Round-the-clock booking and travel.
The City of London is the capital's historic financial district, the "Square Mile" around the Bank of England and Liverpool Street. It is busiest on weekdays with corporate travel, so many of our journeys here are airport runs and account work for City firms. We collect from offices and hotels and quote a fixed fare before you travel.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from City of London, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, City of London ranks 13th closest to London City out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
London City — about 9 miles (20–30 min by road); City of London lies to the west of it.
Heathrow — about 21 miles (35–50 min by road); City of London lies to the east-north-east of it.
Gatwick — about 30 miles (40–60 min by road); City of London lies to the north of it.
Stansted — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); City of London lies to the south-south-west of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (40–65 min by road); City of London lies to the south-south-east of it.
Southend — about 40 miles (55–80 min by road); City of London lies to the west of it.
One rule marks a minicab out from a black cab: you cannot wave one down. Every journey is pre-arranged, and the driver and vehicle both require a separate private hire licence to work legally. Booking through Airport Move reflects exactly that — your fare and pickup time are confirmed in advance, and a licensed driver meets you at the time agreed, never hailed on the road. In City of London specifically, London City is the closest of the six by road — roughly 9 miles away, with City of London lying to the west of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from City of London reaches every London airport just as reliably.
City of London sees its heaviest traffic on weekday mornings and early evenings, when the main approach roads 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 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.
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.
Most City of London bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
