The journey between London City and Putney is roughly 17 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

Putney sits roughly to the west-south-west 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 41st shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Putney 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 17 miles between London City and Putney, typically using the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Putney positioned to the west-south-west of the airport. Putney sits on the south bank of the Thames in south-west London, a smart riverside suburb known for rowing and its bridge.
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, Putney lies to the west-south-west of London City, a journey of around 17 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.
the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link are at their busiest on weekday mornings and early evenings around London City to Putney, as commuter traffic overlaps with airport and local trips. Early or late weekday journeys benefit from extra time in the schedule; quieter periods fall on evenings, weekends and school holidays. Whatever the traffic, your driver plans the route in advance and the fare does not change.
We confirm where your driver will meet you well before travel day, and for airport connections the flight is tracked so the pickup follows your actual landing time. The normal airport routine still sits either side of the drive — check-in and security if you are departing, passport control and baggage reclaim if you are arriving — and both are covered by the waiting time built into the fare.
Telling us your group size and luggage at booking, rather than leaving it to the day, means the right vehicle is waiting: a saloon for up to four people and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater for more bags, buggies or equipment. Journeys like this get busier in school holidays and summer, so booking ahead is the simplest way to secure the size of car you need.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:
An executive car with a professional driver 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.
The cost is set in advance for the London City to Putney trip and covers parking and waiting time, so nothing is added later. The route is about 17 miles, normally 25–40 minutes by road, but the price stays the same whatever the traffic. Request your price online or over the phone.
Every time. Give us the flight number and we track it into London City, moving the pickup to match reality rather than the original schedule, at no extra cost for delays.
