Danny1962,
Here's a couple of sites which include frequencies for LGW, LCY, LHR and many other UK airports. A simple Google search was all that was needed but I cant vouch for them from over here. There may be more recent or updated sites out there. I've been listening to ATC here for decades and it can take some time to become accustomed to the jargon if you're not used to it (you may pick it up quite quickly) but it's absolutely worthwhile. Occasionally listening to pilots/ATC will reveal a new frequency. It's one way to positively identify the various aircraft in your vicinity and identify what they are actually doing especially if equipped with the older mode-c transponders which don't have the same information helpful to us that we need on this site. Fortunately those will be phased out in time;
I'll also include the charts for EGLC which indicate the approach/departure tracks etc but it is out of date (2011) and cant be used for navigation purposes but should suffice for what you may need. They do tend to change gradually over time but surprisingly many don't.
You can find almost any airport in the world simply by googling '(ICAO code) pdf' and searching for the most recent/appropriate file/s. Obviously the code for LCY is 'EGLC.' Most common airport ICAO codes are now included on the map but if one doesn't our mate Google can more often help with that.
'Skyvector' is another worthwhile site to keep up your sleeve for charts; http://skyvector.com/. Here's EGLC and it even includes the frequencies you need (apparently there's 215 UK airports on skyvector);
Regards and good luck with that aircraft,
Gregg
BTW I can listen to the local NSW Police Airwing based nearby at Bankstown airport when they contact ATC as they must during operations (as do all the Rescue/Medivac choppers). Mainly Police choppers but at least one Cessna Caravan used for a variety of operations including speed monitoring on the local freeways/motorways. Keeps me out of the missus' hair.
As for searching the map by airport it's still possible via the little 'wheel' next to the UTC time (top right of map). Select 'filters' and 'add new filter' then one of the menu items is indeed 'airport.'
