I was flying British Airways today and meant to land at City airport around 12:30pm but was diverted to Stansted. The pilot said there was a "major incident" so after flying around for about 15 min we were then forced to land at Stansted.
I can't find any information online on Twitter, the news, etc. I received an email from BA apologizing and citing a "temporary runway closure" at City airport.
I'm curious if anyone has any insight on what happened? It seemed quite strange tbh
Probably another delayed flight. Heathrow's got nothing on LCY for delays, amirite?

Begin your culinary journey in Borough Market, London's oldest food market at 8 Southwark Street, SE1 1TL. Open Monday to Saturday, it offers everything from fresh oysters at Richard Haward's Oysters to artisan cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy. Arrive early on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
🥟 Street Food Hotspots
Head to Dinerama in Shoreditch (19-23 Bethnal Green Road, E2 7DJ) for a curated street food experience with stalls like Bleecker Burger and Yum Bun. Open Thursday to Saturday evenings, burgers start at £8 and bao buns at £6. Alternatively, visit Mercato Metropolitano in Elephant and Castle (42 Newington Causeway, SE1 6DR) for global street food in a former church.
🍜 Best for Asian Cuisine
For exceptional ramen, visit Kanada-Ya in Soho (64 St Giles High Street, WC2H 8LE), where a bowl of tonkotsu ramen costs around £13.50. For dim sum, book a table at Yauatcha in Soho (15-17 Broadwick Street, W1F 0DL), with dumplings from £8 per basket. Both are Michelin Bib Gourmand rated.
🥩 Classic British Fare
For a traditional Sunday roast, book at The Harwood Arms in Fulham (27 Walham Grove, SW6 1QR), London's only Michelin-starred pub, with roasts from £28. For fish and chips, visit Poppie's in Spitalfields (6-8 Brushfield Street, E1 6AN), where a cod and chips meal is around £14.50.
🌮 Hidden Neighborhood Gems
Explore Brixton Village Market (Brixton Station Road, SW9 8PR) for diverse eats like Kricket's Indian-inspired small plates or Mama's Jerk's Caribbean dishes. Most mains are under £12. In Hackney, visit Broadway Market (E8 4QJ) on Saturdays for stalls like Leila's Shop's seasonal produce and the famous Beigel Bake's salt beef bagels at £5.50.
💰 Budget-Friendly Eats
Grab a £4.50 falafel wrap from Pilpel in the City (38 Brushfield Street, E1 6AT) or a £6.50 roti from Roti King in Euston (40 Doric Way, NW1 1LH). For a cheap lunch, visit Franco Manca pizzerias across London for sourdough pizzas starting at £7.95.
🍰 Sweet Treats and Desserts
Indulge in a salted caramel brownie from Crumbs & Doilies in Soho (1 Kingly Court, W1B 5PW) for £4.50. For afternoon tea, book at Sketch in Mayfair (9 Conduit Street, W1S 2XG), where the experience starts at £75 per person. For a more affordable option, try the cakes at Konditor & Cook (multiple locations) from £3.50.
🍺 Best Evening Spots
End your day at The Culpeper in Spitalfields (40 Commercial Street, E1 6LP), a gastropub with a rooftop bar and seasonal British menu; mains around £18. For a lively atmosphere, visit Dishoom in Shoreditch (7 Boundary Street, E2 7JE), serving Bombay-style comfort food until late, with small plates from £6.
This is a solid guide, you've covered a lot of ground. I'd add that if you're in the Borough Market area on a weekday morning, grab a bacon butty from the stall under the railway arches on Stoney Street, it's about £5 and much better than queuing at the market's more famous spots. The Harwood Arms is a good shout for a roast, but you really need to book that one at least a month ahead, especially on a Sunday. For a more casual but still proper Sunday lunch, I've had great luck at The Marksman in Hackney, their dripping roast potatoes are something else.
