infoAbout Ipswich

Ipswich – Suffolk’s Historic Waterfront Town

Ipswich is one of England’s oldest continuously settled towns, with Anglo-Saxon origins dating back over 1,500 years. The town was the birthplace of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the powerful Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII. The stunning Ipswich Waterfront has been transformed from working docks into a vibrant cultural quarter, now home to the University of Suffolk’s striking waterfront campus, the DanceEast National Dance Agency, restaurants, bars, and marina facilities. The Ancient House on Buttermarket is famous for its exceptional 17th-century pargeting (decorative plasterwork) depicting the continents. Christchurch Mansion, set in beautiful parkland, houses an impressive collection including works by Constable and Gainsborough. The Willis Building, an early work by Norman Foster completed in 1975, is a masterpiece of modernist architecture with its distinctive black glass and yellow trim. Portman Road is home to Ipswich Town FC, affectionately known as the Tractor Boys, who have a proud history including winning the FA Cup and UEFA Cup. LondonAirport‑Taxi.com delivers direct from London City Airport in approximately 1 hour 45 minutes via the A12.

starstarstarstarstar

“Use the Saloon every week flying into City from Amsterdam for our Ipswich logistics office. The A12 is smooth and the driver has never once been late. One hour forty-five minutes, every single time. My PA books two weeks ahead and always gets the same reliable service. I have been using LondonAirport‑Taxi.com for this run for two years and would never consider another provider.”

“Starting at the University of Suffolk waterfront campus, flew from Dublin with two enormous suitcases and a keyboard. Booked the Estate at £115. The driver helped with everything, made a brief stop for coffee, and dropped me right at the main entrance to my accommodation block on the Waterfront with the Wet Dock right outside my window. Arrived in one hour fifty minutes. The first sight of those waterfront buildings and the marina was incredible. Perfect welcome to Ipswich.”

“Brought five mates from Brussels to watch Ipswich Town at Portman Road for their first Premier League season. The 6-MPV at £145 was perfect — all six of us, flags and scarves included, straight from City Airport to the turnstiles. Driver knew a clever route that bypassed the match-day traffic. We were singing in the stands twenty minutes after leaving the car. Won three-nil. Return booked for the next home game. This is how you get to Portman Road. Incredible.”
