Current 737 cost index is 10. This equates to 250 IAS from about FL340 but if ATC ask you to fly quicker for sequencing just do it.

The irony is that most of the time London want 280 or 300kts so we will probably burn more fuel in the descent than if we had kept using the old Cost Index which had a more practical descent speed.
