Spotting @ LGW

Ohhh… For the “Good Old Days”, where there were excellent views across the whole airport from the South Terminal Spectator area. Now they’ve built that bleedin’ great extension. 🙁

Both North and south terminals have limited views from airside and non existant views from landside within the terminals.

I would recommend leaving the South terminal by the fire exit stairs next to domestic arrivals which will take you to the service area underneath the terminal. From here turn right as you exit the stars and a 2 minute walk will take you to the end of runway 26.

I have spent many days standing / sitting there and have never been moved on by any authorites.

I think with most airports, you’re best to get out of the terminals and to venture outside in order to get the best views. Not only that, you stand less chance of being told to move on if you are stood about or taking photographs.
