This is part of the "apron" (tarmac) at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL), with planes parked at "medium" gates on the left and "heavy" gates on the right.

You can see several examples of the now-abandoned British Airways "Utopia" ethnic-themed liveries on the vertical stabilizers (tail), including "Waves of the City" (second from right), "Blomster" (second from left), and the one which would go on to become the standard British Airways tail livery when the "Utopia" designs were abandoned, the new "Union Flag" design (third from left and the one on the right). There's also one plane with the older version of the "Union Flag" design which they used in the late 1980s and the 1990s before switching to the "Utopia" tails. And there's a KLM plane on the left.
