Who are we?

London Balloon Flights is the sister company of Exclusive Ballooning. Exclusive Ballooning was established in 1999, and is the leading aerial marketing specialist in the world and operates around fifty hot air balloons for clients on every continent. We are the organisers of the annual Lord Mayor’s Hot Air Balloon Regatta which sees fifty hot air balloons fly over the City of London.

Exclusive Ballooning also encompassed the UK’s largest passenger ride operation which it sold in 2006 in order to focus on global aerial marketing. Ballooning Access was later founded to provide a bespoke and personal hot air balloon flight service, incorporating wheelchair accessible flights.

Exclusive Ballooning have taken hot air balloons to locations such as Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace in London, Brooklyn Bridge and Bryant Park in New York, Disneyland in Paris, Emirates Palace in Dubai and many more.
