LCY isn't particularly convenient for many parts of London, but then again nor is LHR.
Just for comparison, you can reach LCY in an hour or less by public transport from everywhere in the unshaded area, assuming an arrival time of 9am:
Not just the 'eastern slums', but but a significant part of the city.

As I don't have a car and live in Hackney, you can see why I like LCY in a way that a driver in Chiswick mightn't.
