Skipness,
The country is called England, indeed United Kingdom, London is not merely the capital just for Londoners and/or all the foreign nationals residing there, it is the capital of the people of England, many of which have business to conduct there, and it is only reasonable that they be provided with a reasonable means of transport for getting to and from there and/or to connect with London's world hub.
