Storm Eunice: Radio caller suggests 'stay at home order' Flights from London City have been cancelled until 16.30 this afternoon. More than 80 British Airways flights have so far been cancelled from the two airports. Passengers travelling from Heathrow have been advised to double-check the status of their flights before travelling to the airport. Customers flying from Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted have also been warned of delays and cancellations. This comes after the Met Office issued a rare red warning for wind across the capital. Wind speeds are expected to reach up to 100mph in some areas, with widespread gusts of 60-70mph. The forecaster has warned that the strong winds will bring with it a "danger to life" as a result of flying debris and damage to buildings and homes, including roofs being blown off and power lines brought down. It also said that roads, bridges and railway lines will be closed, causing delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights.
