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

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.
Travelling between London City and Redbridge covers around 7 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Redbridge lying to the north of the airport. Redbridge is a north-east London borough taking in Ilford, Wanstead and Woodford on the Essex border.
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, Redbridge lies to the north 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.
For London City to Redbridge, 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.
A quick note on group size and luggage at booking saves any surprise on the day: a saloon is comfortable for four with two large cases, and an estate, MPV or 8-seater takes the extra bags, buggies or kit that a bigger trip brings. Since school holidays and summer tend to be busier for journeys like this, booking a little ahead makes securing the right vehicle straightforward.
