I did my University dissertation looking at the inflexibility of London's major airports coping with additional movements during the Olympic Games.
Didn't look at airspace but as far as runway capacity goes, Heathrow and Gatwick have got their hands tied so to speak.
Luton, Stansted, Southend, Biggin, Oxford etc... are the ones having to essentially bail them out.
Brilliant deduction - and they say a university degree is not what it used to be!
