London City is better than LHR - same city, excpt with the added challenge of a much steeper approach (5º as opposed to 3º everywhere else) and the fact you get to dodge inbetween buildings on final approach:
5.5 degrees to be exact apparently. :D

Dawn into Cape Town has to be the most spectacular approach I've ever been on in real life.
Making the turn of the Atlantic, having the wing of the A340 drop to reveal table mountain.
mmmm!
Also love going into JFK, coming down over long island, making the long right hand turn to reveal the Manhattan skyline.
This post is worth what you paid for it.
