Birmingham to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Birmingham to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Birmingham to London City Airport cost?
The fare is fixed and shown in the price table above, opening with the saloon and climbing by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the price shown above is the price you pay, whatever the traffic on the M6 or M1 that day.
How long does the Birmingham to London City journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. The bulk of the route is motorway along the M6 and M1 before the A406 and A13, so outside the peaks the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for Spaghetti Junction and the North Circular.
What is the best route from Birmingham to London City Airport?
The standard run is the M6 south-east to the M1, then down to the A406 North Circular and along the A13 into the Royal Docks. When the North Circular is congested near the approach, an experienced driver may adjust through the East London roads to keep the car moving towards E16.
Isn't Birmingham Airport closer than London City?
For many trips Birmingham Airport at Elmdon is the natural choice, and we would never pretend otherwise. London City is the airport to book when your flight, your meeting or your destination is in the Royal Docks, Canary Wharf or the City, as its short-haul and business network reaches places a door-to-door car serves better than a change-heavy rail journey.
