The journey between London City and Woking is roughly 35 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link.

Travelling between London City and Woking covers around 35 miles by road, typically via the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link, with Woking lying to the west-south-west of the airport. Woking is a commuter town in Surrey to the south-west of London, with fast trains to Waterloo.
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, Woking lies to the west-south-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.
London City to Woking sees its heaviest traffic on weekday mornings and early evenings, when the A13, A406 North Circular and Limehouse Link are shared between commuters and airport travellers. If your journey falls in one of those windows, building in some extra time is sensible; outside them, and at weekends, the roads are typically quieter. Either way, the route is planned around the traffic on the day, not around a fixed schedule that ignores it.
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.
It helps to flag your group size and luggage when you book rather than on the day — a saloon comfortably takes four passengers and two large cases, and an estate, MPV or 8-seater covers anything bigger, from extra suitcases to pushchairs. Demand for this kind of trip tends to rise in school holidays and over summer, so an earlier booking makes it easier to lock in the vehicle you need.

A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
