Gatwick Airport has been described as ‘The London Airport it’s ok to like’.

Writing in his book Nomad, Alan Partridge, played by Steve Coogan, declares his love for the airport, mentioning its state-of-the-art monorail system and its elegant perimeter road.

He has less affectionate words for Heathrow which has recently been granted a 3rd runway, simply describing it as not very nice – although in more colourful terms.
