Is it just no flight for helicopters? How about blimps? There's really got to be a solution here. It's a technical problem and we're technical people.

In general getting permission from ATC for flights over London is non-trivial (primarily because it is sufficiently densely populated that any emergency, especially at low altitude, is likely going to end badly).

You could tether a blimp. I just saw it done a day before yesterday night here.
