The London Gliding Club (LGC) is a members' club whose airfield is located at the foot of the Dunstable Downs. Many privately owned gliders are based there. It has the facilities to train pilots in powerless flight, and in the skills necessary to fly cross country using nature's sources of energy. Aerobatics and instructor training are also available. The LGC is open 364 days a year and is the second largest and one of the oldest Gliding Clubs in the United Kingdom, smaller only than Lasham Gliding Society. The club provides gliding courses, one day courses and trial lessons for members of the public.

In 2024 the restaurant was taken over by For The Love of Food Catering Ltd^[1], operating as the "Fly By Cafe". The caterers offer a large selection of quality food and beverages and are open daily to both the public and to members of the club.
