The journey between London City and Lewisham is roughly 7 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

Lewisham sits roughly to the south-west of London City. By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is a quick, short-distance run by our usual standards — the 8th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Lewisham 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.
This route covers around 7 miles between London City and Lewisham, typically using the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Lewisham positioned to the south-west of the airport. Lewisham is a busy south-east London borough taking in Deptford, Catford, Blackheath and New Cross.
London City Airport is in the Royal Docks in east London, the closest airport to the City and Canary Wharf.
The word “taxi” gets used for almost any hired car in everyday conversation, but a licensed minicab is a genuinely separate, regulated category from a black cab — it must be pre-booked rather than hailed, and both the driver and vehicle carry their own private hire licence. That is exactly how this transfer is arranged: booked in advance, licensed throughout, and priced before you travel. On this specific route, Lewisham lies to the south-west of London City, a journey of around 7 miles — a quick, short-distance run by our usual standards compared with our other London City routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
London City to Lewisham sees its heaviest traffic on weekday mornings and early evenings, when the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link are shared between commuters and airport travellers. If your journey falls in one of those windows, building in some extra time is sensible; outside them, and at weekends, the roads are typically quieter. Either way, the route is planned around the traffic on the day, not around a fixed schedule that ignores it.
We agree the exact pickup point with you before the day, so there is nothing to work out when you travel, and any airport leg has the flight tracked so timing follows your real schedule rather than the printed one. Build in the normal airport steps around the drive — check-in and security outbound, passport control and baggage on arrival — both covered by the waiting time already included in your fare.
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 bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
