Go anywhere you like - most of the affected airfields have hardly any bookings.

Oh, not Northolt though. Helpfully they are closed to civilian traffic during the Olympic period.

I think that would also be my suggestion, particularly with good rail links from Bristol into the centre of London.

For similar reasons, have a look at EGTE Exeter.

a pity therefore, that Bristol involves a tedious drive before you can even get on a train. Daft place for an airport. If available, Filton would be vastly preferable. But as McDoo says, very few slots have been taken up (much like the thousands of unsold event tickets).

Dunsfold has space and plenty of Olympic slots for private aircraft (it is unlicensed). There is an on site Agusta 109 operator for 13 minute onward connection to Battersea.
