Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every London City fare.
Looking for a reliable Canary Wharf to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com collects from every corner of the Isle of Dogs business district — the towers around One Canada Square and Cabot Square, the Crossrail Place roof garden above the Elizabeth line station, the newer blocks at Wood Wharf and South Quay, and the old sugar warehouses of West India Quay beside the Museum of London Docklands. It is a short run across to the Royal Docks, but the road choice still matters. Your driver leaves the estate on the A1206, joins the A1261 Aspen Way eastbound past Poplar and Blackwall, then takes the Lower Lea Crossing over the mouth of the River Lea, keeping clear of the A13 queues at Canning Town.
Coming home from a two-day trip to Frankfurt or Zurich, the last thing you want is a hunt for the right DLR platform. We watch your flight number, and the driver waits in London City’s arrivals hall with your name on a board, allowing 60 minutes of free waiting from the moment the aircraft actually lands — so a slow passport queue costs you nothing. Families living in the Millwall or Cubitt Town apartment blocks can ask for an MPV or larger and have up to two child seats fitted free before pickup. The price is fixed when you book, the airport charge is already included, and it is identical whether you fly at six in the morning or land late on a Sunday.

Canary Wharf to London City: Distance, Drive Time & A1206 Route
From the Canary Wharf estate your driver heads out on the A1206 and joins the A1261 Aspen Way eastbound, passing Poplar and the Blackwall Tunnel approach before peeling off at Leamouth onto the Lower Lea Crossing. That bridge carries you over the River Lea into the Royal Docks, and the road then runs along the south side of Royal Victoria Dock through Silvertown to Hartmann Road and the terminal forecourt. When Aspen Way is jammed around the Blackwall junction, the driver can switch to East India Dock Road through Poplar to Canning Town and drop south into Silvertown from there.

Canary Wharf to London City Transfers for Every Kind of Trip
Banking and Finance Day Trips
Canary Wharf’s banks, regulators and professional firms use London City for same-day meetings in Europe’s financial centres. A car booked to your building’s entrance means the driver is waiting downstairs when the last call ends, and the emailed receipt makes the expenses claim simple.
Island Residents Off on a Break
For people living in Millwall, Cubitt Town, Mudchute or the Wood Wharf towers, the DLR change at Poplar is awkward with a suitcase and a pushchair. The driver comes to the concierge door or your street, loads the bags and is at the terminal before a train journey would have reached its first change.

Canary Wharf to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Canary Wharf to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much is a taxi from Canary Wharf to London City Airport?
The fare shown above is the fixed, all-in price for a saloon carrying up to three passengers, and the table beneath it lists every larger vehicle. The airport drop-off charge is already included in the fixed fare. It stays the same for a dawn departure, a late return or a bank holiday.
How long is the drive from Canary Wharf to London City?
Plan on the drive time shown above, using Aspen Way and the Lower Lea Crossing. Weekday rush hours around the Blackwall Tunnel approach can add a few minutes, so leave a small margin for a peak-time departure.
Do you also pick up from Limehouse and Cubitt Town?
Yes. We collect from anywhere on the Isle of Dogs and its edges, including Limehouse, Cubitt Town, Millwall, Poplar and Blackwall, on the same fixed-fare basis as the main estate.
Where will the driver drop me at London City Airport?
London City has a single terminal, so there is nothing to choose between: the car pulls into the short-stay drop-off zone right outside it. That saves the DLR change at Poplar and the walk from the platform with your luggage.
