Straight answers
How long does the flight to London take?
About 12 minutes airborne from London Battersea (EGLW) to the approved landing point for London. That is a planning figure, not a schedule: the routing, the slot you are given during an event window, the landing point the authorities approve and the weather on the day all move it, and the performing operator confirms the real number.
When is a helicopter actually worth it here?
During Wimbledon Championships the case is access, not distance. Single-road approaches, event traffic management and parking restrictions turn a short drive into hours, and the helicopter buys back the part of the day you cannot reschedule — arriving for a session, a lunch or a departure slot that will not wait.
It is usually not worth it if your timings are flexible, you are travelling outside the peak arrival and departure windows, or you are one or two people who can share a road transfer — the aircraft is chartered whole, so a small party pays for all of it.
