Basildon to London City Airport Taxi from £82

Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every London City fare.
Looking for a reliable Basildon to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com collects from every corner of the new town — the flats and offices around Brooke House and the Eastgate Centre, the family streets of Lee Chapel North and Kingswood, the older village cores of Pitsea and Laindon, and the hillside roads of Langdon Hills near the Dunton plotlands — and takes you to the single terminal on Hartmann Road. Which road we use depends on where you live. Homes north of the town centre, along with Wickford and Billericay, usually join the A127 Southend Arterial Road towards the M25, while Pitsea, Vange and Bowers Gifford sit closer to the A13, which heads west past the Lakeside junction, Rainham and Barking to the edge of the Royal Docks.
Coming home through London City, the run back to Essex begins in the arrivals hall, where your driver waits with a name board. We follow your flight number rather than the timetable, so a late landing from Amsterdam or Edinburgh simply moves the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after touchdown carry no waiting charge. Families heading for Laindon or Wickford can ask for up to two child seats at no cost; they come in our MPVs and larger vehicles and are fitted before the driver sets off. The fare you accept when booking stays the same at five in the morning or on a bank holiday evening, and the airport drop-off charge is already included in the fixed fare, so there is nothing to settle at the kerb.

Basildon to London City: Distance, Drive Time & A127 Route
From central Basildon your driver heads north to the A127 and runs west through the Essex green belt to Junction 29 of the M25, drops south one junction to Junction 30 and picks up the A13 for the long dual-carriageway run past Rainham, Dagenham and Barking. At Beckton the car leaves the A13 for the A1020, following Royal Albert Way beside the Royal Albert Dock to Hartmann Road and the terminal forecourt. If the A127 is slow around the M25 interchange, the driver can stay south instead, joining the A13 near Pitsea and following it all the way west, or switch to the A12 at Gallows Corner and come down the A406 to Beckton when the Thurrock end is congested.

How does a private Basildon to London City taxi stack up against the train and coach? On luggage, early flights and a guaranteed price, it comes out ahead.
train
Train
On the train it is c2c from Basildon to Limehouse, then the DLR to London City Airport, so one to two, around 50-70 min. Check TfL or National Rail for your date and fare.
directions_bus
Coach
On the coach: not a direct option: services run into London, leaving a Tube or DLR transfer out to the Royal Docks, around 1.5 hours or more with changes, at £8-14pp.

Basildon to London City Transfers for Every Kind of Trip
Docklands and City Workers
Plenty of Basildon residents work in Canary Wharf or the City and fly out of the Royal Docks for meetings in Frankfurt, Zurich or Geneva. A car from your door replaces a c2c service that fills up further at Upminster and Barking, with a wheeled case wedged in the vestibule.
ExCeL Exhibitions
ExCeL London sits a short drive from the terminal, so firms from the Southfields and Cranes Farm Road business areas often pair a trade show with a flight out the same week. A car can take you to the venue on the opening morning and collect you for the airport when the show closes, each journey on its own fixed fare.

Basildon to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Basildon to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
What will a Basildon to London City Airport taxi cost?
The fare shown above is the full price for your chosen vehicle, fixed when you book and unchanged on the day. It already includes the airport drop-off charge, and there is nothing extra for early mornings, late nights or bank holidays.
How long is the drive from Basildon to London City?
Plan on the drive time shown above for a normal run along the A127 or A13. On weekday mornings the A13 through Dagenham and Barking can slow, so leave a little extra margin for an early departure.
Do you collect from Wickford and Billericay as well as Basildon?
Yes. Wickford, Billericay, Crays Hill and Noak Bridge are all covered, along with every Basildon neighbourhood from Pitsea and Vange to Laindon and Langdon Hills. Enter your exact address when booking and the fixed fare is calculated for that pickup.
Coming from Basildon, where exactly will the driver drop me at London City?
London City has one terminal, so there is no building to choose. Your car uses the short-stay drop-off zone directly outside the terminal on Hartmann Road, a few steps from check-in, and on arrival the driver meets you inside with a name board.
