I should of course have addressed that question towards Graeme, not
Christopher, as it was he who posed the notion that there are two
central London runways already.

The Mall and Hyde Park, according to Duncan Campbell in War Plan UK.
Mind you I wouldn't want to be landing in the Mall with a crosswind.

Isn't that why The Mall is laid out East-West, in the direction of the
prevailing winds? :-)

Precisely, these Georgians thought of everything. Probably advised by that
nice M Montgolfier.
