Never had a problem getting either a transit, practice diversion for a go around, or a routing from PIK to the city centre for some orbits then departing the Zone either along the river through the 05/23 centreline or via the GLA overhead to Greenock to route back down the Clyde which is very scenic.
Obviously pick a quieter time outwith IMO 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm and always give them a call by phone beforehand.

Airpolice – Take Lifejackets and brief for the River Clyde Water Landing sans floats

Edited to add – Transits/Zone entries are almost always not above 2000’ (I’ve heard transits @ 2500’ over the Whitelee Windfarm) but I’m sure if you asked they’d give you higher if you wanted it.
