London City sits in the Royal Docks in east London, much closer to the financial districts than the larger airports. Whether you need a taxi to London City Airport for a morning flight or a taxi from London City Airport straight to a meeting, our drivers plan the route and track your flight. Journeys to Canary Wharf, the City and the West End are short but the surrounding roads get busy, so a pre-booked car keeps you moving.
Booking takes about two minutes and your fare is fixed from the start. Here is how a journey works, step by step.
Enter your pickup and drop-off for your London City Airport Taxi journey on our booking page, or call us. You get an instant, fixed price — no meters and no surge pricing.
Choose a saloon, estate, MPV or 8-seater, add child seats or meet and greet, and confirm in under a minute. We send your driver's name, number and car before pickup.
On airport journeys we track your flight by number and adjust the pickup to your real landing time. Your driver can wait in arrivals with a name board and help with your luggage.
Your driver takes you directly to your destination and you pay online, by card in the car, or on account — always at the fixed fare you were quoted.
One fixed fare, quoted before you book, covers the whole journey. Here is what comes as standard.
No charge for airline or air-traffic delays.
Smart, professional drivers for corporate travel.
Account billing available for regular business travel.

London City is the smallest and quickest of the six airports to move through, with short runways, smaller aircraft and famously fast turnarounds — which makes it especially well suited to business travellers fitting a flight around a full working day. Its Royal Docks location, close to the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, means it is usually the fastest airport to reach from the City and Canary Wharf, and correspondingly quick for the return leg after landing.
Because so much of the traffic here is business travel rather than holiday flights, the busiest times tend to follow the working week closely — weekday mornings and early evenings, with meetings often booked either side of the flight itself. Flight tracking applies as it does everywhere else, so a delayed landing does not affect your fare or leave your driver caught out, and an executive vehicle can be requested at booking for client or boardroom-bound arrivals.
If your day includes a City Airport flight either side of meetings across London, mentioning the full itinerary at booking — rather than treating the transfer as a single isolated trip — means the timings between each leg are planned together.
A minicab, including an executive car booked for a City Airport client run, is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle each separately licensed. For a City or Canary Wharf business trip, that is exactly what makes the fast turnaround work — your driver and car are confirmed before you land, not sourced on the day.
