I seem to recall it flew over London, possibly landed Heathrow?
As a kid I remember something on the news and was looking out for it but never saw it.

From what I've read it arrived in Fairford before heading to the Paris airshow and returned via Stansted and as far as I can work out, it did flypasts of Heathrow, Birmingham & Manchester and I guess Glasgow on June 7th 1983
Some more great photos here

I remember bunking off work at RAF Hullavington to go to RAF Fairford to see it land and park up.
