Upon exiting Emirates Greenwich Peninsula station, we stumbled upon Emirates Aviation Experience just beside it. It’s a small facility bringing insight into the world of aviation. Being an aviation enthusiast and a radio control flyer, it naturally got my attention. With an admission fee of £3 in we went.

Inside, you’ll get an insight into the operations and modern achievements of commercial air travel. It also houses two each, a B777 & A380 flight simulator. At £45 for a 30 minutes simulator experience, that’s heavy on the pocket. All-in-all, if you’re a r/c flyer like me, you wouldn’t miss much skipping this attraction.
