Stratford to London City Airport Taxi from £51
The DLR from Stratford usually means a change at Canning Town with your cases; LondonAirport‑Taxi.com instead collects from Westfield, the Olympic Park or your E15 front door and drives the A112 and the A13 to the terminal, on a fixed fare.
Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every London City fare.
Looking for a reliable Stratford to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com serves the whole of the new and old Stratford: the shops and towers around Westfield Stratford City, the flats of East Village, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with the London Stadium, the Aquatics Centre and the ArcelorMittal Orbit, and the older streets around Stratford Broadway and the Theatre Royal Stratford East. We also cover Here East at Hackney Wick and the Victorian terraces of Maryland. For most addresses the driver heads south on the A112 through West Ham and Plaistow to the A13, then drops into the Royal Docks past ExCeL. From the western side of the park, the A12 south from Bow to the A13 at Poplar is sometimes the quicker way round.
When you fly back into City, we monitor the flight, and the driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a board with your name. You have an hour of free waiting from the actual landing time, which covers most baggage-hall delays. Families from Leyton, Forest Gate or East Village who need child seats should choose an MPV or larger; up to two seats are fitted free before the car reaches you. The fare is agreed at booking, the airport charge is already included, and the price is exactly the same on a West Ham home game day as on a quiet Tuesday — there are no surcharges at any hour.

Stratford to London City: Distance, Drive Time & A112 Route
From central Stratford the driver picks up the A112 south through West Ham and Plaistow, crosses onto the A13 and then turns down into the Royal Docks, passing the eastern end of ExCeL before Connaught Bridge and Hartmann Road lead to the terminal. Pickups from the Olympic Park or Hackney Wick side often join the A12 instead, running south from the Bow interchange to the A13 at Poplar and then east through Canning Town into Silvertown. On London Stadium event days, when roads around the park are restricted, the driver will agree a pickup point outside the closures.

Stratford to London City Transfers for Every Kind of Trip
Match Days and Concerts at London Stadium
West Ham home games and big summer concerts bring road restrictions around the Olympic Park. If you are flying out on an event day, we agree a pickup point outside the closed roads and leave a little earlier, so the crowds do not affect your check-in.
Students and Staff at the Park Campuses
UCL East and Loughborough University London at Here East bring students and visiting academics to the park from across Europe. At the start and end of term a car takes the cases from halls or a shared flat straight to the terminal, without dragging them through Stratford station.

Stratford to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Stratford to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
What is the price of a taxi from Stratford to London City Airport?
The fare shown above is what a saloon costs, with MPVs and executive cars listed in the table. It is fixed and all-in, the airport drop-off charge is already included, and it does not change on a match night or a bank holiday.
How quickly can I get from Stratford to the airport by car?
Allow the drive time shown above via the A112 and the A13. School-run traffic on the A112 through Plaistow and event days at the Olympic Park can slow things, and your driver will set the pickup time accordingly.
Do you pick up in Leyton and Forest Gate too?
Yes. Leyton, Forest Gate, Maryland, West Ham and Hackney Wick are all covered, along with every street in E15 and E20, on the same fixed fares.
Will I be dropped at the terminal or the DLR station?
At the terminal. London City has one building, and the car stops in the short-stay drop-off zone outside it, so there is no Canning Town change and no platform to cross with your bags.
