Southend Airport to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Southend Airport to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from London Southend Airport to London City Airport cost?
Your fare is fixed and set out 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 is exactly what you pay whatever the traffic between the two airports on the day.
How long does the transfer between the two airports take?
Allow around the drive time shown above. Most of the route runs on the A127 and A13 dual carriageways, so outside the London peaks the timing is dependable, and for a tight London City connection your driver adds a sensible buffer to the Southend pickup.
What route do you take from Southend Airport to London City?
The standard run leaves the airport onto the A127, follows it west to the Fairglen interchange, then joins the A13 in towards the Royal Docks and the London City terminal. If the A13 is heavy near the docks, an experienced driver may switch towards the Limehouse Link to keep the connection on track.
Do you also cover Southend-on-Sea, Basildon and Brentwood?
Yes. As well as the airport itself we collect across the wider SS and CM postcodes, including Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Rayleigh, Basildon and Brentwood, all on the same A127 and A13 corridor into London City.
