Portsmouth to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Portsmouth to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Portsmouth to London City Airport cost?
The fare is fixed and set out in the price table above, from the saloon rate up through the larger vehicles. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the price shown above is the number you pay, whatever the traffic on the A3 or the M25 on the day.
How long does the Portsmouth to London City Airport journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Most of the route is dual carriageway and motorway along the A3, the M25 and the A13, so outside the peaks the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for getting off the island and for the approach into the Royal Docks.
What is the best route from Portsmouth to London City Airport?
The standard run leaves the island on the M275, takes the A3 north to the M25, then follows the A13 east into E16 and the London City Airport turn. When the A13 is congested near ExCeL and the docks, an experienced driver may use the local approaches to keep you moving to the terminal.
