The journey between London City and Westminster is roughly 11 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

Westminster sits roughly to the west of London City. By distance across all the areas we cover from London City, this route is a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers — the 22nd shortest of the 64 areas we cover from London City, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Westminster 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.
This route covers around 11 miles between London City and Westminster, typically using the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Westminster positioned to the west of the airport. Westminster sits at the heart of central London, home to Parliament, Whitehall, Victoria and the West End.
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, Westminster lies to the west of London City, a journey of around 11 miles — a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers 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 Westminster, 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.
Your pickup point is confirmed ahead of time, removing any guesswork on the day, and flight tracking on airport journeys means the car adjusts to when you actually land rather than when the schedule says you should. The usual airport steps still apply either side of your drive — check-in and security, or passport control and baggage reclaim — and the included waiting time is there to cover them.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.
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.
