The journey between London City and Wandsworth is roughly 15 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

Wandsworth 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 35th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Wandsworth 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, Wandsworth is about 15 miles from London City, generally via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, and lies to the west-south-west of the airport itself. Wandsworth is a leafy south-west London borough covering Battersea, Putney, Balham and Tooting, popular with families and commuters.
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, Wandsworth lies to the west-south-west of London City, a journey of around 15 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 Wandsworth, 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 agree the exact pickup point with you before the day, so there is nothing to work out when you travel, and any airport leg has the flight tracked so timing follows your real schedule rather than the printed one. Build in the normal airport steps around the drive — check-in and security outbound, passport control and baggage on arrival — both covered by the waiting time already included in your fare.
Mentioning your group size and luggage at booking, rather than on the day, means we bring the right car from the start — a saloon for four passengers and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater when there is more to carry. Expect more demand for this kind of journey around school holidays and summer, so a little lead time helps when it comes to booking the right vehicle.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:

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.
