The Best London City Airport Taxi Service

Taking a London city airport taxi is by far the most convenient and relaxing way to travel to the city centre of London. As soon as you made your way through baggage claim, you will see your personal driver waiting for you just outside of the arrivals hall. Even if your plane is delayed, there is no need to worry. All of our drivers receive live notifications on any flight schedule changes.

As you embark on your City airport transfer, your driver will answer any questions you have about London and will share with you some of the top places to visit during your stay. With all your transfer needs taken care of by Welcome Pickups, all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. 

During your time in the city, you can continue to travel with Welcome Pickups, or you can take a local London taxi by calling a radio taxi company, walking to a designated taxi rank or by hailing one from the street.

Directions for your London City Airport Taxi

London City Airport (LCY) is a small, one-runway international airport located just 11km east of London city centre. Your transfer from City airport to London shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes in a taxi. To begin your journey, you will take Hartmann Rd toward Camel Rd before turning right onto Connaught Rd/A112. Your driver will follow this road across two roundabouts before taking the exit onto N Woolwich Rd/A1020. Then, they will take the ramp to Lower Lea Crossing/A1020 before exiting onto Aspen Way/A1261. After a few km, your driver will then merge onto Tower Hill/A100 and follow this street into the city centre. From here, your driver will use the local roads to reach your hotel.

Why choose a London City airport taxi?

City airport is located quite close to the city centre of London, so taking a City airport taxi is quite affordable. It also means that you won’t need to navigate the busy public transport in London, putting your personal belongings at risk. Instead, you will make your way directly to your hotel in comfort. 

London city airport taxi prices

The local black cab drivers at City airport don’t offer a flat-rate fee for the journey into the city centre of London, instead, they will charge you using a taximeter based on distance. Although there may be additional fees added for things such as waiting times, travelling at night or during major holidays, the average cost of this journey is €45 (£40). If you’d prefer a set-rate fee with no hidden costs, we recommend booking your London City airport taxi in advance with Welcome Pickups.
