I have mentioned this in another post, but this is a part of our trip this coming July which I am still unsure about. We will be flying from Zurich to either Heathrow or London City airport, then would like to go to Norwich. The reason we are not thinking of staying in London overnight is because we will be in London for several days earlier in the summer. Will this be a very long day? Is one airport preferable for continuing on to Norwich? We will be taking the train after we arrive in London, to Norwich.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can fly to Norwich itself via Amsterdam with KLM. Maybe pricey but quick.
Alternatively Stansted (STN) is the nearest London airport and has direct trains to Norwich in about 2 hours or less.
Both options much easier than routing through central London.

You can reach Norwich by direct train from London Liverpool Street Station, which is quick and easy from London City Airport. Take the DLR from the airport to Bank Station, and either walk or take a taxi to London Liverpool St. Google map says it is 0.4 mile, a 9-minute walk.
Or you could walk from the airport to Custom House Station and take the Elizabeth Line right to Liverpool St. tube station, and walk to the train station from there.

Another route from LCY to Norwich is the DLR to Stratford then train direct from Stratford to Norwich in 1 hour 50 minutes.
