The journey between London City and Peckham is roughly 8 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

By road, Peckham is about 8 miles from London City, generally via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, and lies to the west-south-west of the airport itself. Peckham, in south-east London, has become one of the city's most creative districts, from Rye Lane to Bellenden Road.
London City Airport is in the Royal Docks in east London, the closest airport to the City and Canary Wharf.
In everyday London speech, people say “taxi” for almost any hired car, but a licensed minicab is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed on the street and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed for private hire. A pre-booked transfer like this one works on exactly that basis — agreed in advance, licensed throughout, with the fare fixed before you travel. On this specific route, Peckham lies to the west-south-west of London City, a journey of around 8 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.
For London City to Peckham, 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.
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:

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.
