Travelling by air
Biggin Hill is the News Shopper's local airport, but other major airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick are also within easy reach.
Biggin Hill has an illustrious history, but is nowadays known for being a convenient local airport for south London, from where a flight can be chartered to anywhere in the world.
The airport is also known for its spectacular annual air fair - one of the top events on the aviation calendar. The show was sponsored by News Shopper once again this year.
