Looking for a reliable Gatwick to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com links Gatwick — West Sussex’s two-terminal airport at the foot of the M23, its North and South Terminals joined by the inter-terminal shuttle — with London City Airport, the single-terminal business airport in the Royal Docks at E16, next door to the ExCeL exhibition centre and a short hop from Canary Wharf and the City. Your driver meets your flight at Gatwick arrivals and takes the M23, the clockwise M25 and the A13 into Docklands, so passengers connecting between the two airports reach the London City terminal without wrestling luggage through Victoria, across the Underground and onto the DLR.
Whether you have just landed at Gatwick on a long-haul arrival and need to make an onward London City departure, you are switching London airports halfway through an itinerary, or a meeting near Canary Wharf means a short-haul flight from E16, our highly-rated service keeps the whole airport-to-airport transfer on one fixed fare — backed by hundreds of verified reviews and drivers who run the Gatwick corridor every day.

Gatwick to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Gatwick to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Gatwick to London City Airport cost?
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price table above, starting with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the price shown above when you book is the price you pay, whatever London’s traffic does on the day.
How long does the Gatwick to London City transfer take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Almost the whole route is motorway and dual carriageway along the M23, M25 and A13, so outside the peaks the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the M25 around the Dartford approach and for the connection at the London City end.
What is the best route from Gatwick to London City Airport?
The standard run is the M23 north to the clockwise M25, then off onto the A13 into the Royal Docks and up to the terminal. When the eastern M25 is congested near Dartford, an experienced driver may weigh the A20 and Blackwall Tunnel approach instead to keep you moving toward your onward flight.
Can you collect from both the North and South Terminals and the Gatwick hotels?
Yes. We meet arrivals at both Gatwick North and South Terminals with a name board, collect from the official pick-up zones for each terminal, and run early transfers from the airport hotels including the Sofitel, Hilton, Bloc and the Premier Inn cluster around Lowfield Heath and Horley.
