London City Airport (LCY) has a very short runway with an approach right next to houses and apartment buildings. If the weather is very windy, especially with cross-winds, they are quick to cancel or divert flights.
I was once in a plane that had three landing attempts there aborted at the last second before eventually diverting to Southend Airport. The plane was bobbing around like a cork on the end of a string, quite a few passengers were airsick from the wild turbulence or screaming hysterically convinced we were all about to die.
