Why people fly Lahore to London
Punjab has deep links with the UK through generations of migration, and Lahore families often have cousins, parents or children living in London and the Midlands. Weddings, Eid, graduation ceremonies and summer holidays drive much of the travel. Students and young professionals also use this route for postgraduate study, internships and conferences, while others come for the city's theatre, football and shopping.
Best time to travel
Summer is the most popular time, when schools in Lahore break and London enjoys long evenings and open-air events. Late September suits students beginning a new term. Winter brings a cosy city feel, with December markets and festive lights. Eid and the summer months tend to be busiest, so it helps to check options early.

Allama Iqbal International Airport, or LHE, serves Lahore and much of northern Punjab, and is one of Pakistan's busiest international airports.

Planning tips
Review the official UK government guidance on visas and entry before booking, since requirements can change. Keep copies of your passport, invitation letters if you have them, and accommodation details. London is cooler than Lahore for most of the year, so pack warm layers. If you are continuing to Birmingham, Bradford or elsewhere, look at train times from London in advance.
