Do you have any tips for spotting at EGKK?

Assuming you're on a day trip and the weather is like it is here today, your
best bet is probably to check in online and re-enter the departure area upon
arrival. In the far left hand corner, of the upper level of the South
Terminal (Airside) is a coffee shop/lounge with a "panoramic" corner view of
the 26L touchdown area. Unless anything on the back of the North terminal
doesn't move all day (unlikely), you'll log everything. The down side maybe
having to buy a number of coffees or pastries to stay here!
If you do want to venture outside the "official" viewing area is the end of
26L - a 10 minute walk from arrivals. Head to the easyJet check in area,
then follow the signs for "Concorde House". Go down the steps to Concorde
House, don't go inside, but carry on walking past by about 200/300 yds.
It'll be pretty obvious from this point where the end of 26L is. No
facilities here though, you'll need to head back to the terminal for those.
