City of London to London City Airport Taxi from £51
Bank has a direct DLR to the airport, but it is a deep, crowded interchange to drag a case through; LondonAirport‑Taxi.com collects from your Square Mile office and drives The Highway and the Limehouse Link to the terminal on a fixed fare.
Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every London City fare.
Looking for a reliable City of London to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com picks up throughout the Square Mile — from the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange at Bank to the insurance district around Lime Street and the Lloyd’s building, the towers of Bishopsgate and 30 St Mary Axe, Guildhall, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Barbican and Smithfield. Despite sharing a name, the two are not next door: the airport lies several miles east, in the Royal Docks. Most drivers head out via Tower Hill and East Smithfield onto The Highway (A1203), go through the Limehouse Link tunnel and over the Lower Lea Crossing. When that corridor is blocked, the A13 Commercial Road is the alternative.
Coming back from Edinburgh, Dublin or a European client visit, you will find the driver waiting in London City’s arrivals hall with a name board, and your flight is tracked so the time adjusts to your actual landing. We include 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown, then drive you back to the office, a Barbican flat or wherever you are heading. Families with young children can book an MPV or larger, with up to two child seats fitted free before collection. The fare is fixed at booking with the airport charge already included, and a 7am pickup costs the same as one at 7pm.

City of London to London City: Distance, Drive Time & A1203 Route
From Bank the driver heads east past Aldgate or down to Tower Hill, then follows East Smithfield onto The Highway (A1203) along the edge of Wapping and Shadwell. The Limehouse Link tunnel carries you under Limehouse to Aspen Way, and the Lower Lea Crossing takes you over the River Lea into the Royal Docks, followed by a short run through Silvertown to the terminal. If The Highway or the tunnel is congested, the driver switches to the A13 Commercial Road and East India Dock Road through Stepney and Poplar to Canning Town.

City of London to London City Transfers for Every Kind of Trip
Insurance and Markets Travel
Brokers and underwriters around Lime Street and Leadenhall often fly to European clients for a single day. A car booked from the office door avoids the walk down to the Bank DLR platforms, and the fixed fare and emailed receipt keep expense claims simple.
Same-Day Trips to Edinburgh and Dublin
City’s short check-in times suit there-and-back trips to Scotland and Ireland. Book both legs together: the driver collects you after the morning commute, and a second driver tracks your evening flight and is waiting when you land.

City of London to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about City of London to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from the City of London to London City Airport cost?
Your fare is the one shown above for a saloon, with each larger vehicle priced in the table. It is fixed when you book and the airport charge is already included in the fixed fare, with no surcharge for a late finish or an early flight.
How long does it take to drive from Bank to the airport?
Use the drive time shown above as your guide; the route runs along The Highway, through the Limehouse Link tunnel and across the Lower Lea Crossing. The City’s morning and evening peaks are when that time stretches, so we will suggest an earlier pickup for rush-hour flights.
Do you collect from Clerkenwell and Wapping as well?
Yes. Beyond the Square Mile we pick up in Clerkenwell, Wapping, Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Southwark, all at fixed fares.
Where does the car drop me at the airport?
London City has one terminal, and the driver pulls into the short-stay drop-off zone right outside it. You go straight from the car to check-in, with no deep interchange at Bank and no DLR ride with your luggage.
