Just heard on the local radio that LCY is currently closed. Apparently unexploaded WWII ordinance has been found during construction.

Check with your airline is the advice.

Edited to add: (From the BBC) Docklands Light Railway services between the airport and Woolwich Arsenal have also been suspended

All LX flights today from Geneva are cancelled.

Essentially, about 60 per year.
