London is the centre for low-cost airline service in Europe.
All the major discount airlines operate out of one or more of the
following three London airports: Stansted, Luton and Gatwick.
Public transportation, however, is available to all three airports. The
discount airlines don't offer flights from London Heathrow.

Liverpool and Manchester.
