And as I have occasion to know, LON is any London airport while LHR is
Heathrow, LGW is Gatwick, STN is Stansted, LTN is Luton, and LCY is
London City Airport.

If you just want a flight to London, it's very useful to be able to
type LON in the route finder.

(Seven London railway termini also have codes in this system, for the
purpose of booking airport transfers I assume --- I've never seen them
come up in a route finder search).
