While all the airports (Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted) call themselves a London airport, none are actually within London. Originally London was any area with a London postcode which none of the above have. However in modern times London is taken as any area within the M25 motorway which places Heathrow alone within Greater London.
