![central london helicopter tour London Sightseeing Helicopter Tour](https://staticcdn.thetourguy.com/presentationfiles/8d40f68b-715b-41be-8bd5-f7f5c4f2c45d/original.jpg)
- Leave from Redhill Aerodome
- See London's top sights from the air
- Experienced pilot
- Pre-flight safety briefing
- Uninterrupted views
- Robinson R44 Helicopter
- The best way to see London
Begin your adventure at the Redhill Aerodrome, on the outskirts of London, where you’ll be treated to picturesque views of an active airfield and take in a short but important safety briefing. Soon thereafter, buckle into the perfect touring helicopter, the Robinson R44, and start your flight over the scenic Surrey countryside.
Next, continue into the heart of London and keep your eye out for the winding River Thames and iconic landmarks like the Houses of Parliament, Millennium Eye, and Tower Bridge. Along the way, delight in expert commentary from your pilot, snap once-in-a-lifetime photos, and appreciate the sprawl of London below—all before landing back at the Redhill Aerodrome 35 minutes later.
London Sightseeing Helicopter Tour Description
Your 35-minute tour includes:
Flight across Central London and Surrey countryside
Detailed commentary from a professional pilot
An unmatched view of iconic London landmarks
Essential safety briefing pre-flight
A comfortable journey in Robinson R44 helicopters ensures a window view for every passenger
Meet at the Redhill Aerodrome
At a predesignated time, typically somewhere between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, arrive at the Redhill Aerodrome to begin your thrilling adventure. As you await your flight, take a moment to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere that the busy runway provides and watch as small planes and helicopters buzz in and out of the area. Then, listen to a short but essential safety briefing before boarding. Your helicopter is the Robinson R44, which seats up to three passengers, allowing everyone to have a window seat.
Fly Over Surrey Countryside and the M25
As the helicopter propellers churn and the ground slowly fades away, find yourself soaring over the picturesque Surrey countryside. These rural landscapes, a blend of emerald fields and scattered settlements, offer a calming start to your flight. Then, before the urban marvels of London come into view, catch sight of the M25, London’s prominent motorway.
Admire Central London From Above
Now for the grand spectacle: a bird’s eye view of Central London! At a soaring height just above the iconic Shard, you’ll witness Central London sprawl below with its mix of centuries-old structures and modern skyscrapers. The Houses of Parliament, Millennium Eye, and Tower Bridge are just a few of the sights you'll hover above. And to make your journey even more memorable, your pilot will provide insightful commentary and share intriguing fun facts along the way.
However, all too soon, it'll be time to begin your descent. Touching back down at Redhill Aerodrome, you'll no doubt leave with a newfound respect for the ever-evolving city of London.

We Asked AI to Take Us On a Tour of Our Cities. It Was Chaos
![central london helicopter tour Image may contain Art Collage Advertisement and Poster](https://media.wired.com/photos/669a5ee7a6239acb841f07a1/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/071924_AI%2520Travel%2520Guide%2520App%25202.jpg)
With high hopes of finding some hidden gems in our home cities and $100 (£77) each burning a hole in our pockets, we—Natasha Bernal in London and Amanda Hoover in New York—asked AI to plan out the perfect day.
We decided to use Littlefoot, an AI-powered local discovery chatbot that can generate experiences in 161 cities around the world. It was created by Bigfoot, a startup founded by former Airbnb executives Alex Ward, James Robinson, and Shane Lykins that purports to enmesh the minds of all the publicly available AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, Anthropic, and Perplexity, in addition to 50 information sources such as Tripadvisor and Google. Bigfoot claims to use three different language models as “AI agents” to create itineraries.
We told Littlefoot our respective starting points, dates, and times, and introduced some caveats: Amanda asked that her New York tour be dog-friendly; Natasha was obsessed with avoiding London’s crowded tourist hotspots.
The results were, frankly, rather mad. Right now, Littlefoot has no concept of time or space or what a human being might find interesting. Its recommendations vary wildly from the incredibly niche (climbing up a hill in South East London) to the wildly vague (going to the London Zoo, no further instruction provided). The same attractions—such as the London Eye, the Namco Funscape arcade in Romford, a cycling studio in Brooklyn—kept coming up in recommendations, to the point that we suspected it might be paid-for advertising. (Bigfoot has confirmed that is not the case and that it has no plans to offer sponsored picks.)
It recommended back-to-back gym sessions in London, a concert and helicopter tour in New York that were out of our budget, restaurants for lunch that didn’t open until dinner time, and itineraries that would have sent us criss-crossing around our respective cities. In London, Bigfoot’s map function showed two out of the four suggested destinations in completely wrong locations, an issue that the company says it is working on.
“While we expect to face typical challenges associated with an early company, we are confident in our ability to meet them as we acquire more resources and continue to refine our approach based on user feedback,” says Bigfoot CEO Alex Ward. “We’re a preseed startup of six, and itineraries aren’t meant to be perfect just yet. But we are working to do everything we can to get there in the not-too-distant future.”
Bigfoot says its features—which are currently very contingent on the location you provide and how you phrase what you’re looking for—have been tested by 70 to 80 alpha users this year, and the company is refining the platform based on feedback.
A Day Around London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
I picked a day centered around the 560-acre sporting village, which features pedal boats, a track cycling arena, and tennis courts. I had never been before and assumed it would be great fun. It wasn’t.
My day started at 10 am at WIRED’s office in Central London. The first stop was in East London, to eat at a place called Pizza Union, which didn’t open until 11 and which Littlefoot claimed had slices priced £6. (It was wrong.) Armed with Google and a comrade, fellow Londoner and WIRED staffer Sophie Johal, I marched to the underground for a 3-mile trip to Aldgate East, a place I can confidently say no one goes to voluntarily.
We stalled until the pizza place opened. I ordered a margarita pizza pie and a bottle of water, and we sat on a wooden bench on the sidewalk, complete with a view of a strip club called White’s. I choked a bit on an inordinately crispy piece of basil.
Then we walked just over a mile to the next stop, the historic Borough food market, near London Bridge. On the way, in the 17th-century church of Saint Magnus the Martyr, we found a 2,000-year-old crusty-looking wooden log randomly tucked in under the entrance way. Were it not for this trip, we might have lived our entire lives never having seen it.
Across London Bridge, we arrived at the market, where we had to navigate around bag-wearing people and other obstacles to find Horn OK Please, a random Indian street-food stall that happened to be one of the only vegetarian eateries in the entire place. We stood next to a trash bin at around midday and ate dosa chaat (a wrap filled with masala potatoes, onion, coriander, and chutneys). I was sweating profusely, felt like I had eaten a brick, and began to worry about whether I would make it to the Olympic Village at all.
We jumped back on the tube and headed in a circle to Trafalgar Square—2 miles away and five minutes from WIRED’s office. We stood in a crowded queue for 10 minutes outside the National Gallery, and after seeing some familiar public art from the likes of Degas, Murillo, Raphael, and Gainsborough, rewarded ourselves with treats from the gift shop (some badges featuring Van Gogh and Manet artwork and the museum logo, and a chocolate coin—the only things we could afford on our budget).
Back on the tube, I took the Elizabeth Line—opened in 2022—for my first time ever, to get to Stratford and the Olympic Park. Severely tired and dehydrated, I led us beyond mega-supermall Westfield, which overlooked a gigantic car park, to a not-very-scenic path near blocks of flats. By that point, we had figured out that the pedal boats weren’t working, that you had to take a training course for the cycling track, and that the tennis courts were unaffordable on our meager remaining budget.
There was no sign of the hideous steel Orbit Tower , or anything else noteworthy for that matter—we just saw blocks of midrise flats and a rather large park. Invoking the spirit of the Olympics and taking advantage of the fact that we were practically alone, we attempted to complete an obstacle course in a nearby fitness playground. (We got stuck on the equipment a few times.)
And that’s how we ended up lost near the Wetlands Walk close to the River Lea, cycling around on the only available rental e-bike I could find. Unfortunately it could only travel at breakneck speed, so I spent about 20 minutes screaming in genuine fear as I hurtled back and forth through the same bit of stinky swampland, with Sophie perched precariously on the fender like a human pannier.
I gave up attempting to find anywhere after it started to pelt down rain, and realized I had paid £6 for the e-bike, for the pleasure of going absolutely nowhere. We never even found the bike track, and were too exhausted to go to our final stop, six miles away at Bradley’s Spanish Bar. Instead I had an ice cream (two scoops: one straciatella, the other chocolate and hazelnut) at a place near the station. I had a cuppa, and at £64 spent, called it a day.
In the darkest moments, I would have described the itinerary as a teeny bit evil and a lot pointless. It would take two minutes with an internet connection to come up with a better plan, but it would not be as chaotic and random—and ultimately unforgettable.
As soon as I got home, I asked ChatGPT to come up with a rival day: It suggested a cultural walk along the South Bank, winding around Big Ben and the London Eye, with stops to enjoy some art and culture along the way. It made sense, but a small part of me—the same one that screeched in delight at seeing a giant slide that we could go on—wonders whether there was some magic in Littlefoot’s mundane (and inane) picks.
A Day Around Washington Square Park and Central Park in New York
I wanted to see whether Littlefoot could do something a little challenging: Plan a day around Manhattan that I could bring my dog, a 22-pound poodle mix named Charlie, along on. Turns out, it couldn’t.
The app gave me recommendations for a park in New Jersey that wasn’t accessible without a car and two restaurants with the word “dog” in the name—although I’m not sure dogs would be allowed inside—and repeatedly tried to persuade me to take a spin class in Brooklyn, I’m assuming because the word “friendly” was in the description. It also highlighted an expensive helicopter tour of Manhattan when I asked for outdoor activities and, at one point, a Noah Kahan concert (sold out, with only pricey resale tickets available).
Sifting through the options took some work and reprompting. Some of the restaurants recommended were closed at the times Littlefoot suggested I go, and they would send me between the city’s boroughs, or even further out of my way—even when I asked for a day in Manhattan that was completely accessible by subway.
I combined and pruned two itineraries to save myself some agony of hours on the subway. I left Harlem at around 8 am and headed to my first stop: the Obelisk in Central Park, a 3,500-year-old monument brought over from Egypt. Charlie was particularly happy with this plan, as we made it to the park during off-leash hours, and he was free to roam the greenery and trails with other dogs.
We walked a mile across Manhattan’s Upper East Side to get to Claire’s Kitchen Cafe, a tiny Mediterranean-inspired spot with outdoor seating that Littlefoot had recommended. It definitely wasn’t a tourist trap, but rather a neighborhood spot. I had a cream cheese and smoked salmon breakfast sandwich and a latte, both of which were good, but not necessarily something I would travel to a new neighborhood to eat.
Charlie and I took the subway downtown and got off near Washington Square Park, our next suggested stop. The park was quieter than normal on a weekday morning, although I saw some probable TikTokkers running up to people on benches to interview them. We walked past the iconic archway and fountain, and stopped at the dog park, where I threw a tennis ball for Charlie.
We got back on the subway and rode to the AI-recommended 9/11 Memorial & Museum—a somber stop mixed in with all the recommendations for parks and pubs. With my dog in tow, I couldn’t go into the museum, but we did walk around the memorial, and Charlie made a few friends with tourists there.
Our last stop was at the Dead Rabbit for lunch. It was a quirky Irish pub with upscale bar food and drinks, and a bunch of dollar bills taped to the shelves holding liquor. It’s been deemed the best bar in the world by some, and luckily, it was dog-friendly, with one little table out front that was empty when I arrived. I had a burger and a drink, which ran me about $50 with tip. (Charlie slept at my feet during lunch, undisturbed by nearby construction sounds, but completely knocked out.)
About five hours later, I was exhausted and had spent $90 between the subway and food. We had traveled from Harlem, toward the top of Manhattan, to the Financial District at the bottom, taking five trains and walking 5 miles to hit Littlefoot’s recommended spots. I had to rely on my own knowledge of the city to create the most efficient route between the various recommendations provided by Littlefoot.
Afterward, I ran a similar prompt through Perplexity’s chatbot, and found an itinerary with more details about prices and how to get around. This wasn’t perfect, either. It recommended I take Charlie to Manhattan’s iconic High Line, which doesn’t allow dogs, and gave vague advice about buying a bagel from a street vendor “nearby” Central Park. But it did give recommendations in several known parts of the city that would keep me under budget.
Littlefoot got me to try some new restaurants and explore some new corners of famous parks—plus, it got me out of the house and away from my routine. But had I followed its recommendations exactly, I may have ended up going to Brooklyn or Queens to find restaurants with their doors closed, or gone way over budget on some experiences. AI might have some new recommendations, but until the technology improves, I’d rather just ask a fellow New Yorker where to go.

Hopefully-healthier twins ramp up for second-half chase of al central title.
The Major League Baseball season resumed Friday, from Seattle to Miami, Toronto to Los Angeles. Everywhere except in the Upper Midwest.
The Twins and Milwaukee Brewers, limited this year by MLB's "interleague rivalry" scheduling format to two-game series, sat out an extra fifth day of the All-Star break Friday. They will begin play Saturday night at Target Field.
A day too late, as far as Rocco Baldelli is concerned.
"Five [days] is pretty long," the Twins manager said last week. "Every single person in Major League Baseball would probably rather not use one of their off days on the Friday after the All-Star break. This is two out of three years [actually three out of four] that we've had this."
But not everyone might agree with him. The Twins, after all, suffered a series of injuries during their final road trip before the break, and while none are expected to be major issues, a little extra rest probably will help them recover more quickly.
"The trips we take, those long trips, the back gets a little tight," said Willi Castro, the lone Twins player who played during the break — albeit for only one All-Star at-bat in Arlington, Texas. "That's normal for an athlete. We're all playing with some issues with our body. These are great off days. We're going to come back and be ready to go."
That would certainly help. Jose Miranda went on the 10-day injured list because of lower back tightness, and the Twins are hopeful he can return over the weekend. Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton didn't start last Saturday or Sunday at San Francisco — Correa because of plantar fasciitis in his right heel, Buxton because of a sore right elbow — but both are expected to return Saturday. Infielders Royce Lewis (adductor), Kyle Farmer (shoulder), Austin Martin (oblique) and pitcher Brock Stewart (shoulder) are all eligible to return from the injured list — Stewart struck out two in a scoreless inning on his rehab assignment with Class AAA St. Paul at Toledo on Friday — and all figure to be ready before the season reaches August.
Kyle Farmer (shoulder), Austin Martin (oblique) and pitcher Brock Stewart (shoulder) are all eligible to return from the injured list — Stewart struck out two in a scoreless inning on his rehab assignment with Class AAA St. Paul at Toledo on Friday
Correa's condition is the most troubling, given how a similar injury in his other foot greatly reduced his productivity in 2023. The All-Star shortstop said he won't make the same mistake of playing through pain.
"Last year, one thing I learned is that people don't care if you go out there and play hurt. They're always going to talk about your performance, and that only," Correa said. "I'm going to make sure that when I'm on the field, I'm not just somebody that's just standing there. I don't want to be just a body on the field. I want to be able to perform to the best of my abilities, like I've done in the first half."
Health will be important, of course, given the challenge ahead of the Twins over the final 10 weeks of the season: catching the Guardians for their second consecutive AL Central championship, which brings with it home-field advantage, or even a first-round bye, in the playoffs. The Twins, who trailed Cleveland by nine games on June 25, cut that deficit in half by the break. They went 11-6 over the past three weeks, while the Guardians stumbled into the break with a 7-11 mark.
And perhaps trailing by 4½ games as the season resumes is an advantage for the Twins. In the 25 full 162-game seasons in which the AL Central has been made up of its current five-team membership, the Twins have won the division eight times — six of them despite not being in first place at the All-Star break. That's more come-from-behind titles than the Guardians, Royals, Tigers and White Sox combined.
The Guardians led the Twins at the break last year, too, albeit only by a half-game. They finished the season 11 games back of the Twins and in third place. This year, they have won all five meetings against the Twins, outscoring them 26-11. Eight games remain between the division rivals: four at Target Field, including a Friday doubleheader to make up an April rainout, from Aug. 9-11, and four more at Progressive Field on Sept. 16-19.
Guardians players understand the importance of those games, and the renewed strength of the AL Central.
"We knew it was going to be a tough division. You see the stuff before the season, predictions, and everybody didn't really respect the division," said David Fry, Cleveland's All-Star utility man. "Now everybody is like, holy cow — we're playing well, the Royals, obviously the Twins, even Detroit has been really tough this year. I think it's going to be one of the toughest divisions. I'm sure we'll have a couple of teams make the playoffs."
• Chris Williams went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBI and the Saints returned from their All-Star break with an 8-6 victory at Toledo, ending a six-game losing streak.
