LCY excluded through my error, of course it is a LON airport. I'm not sure what relevance "London Bridge" has, road distances have historically been measured to Marble Arch for some gawd foresaken reason, as for rail, well you picks your airport and takes your choice of London terminus.
Adding more and more airports under the LON banner causes nothing but confusion to the poor punter - especially as it is largely unnecessary and serves as little more than a marketing exercise.
