Battersea to Penzance by helicopter is about 218 nautical miles (403 km) in a straight line. The flight typically takes 95 to 120 minutes in the air, depending on the helicopter, the routing and the wind. Penzance is the main town of west Cornwall, so the flight crosses almost the whole of southern England.
Battersea to Penzance by helicopter: distance and flight time
The train from London to Penzance takes about five and a half hours, and the road is longer still. A helicopter flies the 218 nautical miles directly. Penzance Heliport, about a mile north-east of the town, is open and has two pads. Its own website gives opening hours of 08:00 to 17:00 for day flying under visual flight rules, and it accepts visiting pilots by prior permission.
The town is the gateway to the Isles of Scilly, and it is home to the Jubilee Pool, a Grade II listed Art Deco seawater lido that opened in 1935. A flight leaves you more time to enjoy both. Plan the timings with care, because the heliport’s hours are limited.
