The journey between London City and Havering is roughly 12 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

Havering sits roughly to the north-east of London City. By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is a middle-distance run, neither especially short nor long for London City — the 25th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Havering against a nearby postcode for the same trip.

The London City–Havering run is roughly 12 miles, usually along the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Havering sitting to the north-east of the airport. Havering is London's far north-eastern borough, centred on Romford and reaching into semi-rural Essex.
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, Havering lies to the north-east of London City, a journey of around 12 miles — a middle-distance run, neither especially short nor long for London City compared with our other London City routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
For London City to Havering, 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.
The pickup point is settled in advance so there is no confusion on the day, and any airport leg is flight-tracked, meaning the car follows your real landing time rather than the original schedule. Either side of the drive, expect the usual airport process — check-in and security outbound, or passport control and baggage reclaim inbound — both allowed for in the included waiting time.
Mentioning your group size and luggage at booking, rather than on the day, means we bring the right car from the start — a saloon for four passengers and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater when there is more to carry. Expect more demand for this kind of journey around school holidays and summer, so a little lead time helps when it comes to booking the right vehicle.

A company account for corporate airport travel.
