London’s Heathrow recently broke a 12-month record with over 81 million passengers flying through the airport. Heathrow also had its busiest May ever, with 7.2 million passengers. It’s the first time May numbers have ever surpassed seven million.
Heading into the summer travel season, London has been top of the charts for international bookings. For example, Chase Travel shared their most booked destinations internationally, and London took the top spot, followed by Paris, Tokyo, Rome, and Cancun. The airport expects to break more records this summer, estimating it will see roughly 30 million pass through.
This summer, London is also home to major tourist events beyond people looking to sightsee throughout the city. Fans of Taylor Swift who are traveling to London for the run of the Eras Tour at the Wembley Stadium in June and August may want to plan ahead, as the concerts take place during a peak time of summer travel.
