Noise Complaints
- A helicopter that has been circling above an area for a prolonged period is more than likely to be the Police helicopter or Air Ambulance. Helicopters departing and taking off from the Heliport will not circle over a populated area.
- The Heliport has limited operating hours, if the helicopter is flying before 07:00 and after 23:00 it will be nothing to do with us. The operating hours can be found here (Opening Times | London Heliport | Enabling helicopter travel for 50+ years)
- The air traffic control zone for the Heliport is a circular radius of 2 nautical miles centred on the heliport. Anything outside of this area is outside of our control and is managed by NATS at Heathrow. Further details can be found here (Environment | London Heliport | Enabling helicopter travel for 50+ years) along with our Fly Neighbourly Policy.
- The Heliport does not own or operate any helicopters, if you have a complaint about the actions of a helicopter please send your complaint to the operator.
- There are prescribed helicopter routes that follow the River Thames and surrounding areas. Not all helicopters using these routes are operating to or from London Heliport; some may simply be transiting the area.
If you still wish to make a complaint, please provide as much information as possible about the helicopter causing disturbance.
