The journey between London City and Slough is roughly 35 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link. In normal conditions allow about 45–65 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day.

Slough sits roughly to the west of London City. By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is one of the longer transfers we run from London City — the 61st shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Slough 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.
The London City–Slough run is roughly 35 miles, usually along the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Slough sitting to the west of the airport. Slough is a major Berkshire town just west of London, a business centre with the Elizabeth line and quick access to the M4.
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, Slough lies to the west of London City, a journey of around 35 miles — one of the longer 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.
Weekday rush hours are the main thing to plan around for London City to Slough, since the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link get busy with commuters as well as airport traffic. An early-morning or early-evening weekday trip is worth a little extra buffer; things generally ease off in the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays. The fare stays fixed regardless of which of these you land in.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
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:
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.
