Hackney, in east London, has become one of the city's most popular areas, from Shoreditch and Dalston to London Fields and Victoria Park. With Stansted to the north-east and the City close by, we handle a mix of airport runs and business travel. We collect from any Hackney address with the right vehicle for your luggage.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Hackney, 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:
London City — about 7 miles (20–30 min by road), to the west-north-west of Hackney.
Heathrow — about 23 miles (35–60 min by road), to the east-north-east of Hackney.
Luton — about 30 miles (40–65 min by road), to the south-south-east of Hackney.
Gatwick — about 35 miles (45–65 min by road), to the north-north-east of Hackney.
Stansted — about 35 miles (40–65 min by road), to the south-south-west of Hackney.
Southend — about 40 miles (50–80 min by road), to the west of Hackney.
Hackney 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.
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.
Most Hackney 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.
The cost of your Hackney minicab is set upfront from your exact address, with no meter running. Ask online or by phone for an instant, fixed price.
