In looking at the regions listed, via flyctl, I see ‘lhr’ listed.

But lhr is not on [https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/](https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/) …

Have you added a London region? That would be handy. LHR is _normally_ the code for that … 🙂

We haven’t _officially_ added a London region, but we’ve soft launched it. Right now it should only be a backup for most apps since routing will have to go through AMS/FRA/MRS to get there. New apps can actually route directly to London (or if you add an IP address) now, older IPs will be switched over in the next few weeks.

There are other cities too. They’re like easter eggs. 🙂
