Cheap flights from Paris to London from £28

Paris has three international airports, Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport, 16 miles to the north, Orly Airport, 8 miles south and Beauvais-Tillé Airport, 53 miles northwest. Orly was the main airport of Paris before Charles de Gaulle Airport was opened in 1974. Named after the founder of the fifth republic and former president of France, Charles de Gaulle Airport is Europe's second busiest airport after London Heathrow.

Formerly seized in June 1940 during the Battle of France, Beauvais-Tillé civilian airport is now primarily served by budget airlines. Most cheap flights from Paris to London and other European destinations leave from there. Despite its distance from Paris, it is the tenth busiest airport in France.

Flights from Paris to London may leave from one of Paris' three main airports. Public transport is the quickest and easiest way to get there. For Charles de Gaulle take the SNCF main line to Terminal 2 or regional RER line to terminals 1 and 3. Alternatively there's the Roissybus service from Paris Opera Station, 350 bus from Paris Gare de l'Est or 351 bus from Paris Nation. Bus Service Lines 2 and 4 also connect. Orly can be reached via line B on the RER transit railway, which also interconnects with the metro. A shuttle train from Antony Station then links to the airport. For Beauvais, take the direct bus from Pershing bus station.

London is an adrenaline-charged mix of history, buzzing street-life, cutting-edge fashion and culture. Its past is visible from Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament to streets around the City of London and Pudding Lane where the great fire of London started. The fairly compact centre means you can visit many of the sights and museums on foot or via the underground. Post-sightseeing, catch your breath in one of the verdant parks, or head north from Regent's Park to browse the markets in Camden Town before soaking up its eclectic nightlife. Back in the centre, Soho and the West End provide entertainment in which to revel, from live jazz to world-class musicals.

Arrivals of flights to London from Paris may arrive into either of London's five main airports located in and around the city. There are easy train options from each airport. From Heathrow (west) take the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station (15-20 minutes) or the Piccadilly Line on the underground (40 minutes). From Gatwick (south) take the Gatwick Express or local Thameslink services to London Victoria (30-40 minutes). Stansted (north east) has a direct train to Liverpool Street (about 40 minutes), while Luton (north west) has a combined shuttle bus (10 minutes) and then direct train to St Pancras from Luton Airport Parkway Station (about 35 minutes). London City Airport is already in the city centre.
