Southampton to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Southampton to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Southampton to London City Airport cost?
Your price is locked in and listed in the table above, beginning with the saloon and stepping up 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 the traffic across London on the day.
How long does the Southampton to London City Airport journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Most of the route is motorway and dual carriageway along the M3, M25 and A13, so outside the London peaks the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the M25 and the A13 approach into the Royal Docks.
What is the best route from Southampton to London City Airport?
The standard run is the M3 north to the M25, round the orbital, then the A13 in through Barking and the Royal Docks to the airport in E16. When the M25 or the A13 is congested, an experienced driver will adjust the approach on the day to keep the journey moving toward the terminal.
Do you pick up from Portsmouth, Winchester and Eastleigh?
Yes. We collect from across Southampton and the wider area, including Portsmouth and Winchester along the M3 and M27 corridor, plus the surrounding SO postcodes such as Eastleigh, Hedge End, Totton, Chandlers Ford and Romsey.
