a plane could use London City for an emergency landing however the Thames would be a better option if they are far enough east.

Heathrow landings don’t pass straight through London, they enter the circuit or pre approach then land.

"all these people sat in the middle lane" ehhh, they're at a junction, I'd move to the middle lane to keep traffic flowing

Thanks for including my timelapse! A shame that last balloon didn't get off the ground though.

Way cool!

Awesome. Just awesome.

You’ve got the player controls in the thumbnail.

Wow, I’d love to do this.

3:12 Just AMAZING mass departures.

They asked you to put the phone away while landing? Im curious as to why?

@mubd1234

Because hot air balloon landings are often rough and require full attention from the passengers so they don't get injured?

too bad the wind wasn't going west!

Interesting, but the footage of this video did'nt really live up to the normal Londonist standard.

Coalcandy Yea, but it's not easy to take a camera crew in a small basket.

30th anniversary of what again? I mis sed that

Pretty damn sik

Disappointed. not a single balloon reached 400kts

This is another point to make for closing London City Airport, if they have so little air traffic on some days that they can afford to stage a balloon regatta on the runway. Thats a lot of land in the heart of the docklands that they could use for more housing.
