[4] The heliport, once owned by Westland and then Harrods, is a very small site, making use of a jetty to provide a helipad for take-off and landing, and onshore parking for three to four aircraft, depending upon their size.

[5] Flight conditions and procedures at the heliport prescribe a circuit height 1,000 ft (305 m) above the Thames, in an extended figure-of-eight over the water, to seek to minimise noise pollution for residents in the area and to constrain flight operations to over the river, away from the built-up area.

[7] In 2012 it was bought by the Reuben Brothers, who also own London Oxford Airport,[8] for £35 million.

Edmiston announced in August 2019 that they would be taking over the title sponsorship of the heliport with a restyling of the interior & exterior areas as well as repainting the helicopter landing apron.

On 16 January 2013 a Agusta A109 helicopter outbound from Redhill attempting to divert to London Heliport due to poor weather conditions at Elstree in adverse weather collided with a construction crane and then crashed into the street, killing the pilot and one person on the ground.
