Route guide
London to Toronto flights — what you need to know
London to Toronto is the UK–Canada flagship, flown non-stop in around 8 hours by Air Canada and British Airways, with WestJet adding seasonal firepower. It serves one of the widest traveller mixes of any route we sell: family visits to the huge South Asian and British communities across the GTA, business into Canada's financial capital, and leisure travellers starting Niagara or trans-Canada itineraries.
May to October is the sweet season — Toronto summers are glorious and Niagara is in full flow — but it's also when fares peak alongside the school holidays. The value windows are late April and September–October, when the weather still behaves and returns dip £100+ below summer levels. Winter fares are the year's cheapest if you can handle -10°C; Christmas week is the one winter exception, driven by family traffic.
8–12 weeks ahead; July–August school holidays need 4+ months.
Late October to early December, and mid-January to March.
Open-jaw into Toronto, home from Vancouver — ideal for trans-Canada trips.
