Probably a tad higher frequency at LGW due to the extremely high number of movements on that single runway, not to mention the turbulences in short finals in certain wind situations.
That said, i used to have roughly one GA per year in the first 15 years of airline flying, None in the last 5 years. That break in trends might have been caused by a much higher focus on being stabilized and flying conservative approaches. Nearly had one the other way, quite heavy turbulences during approach, we had a few fun days of high winds, always a pleasure to fly that.
