Excellent experience with RB Airport Transfer. Communication was clear, the driver was professional and the journey from Stansted was smooth. A reliable service at a fair price.

We booked an early morning transfer from Gatwick to London and everything went perfectly. The driver was friendly, punctual and helped with our luggage. Would definitely use RB Airport Transfer again.

London City Airport Transfers

London City Airport sits inside the Royal Docks, closer to the City of London and Canary Wharf than any other airport serving the capital. It is smaller and quicker than Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted, built around one compact terminal, and used heavily by people flying to and from Europe's financial centres for the day.
The Royal Britain Airport Transfer runs fixed price, pre-booked transfers to and from London City Airport, with real time flight tracking, meet and greet at arrivals, and a driver who already knows exactly where to be. Prefer to talk it through? Call +44 203 925 0757 or message us on WhatsApp. Someone is on the line around the clock.

London City Airport Transfers: Fixed Price Taxi and Chauffeur Service

Whether you are catching an early departure to Zurich for a meeting, landing back from Amsterdam late on a Friday, or bringing the family home from a city break, one fixed price agreed before you travel removes the part of the journey you cannot otherwise plan around: the fare. No meter, no surge pricing, and nothing extra to settle at the kerb.
Because London City is smaller than London's other airports, the detail matters more, not less. The drop off area now carries a charge, pick up happens somewhere different to drop off, and the airport keeps a different pattern of opening hours across the week than most people expect. Getting these details right on your behalf is exactly what a booked driver is for.

Why Choose The Royal Britain Airport Transfer for London City Airport?

  • Fixed prices agreed upfront, including London City Airport's drop off charge and the London ULEZ, so nothing extra is asked of you at the terminal.
  • Licensed drivers who know the Royal Docks, the routes through the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels, and the quickest way into Canary Wharf or the City at busy times.
  • Real time flight tracking on every pickup, so your driver adjusts automatically to your actual landing time.
  • Meet and greet at arrivals, with your driver waiting inside the terminal holding your name.
  • Free waiting time built in as standard, so clearing the terminal does not cost you extra.
  • Door to door service, from your home, hotel or office straight to the terminal, and the same in reverse.
  • A fleet sized to the journey, from a single saloon for one business traveller to a minibus for a visiting team.
  • Available 24 hours a day, every day, matched to LCY's early starts and evening arrivals.

About London City Airport

London City Airport (LCY) is one of the UK's smallest and busiest business airports, handling around 3.6 million passengers a year through a single runway and a single, compact terminal in the Royal Docks, in the London Borough of Newham. It sits roughly 6 miles east of the City of London and around 3 miles east of Canary Wharf, which is why it is the airport of choice for so much financial and professional travel into London.
The route map reflects that: Frankfurt, Zurich, Amsterdam, Dublin, Luxembourg, Milan and Edinburgh, alongside a growing number of leisure routes. With only 18 gates a short walk from security, LCY is generally one of the quicker UK airports to move through, from landing to reaching the kerb.

Drop Off and Pick Up Arrangements

From 6 January 2026, London City Airport introduced a drop off charge for the first time, bringing it in line with every other major London airport. The charge is currently £8 for the first five minutes, then £1 for each additional minute, up to a maximum stay of 10 minutes, enforced by camera rather than a barrier. Blue Badge holders are exempt. Your fixed fare with us already includes this charge, so you are not asked for anything extra when your driver drops you at the terminal.
Picking someone up works differently. There is no free waiting directly outside the terminal doors. Arriving passengers are instead collected from the Short Stay car park, a short walk from arrivals, which carries its own separate charge. Because we track your flight and time the pickup to your actual landing, your driver is not sitting in that zone longer than needed, and any charge involved is already covered in your fixed fare.

Opening Hours

London City Airport does not run to the same pattern as Heathrow or Gatwick. It typically opens from 04:45 to 22:00 Monday to Friday, closes considerably earlier on Saturdays at around 13:00, and opens later on Sundays from around 10:30. If you are travelling on a Saturday afternoon or evening, or catching an early Sunday flight, it is worth checking your exact flight time against these hours, since LCY simply does not run flights outside them the way the clock airport would.

Getting to London City Airport: DLR or a Private Transfer

London City Airport has its own DLR station at the terminal, on the Beckton branch, with trains roughly every 8 to 15 minutes and a fast run to Canning Town, where you can change onto the Jubilee line for Canary Wharf and Central London. For a solo traveller with hand luggage and no time pressure, it is genuinely hard to beat on cost, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise.
Where it gets harder is everything else. A change of train at Canning Town means stairs, a platform and a wait, less appealing with hold luggage, young children, or a suit you would rather arrive in unrumpled. Groups change the maths quickly too: three or four passengers, each with a case, is rarely cheaper or easier than one fixed price car straight to the door, and the timetable will not adjust if your flight lands late.
There is also a taxi rank outside the terminal, a fair option if you have not booked ahead and do not mind a metered fare and whatever queue is in front of you. A pre booked transfer removes that variable. Your price is fixed before you land, your driver is already tracking your flight, and there is no queue to think about.

Popular London City Airport Transfer Routes

  • London City Airport to Canary Wharf: around 3 to 4 miles, typically 15 to 20 minutes, one of the shortest and most requested journeys we run from this airport.

  • London City Airport to the City of London: around 6 miles, usually 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic through the Blackwall or Silvertown tunnel.

  • London City Airport to Central London and the West End: around 9 miles, typically 30 to 45 minutes.

  • London City Airport to Stratford and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: around 5 miles, usually 15 to 25 minutes.

  • London City Airport to Greenwich: around 4 miles, typically 15 to 20 minutes, a popular route for visitors extending a trip.

  • Heathrow Airport: a longer cross London run, useful for connecting between the two airports without the DLR and Tube changes involved.

  • Gatwick Airport, Luton Airport and Stansted Airport: direct airport to airport transfers for onward connections, priced as a fixed fare the same way as any other journey.

Transfers for Business Travellers

London City exists largely because of the demand it serves: fast, predictable travel between European business centres and the City or Canary Wharf. Punctual pickups, drivers who already know the quickest route into either district at busy times, and a quiet, private car if you need a call or a last read through notes before you arrive. For clients who travel this route often, a corporate account keeps booking and invoicing straightforward across regular journeys.

Transfers for Families and Leisure Travellers

Plenty of journeys from London City are not business at all. Families heading home from a short European break, groups visiting the O2 or ExCeL, or anyone who would rather not manage cases, buggies and a DLR change after a flight. Child seats are available on request at no extra cost, and vehicles are sized properly for luggage rather than just passenger count.

Meet and Greet Service

Meet and greet means your driver comes to you inside the terminal rather than you having to find them outside. On arrival, your driver waits in the arrivals area holding a board with your name, helps with your luggage, and walks you to the vehicle. Because London City has a single, compact terminal, this is a genuinely simple process here, with no confusion over which building or pickup point applies. It is particularly useful if you do not know LCY well, are travelling with young children, or are carrying a lot of luggage.

Flight Monitoring

You give us your flight number when you book, and from there our system tracks its real time status. If your flight lands early, your driver adjusts. If it is delayed, your driver adjusts too, and you will not be charged extra for a late landing outside your control. The same applies for departures, where we account for current road conditions on the approach to LCY so you reach the terminal with time to spare.

Our Vehicles

We size the vehicle to the journey rather than the other way round. A saloon or estate suits a solo traveller or couple with standard luggage. An executive car suits business travel where the vehicle itself matters. A 6 or 7 seat MPV works well for a family or small group, and an 8 or 16 seat minibus, or a 24 seat coach, covers larger teams, wedding parties or group travel booked as one journey rather than several separate taxis. All vehicles are modern, air conditioned and maintained to the standard required for licensed passenger transport. Child seats can be requested at no additional charge.

London City Airport Transfers FAQs

How much does a taxi from London City Airport to Central London cost?

There's no single set fare, as pricing depends on vehicle type, time of day and exact destination. At The Royal Britain Airport Transfer, you get a fixed price with no hidden charges before you travel — get an instant quote on our website.

How much is a transfer from London City Airport to Heathrow or other UK airports?

Airport-to-airport pricing depends on the route, vehicle type and traffic conditions. We offer fixed-price transfers between London City Airport and Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Bristol and Cardiff, confirmed before you travel.

Is meet and greet available at London City Airport?

Yes — your driver waits for you in the arrivals area holding a name board and helps with your luggage to your vehicle.

Is it easy to get a taxi at London City Airport?

Yes — London City Airport has a taxi rank right outside arrivals. For a guaranteed fixed price and no waiting, pre-booking with us is a simpler alternative to the rank.

How far is London City Airport from Canary Wharf and Central London?

London City Airport is one of the closest London airports to Canary Wharf, around 4–5 miles away. Journeys to Canary Wharf typically take 15–20 minutes, to the City of London 20–30 minutes, and to Central London 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic.

What is the cheapest way to get from London City Airport into the city?

Public transport — the DLR connects directly from the airport and is usually the cheapest option for solo travellers with light luggage. For groups, families or anyone with luggage, a pre-booked fixed-price transfer is often better value and more convenient door-to-door.

Is there a taxi rank at London City Airport?

Yes, a taxi rank sits outside the terminal for anyone who has not booked ahead. Fares there are metered and depend on availability at the time you arrive. Booking a fixed price transfer in advance means you know the cost before you travel and your driver is already tracking your flight.

How much is the London City Airport drop off charge now?

London City Airport introduced a drop off charge from 6 January 2026, currently £8 for the first five minutes and £1 a minute after that, up to a maximum stay of 10 minutes. Picking someone up uses a separate Short Stay car park with its own charge. Either way, this is already included in your fixed fare when you book with us.

What is the difference between a London City Airport taxi and a private transfer?

A taxi from the rank is metered and available on arrival, with the fare depending on traffic and time of day. A private transfer is booked and priced in advance, with your driver tracking your flight and waiting specifically for you, rather than whoever happens to be next at the rank.

Does London City Airport operate the same hours every day?

No, It typically opens from 04:45 to 22:00 Monday to Friday, closes considerably earlier at around 13:00 on Saturdays, and opens later from around 10:30 on Sundays. Worth checking against your flight time, particularly for weekend travel.
