Actually, there is no city cheaper than London to fly into as there are absolutely no taxes or fees associated with London [b]arrivals[/i].
Actually, it is rather expensive to fly into London. The same plane that flies into London is going to have to fly out, and the airline is going to distribute the cost of the taxes incurred by the departing flight over all passengers in both directions.
But to answer the question, many European cities are cheaper to fly into than London.
If you book
award travel from the U.S. to LON using AA miles on AA, or DL miles on DL, or Star Alliance miles on UA or US, you'll pay just a few dollars for flying into London; do an open-jaw redemption to fly back from some other European country, and you may also encounter (relatively) low fees, depending on the country and/or the class of service. I think Spain has relatively low departure taxes, for example.
If we're talking about cash tickets, that may or may not be a different story.
