Post Approach to London City

I have flown from EDI to London City on several occaisons, with KLM-UK when they still operated the route, on a BAe 146. On every occaison the descent on final approach into London City seemed to be much steeper comapred with the landing at EDI on the return leg of the journey. Approach seemed to be with the nose quite steeply down, with the aircraft flaring just before touch down. What is the particular reason for this, and is it a practice unique to LCY or is it operated at other airports also?
