From the Wikipedia article
The Waterloo Air Terminal was a passenger reception, check-in facility and heliport on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It was used by British European Airways (BEA) and other European airlines between 1953 and 1957, when it was replaced by the West London Air Terminal. Passengers checked in, were issued with a boarding card, and were transported to either London (now Heathrow) Airport or Northolt Airport using a fleet of coaches.

Background
Architecture
The London County Council had plans to re-develop the South Bank site, and BEA notified the council that it would hand back the site in 1957 when a new West London Air Terminal was built to replace it. The new terminal was opened on 6 October 1957, and the Waterloo Air Terminal was closed.
