The journey between London City and Hackney is roughly 7 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link. In normal conditions allow about 20–30 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day. Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
