FlightPad London Flight Simulator
The FlightPad London Flight Simulator experience provides the opportunity to see and feel what it is like to take the controls of a 737 - 800 passenger jet
Do you ever wonder what all goes on in the cockpit of a passenger jet. The opportunity to experience what it would be like to take the controls of a large passenger jet is not available to the public in most cities, however London does have one such attraction - FlightPad London Flight Simulator. This attraction offers a very realistic and immersive experience and is highly recommended by many of those who have tried it.
FlightPad London's Simulator features a scale replica of a modern Boeing 737 cockpit with virtually every control simulated. More than just a ride, this is a real learning experience. With the exception of a motion platform this simulator is very much like the simulators used to train real pilots. Your experience will include a briefing and instruction from an actual pilot throughout the session. No previous experience is necessary. You will have the opportunity to take-off, fly and land in a very realistic and immersive virtual 737 airliner.
There are a variety of different experiences and price points available. The location is easy to get to via the Underground and only a 4 minute walk from the station.
This is certainly an experience to consider if you are interested in planes and aviation, but in most cases you must book your experience in advance, so be sure to visit their official website linked above.

FlightPad London Flight Simulator Reviews
Rated out of 5
We absolutely loved our experience from start to end. Our flight instructor Nick who is a pilot for one of the big airlines was the best instructor we could’ve asked for. We booked 80 minute experience and time just flew by. Nick was so patient, fun and an absolute natural at teaching us how to fly the plane. We really do believe that our experience was 5* all because of Nick and his kindness. 100% recommend booking the experience! If you have a curious mind and love planes I definitely recommend trying it. You are able to fly anywhere in the world through VR and any weather. The chair and every button is exactly what you’ll find in a real Boeing plane.

Was an excellent experience for my son’s 13th birthday. If you are a fan of planes this will be the ideal gift. Felt like you are on a real plane. The instructor was great and made it fun. Well worth it!

This was an amazing experience especially as someone who’s a massive MSFS fan, saving up for their PPL.
My instructor Dominic (a real 737 pilot) seemed like a really chill guy and welcoming. During the whole time, I did not feel rushed at any point and he was patient, answering any questions I had (both technical and personal) at a nice level of detail and we had a good conversation.
Onto the simulator itself. You’re able to fly anywhere in the world and that Innsbruck Runway 26 Landing was breathtaking. I’m not an airline pilot but the cockpit perfectly matches the 737-800 cockpits that I find online. There was a minor problem with the seat recliner but it didn’t affect my flying in any way.
Overall it’s an unforgettable day and I recommend it to anyone whether your an aviation fan or not. Thank you very much to Flightpad, Dominic and also Amir who went above and beyond by accommodating a specific timing request which was not available on the booking calendar

This was my son's 12th birthday present. His instructor was Umar and the experience was absolutely fantastic. It felt very real and professional and it felt like the real deal. There was another assistant there whose name I forget and she was also so kind and made my son feel at ease. It was hard work to concentrate for that long but he cherished every minute of the flight. Thank you all.

I had a flightpad simulator experience gifted to me for my 15th birthday two years ago but wasn't able to do it due to covid, I managed to attend on the 25th of August 2021 and it was better than I'd imagined it to be.
Domenic was very professional and I learnt a lot from him, he explained everything incredibly well, looking forward to returning.
Thank you for such a great experience!
