Key observations

Cheapest market this month: Bilbao (Spain) at €33 - direct.
Direct flight coverage: 18 of the top 25routes are non-stop. Heathrow's scale maintains direct connections to destinations that require hub transfers from every other European airport - a meaningful advantage even at peak August pricing.
Geographic spread: The top 25 routes reach 11 countries. Southern Europe and the Mediterranean - Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal - dominate the cheapest corridor from LHR in August, with demand from families and summer holidaymakers at its annual peak.
London airport strategy: These fares are from Heathrow (LHR). For significantly lower prices on the same European routes, check Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN), served primarily by Ryanair and easyJet at prices typically 25-50% below Heathrow on overlapping routes. Average shown here: €60.
Booking tip: August fares are at their annual peak from London - most deals for this month are gone. For September and October travel, fares from all London airports drop substantially while the Mediterranean remains warm. Mid-week departures (Tue-Wed) and weekday returns consistently undercut the premium Friday/Sunday pattern. All prices are per-person one-way fares.
