ExCeL to London City Airport Taxi from £59
From ExCeL the DLR is not one stop away — you ride back to Canning Town and change branches — so LondonAirport‑Taxi.com collects outside the halls and crosses Connaught Bridge to the terminal door in minutes, on a fixed fare.
Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every London City fare.
Looking for a reliable ExCeL to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com picks up exhibitors, delegates and visitors from ExCeL London on the north side of Royal Victoria Dock, whether you are at the western end by Custom House station, where the Elizabeth line now stops, or the eastern halls beside Prince Regent. We also collect from the dockside hotels and apartments, the Crystal building that now houses London’s City Hall, and the offices around Royal Albert Dock. The airport sits just across the water to the south-east. Rather than heading back west to Canning Town as the DLR does, your driver takes Connaught Bridge over the channel between the Royal Victoria and Royal Albert docks and turns onto Hartmann Road for the terminal.
Flying in for a trade show or conference? We follow your flight, the driver stands in London City’s arrivals hall with a name board, and you get a full 60 minutes of free waiting from the actual touchdown, so an early or late landing is no problem. The short journey to the venue or your hotel then takes only a few minutes. Parents bringing children to a consumer show can book an MPV or larger and have up to two child seats fitted free before collection. The fare is fixed at booking with the airport charge already included, and it does not rise when every taxi in the Royal Docks is in demand on the last afternoon of an exhibition.

ExCeL to London City: Distance, Drive Time & A1020 Route
Your driver leaves ExCeL from the eastern side of the venue near Prince Regent and heads for the Connaught roundabout. Connaught Bridge then carries you south over the water between the Royal Victoria and Royal Albert docks, and Hartmann Road leads straight into the short-stay drop-off zone outside the terminal. If the bridge approach is choked as a large show empties, the driver can run west past Custom House and Royal Victoria, cross to the south side of the dock and follow North Woolwich Road east through Silvertown to the airport instead.

Trains and coaches serve ExCeL, but for a London City transfer with luggage or an early flight a private taxi wins on what matters.

Train
The rail route is DLR from Custom House or Prince Regent back to Canning Town, then change for the Woolwich Arsenal branch to London City Airport — one (Canning Town), around 15-20 min. Check TfL or National Rail for your date and fare.

Prefer the coach? Not a direct option: walk across Connaught Bridge or local bus — around 20-30 min on foot, around £0-2pp.

ExCeL to London City Transfers for Every Kind of Trip
Exhibitor Build-Up and Breakdown
Stand staff often travel with display cases, banner stands and sample boxes as well as their own luggage. An estate takes four bags, and the Ford Tourneo MPV-8 seats seven with room for seven bags, so the kit and the team reach the terminal in one load rather than several trips to the DLR.
Delegates Arriving for Conference Day
Many international delegates land at City because it is the closest airport to the venue. The driver meets you in arrivals and has you at the hall entrance or your Royal Docks hotel soon after, ready for registration rather than queuing for a train.

ExCeL to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ExCeL to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
Isn’t the DLR just one stop from ExCeL to the airport?
No — ExCeL’s stations, Custom House and Prince Regent, are on the Beckton branch, while London City Airport station is on the Woolwich Arsenal branch. By train you ride back to Canning Town and change, which is why a car across Connaught Bridge is so much quicker with luggage.
What does an ExCeL to London City taxi cost?
You pay the fare shown above for a saloon, or the figure beside a larger vehicle in the table, fixed at the moment you book. The airport charge is already included in the fixed fare, and there is no extra for evening or weekend journeys.
How long will the transfer take?
Expect the drive time shown above from the hall entrance to the terminal. On the closing day of a big show the roads around the venue get busy, so book a little ahead of when you actually need to leave.
Can you collect from Beckton or Canning Town as well as ExCeL?
Yes. We pick up across the Royal Docks and the surrounding E16 and E6 streets, including Beckton, Canning Town, Silvertown and Custom House, at the same fixed-fare rates.
