}}London Heliport {{Airport codes||EGLW}}, previously called Battersea Heliport and currently known officially as the NetJets London Heliport for sponsorship reasons, is London's only licensed heliport. The facility, which was built by W. & C. French and opened on 23 April 1959,[1] is located in Battersea on the south bank of the River Thames, {{Convert|3|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} southwest of Westminster Bridge and between Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Railway Bridge.[2]

The heliport, once owned by Westland and then Harrods, is a very small site, making use of a jetty to provide a helipad for take-off and landing, and onshore parking for three to four aircraft, depending upon their size. The heliport provides landing, parking and refuelling services between 08:00 and 21:00 (flights are permitted between 07:00 and 23:00), albeit parking is normally restricted to smaller helicopter categories.[3]

Flight conditions and procedures at the heliport prescribe a circuit height {{Convert|1000|ft|abbr=on|0}} above the Thames, in an extended figure-of-eight over the water, to seek to minimise noise pollution for residents in the area and to constrain flight operations to over the river, away from the built-up area. Ground running of rotors is restricted to a maximum of five minutes for the same reason.[4]

In 2003 London Heliport was acquired by Weston Homes.[5] In 2012 it was bought by the Reuben Brothers, who also own Oxford Airport,[6] for £35 million. In 2016, the heliport's official name became the NetJets London Heliport, after the private jet company signed a branding deal with the owners.[7] In the same year the heliport's 500,000th movement occurred.[7]

The nearest main line railway station is {{rws|Clapham Junction}} and the nearest London Underground station is {{lus|Fulham Broadway}}.

Accidents and incidents

On 16 January 2013 a helicopter diverting to London Heliport in adverse weather collided with a construction crane and then crashed into the street, killing the pilot and one person on the ground. This was the first fatal helicopter crash anywhere near the heliport since records began in 1976.[8]

London Heliport has a fully licensed rescue and firefighting service who are on duty for all aircraft movements at the port as well as providing an emergency response to any helicopter incident within the London area. The Heliports Fire Service also conducts regular training alongside their colleagues in the London Fire Brigade and RNLI and offer training in helicopter emergencies to any emergency service.[9]
