There are a few considerations here. Heathrow and Gatwick have more facilities, but they're very busy airports. Luton (LTN) and Stansted (STN) are quieter. A big factor is how spread out they are around the city. Gatwick is quite a bit south of London, while Luton and Stansted are further north. Heathrow is on the far western outskirts, and London City Airport (LCY) is near central London. Choose the most convenient airport for where you're coming from.

You can choose between two airlines to save around 55% in CO2 emissions. The first is KLM, which offers one-stop flights from Heathrow and London City Airport via Amsterdam. You can also book your flight with Kenya Airways, all leaving from London City. These also stop in Amsterdam.
