The journey between London City and Romford is roughly 11 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link. In normal conditions allow about 25–40 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day.

Romford sits roughly to the north-east of London City. By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is one of the shorter transfers we run from London City — the 18th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Romford 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.
By road, Romford is about 11 miles from London City, generally via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, and lies to the north-east of the airport itself. Romford is a busy market town in north-east London in the borough of Havering, with the Elizabeth line and a lively centre.
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, Romford lies to the north-east of London City, a journey of around 11 miles — one of the shorter transfers we run from London City compared with our other London City routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
The busiest times for London City to Romford are weekday rush hours, when the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link carry commuter traffic alongside airport and local journeys. If you are travelling before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday, it pays to leave a little earlier; evenings, weekends and school holidays tend to move more freely. We plan the timing either way, so the fixed fare and the pickup time both hold.
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.

A company account for corporate airport travel.

Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
