Tenerife to London flights

A flight from Tenerife to London takes you to one of London's five airports: Gatwick Airport, London Luton Airport, Heathrow Airport, London Stansted Airport and London City Airport. You might depart from Tenerife-Sur or Tenerife-Norte, reaching London (United Kingdom) in about four hours. Tenerife to London direct flights typically arrive at Gatwick.

Visiting during late spring or early autumn offers milder weather for walking without the peak summer crowds. December is also popular for those wanting to see the festive lights and seasonal markets across the West End.

Tenerife South Airport (TFS) handles most international traffic and cheap flights to London. It uses a single large terminal building for the high volume of passengers heading to the UK, with duty-free shops, restaurants and car hire desks.

Tenerife North Airport (TFN) is smaller and mostly handles domestic flights to mainland Spain or inter-island routes, though it still has essential dining and retail options.

Flights from Tenerife South generally land at three London airports, each offering transport links into the city:

• London Gatwick (LGW): direct Gatwick Express train to Victoria Station
• London Luton (LTN): shuttle via the Luton DART to Luton Airport Parkway station for trains to St Pancras International
• London Stansted (STN): direct Stansted Express train to Liverpool Street

Entry requirements for London

You need a valid passport to enter the United Kingdom from Tenerife, as the Canary Islands sit outside the UK borders. Make sure your passport covers the duration of your stay. Depending on your nationality, you may need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before flying, so check the latest government rules for your citizenship status.

London is packed with world-class institutions like the British Museum and panoramic views from the London Eye. Head down to the South Bank for theatres and markets, or catch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. From the shops of Oxford Street to the history of the Tower of London, the city has plenty of variety to fill a trip.
