The journey between London City and Southall is roughly 24 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is among the more distant areas we cover from London City — the 54th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Southall 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.
Travelling between London City and Southall covers around 24 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Southall lying to the west of the airport. Southall, in west London, is a vibrant district famous for its South Asian community, markets and food.
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, Southall lies to the west of London City, a journey of around 24 miles — among the more distant areas we cover from 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 Southall, 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.
We quote the whole London City to Southall journey as a single fixed number, parking and waiting time already in it, so there is nothing to add up afterwards. It covers roughly 24 miles and around 40–60 minutes in typical traffic, yet the quoted fare never moves. Ask online or call us.
Always. We follow your inbound flight and reset the pickup to when you actually touch down, so the driver to Southall is there on time no matter the delay.
With meet & greet, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board. For a standard pickup, the driver waits nearby and calls you once you have your luggage and have cleared arrivals.
Anywhere in Southall works — a house, hotel or office, picking up or dropping off. Add the full address and postcode when you book so the driver locates you first time.
