You can get flights to Abu Dhabi from London from one airport in the city directly, which is London Heathrow Airport, while there are also several airports that offer indirect routes. Heathrow is a great airport to depart from due to how easy it is to access from the city centre and the facilities it has on offer. You can reach the airport via the Piccadilly Line or Heathrow Express with ease. Alternatively, for those not flying directly, you can travel from Stansted Airport in the north of London, which can be reached via the Stansted Express, or Gatwick in the south of the city, which can be accessed by taking the Gatwick Express. These two airports tend to offer better value fares, as budget airlines operate from the airports.
