the LTMA already suffers an inordinate amount of infringers (though it has improved drastically over the past 2 years). These infrngers tend to be from local airfields that you would expect to know better... throw into the mix people flying around who don't have a clue about the airpace and it could be fun.
As there is so much Class A airspace around London, VFR is locked out. Pilots are left fending for themselves around such a complex environment.

But if the local airfields could have (and find means of funding) a tower and approach control, arriving and departing aircraft would be sent on appropriate routes under control until safely clear of the area.

Out of interest, has anyone considered Class B or C airspace?
