Hello.
I learned that you can get visas on arriving on an airport. Is it available in England too? What should be done for it?

I'd suggest you consult the UK Government's webpage.

No, why?

Here it says something:

Leaving the airport

Apply for a Visitor in Transit visa if you’ll be going through UK border control but leaving the UK within 48 hours.

You can also apply for a long-term Visitor in Transit visa if you can prove you need to frequently pass through the UK over a longer period.
Fees

Direct Airside Transit visa (DATV) - £30
Visitor in Transit visa - £56

I don't know if I can stay for one additional day

I think it would be safe to assume that they wouldn't say 48 hours if they mean 72 hours. If you are entering the UK for the purposes of visiting the UK then you are also presumably not "in-transit", which is just passing through to get somewhere else.

If you don't have papers valid to enter the UK, you won't even be allowed on the plane.

I'm aware that Turkey allows visitors from the UK and presumably elsewhere to buy a visa on entry, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

'In transit' means awaiting a connecting flight while travelling from one country to another. Arriving from and departing to the same country is a visit and you will need an appropriate visa.

You must have a valid visa before you travel to the UK.

That's probably why there is no direct flight between Tehran and London, for the time being

From many places but not from everywhere. If you arrive in Turkey on a Bermuda passport without a visa you will be thrown into a police cell, as four members of the Olympiad party proved in 2012.

I could go to Turkey. Iranians can go to Turkey without a Visa.
