Hammersmith sits roughly to the west of London City. By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers — the 40th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Hammersmith against a nearby postcode for the same trip.
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.
By road, Hammersmith is about 17 miles from London City, generally via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, and lies to the west of the airport itself. Hammersmith, in west London, is a riverside transport hub with its flyover, Tube interchange and the Apollo.
London City Airport is in the Royal Docks in east London, the closest airport to the City and Canary Wharf.
Plenty of people use “taxi” loosely for any hired car, but a licensed minicab is a distinct, regulated category from a black cab: no hailing on the street, a booking made ahead of time, and separate private hire licensing for both car and driver. This transfer runs on that same basis — booked ahead, fully licensed, fare fixed before you set off. On this specific route, Hammersmith lies to the west of London City, a journey of around 17 miles — a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers compared with our other London City routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
For London City to Hammersmith, the roads are predictably busier on weekday mornings and early evenings, when local commuters and airport traffic both use the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link. Booking an early or late weekday slot is where a little extra time helps most; outside peak hours and on weekends, journeys tend to run more smoothly. Our drivers watch the traffic and adjust the route, not the price.
Nothing about the pickup is left to chance: the meeting point is agreed in advance, and on airport legs we track the flight so the timing matches your real arrival, not the timetable. Plan for the usual airport process around the journey itself — security and check-in outbound, passport control and baggage inbound — which is exactly what the free waiting allowance in your fare is there for.
Groups and luggage are worth mentioning at booking rather than working out on the day: a saloon suits up to four people and two large cases comfortably, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater gives more room for extra bags, buggies or sports kit. School holidays and the summer season tend to bring more group and family travel on this kind of journey, so booking a little further ahead helps guarantee the right-sized vehicle at a time that suits you.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:
An executive chauffeur car for business trips and special occasions.
A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
A day out further afield with a private tour.
