Many Heathrow passengers come from locations other than Central London.
I live in West London, and Heathrow is far more convenient than any
other airport. Gatwick is only good for people near Victoria or
Thameslink stations.


Not so. Gatwick is as convenient to get to and from as Heathrow for us in
Cambridge.


And Birmingham even more convenient (by road anyway, it probably ties
with Gatwick or Heathrow by train from Ely, except at unsocial hours
when the train services deteriorate).


Rail access to Birmingham airport from Cambridge is much worse and I would
never drive to any airport because of the parking charges.
