Waterloo to London City Airport Taxi from £58

Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every London City fare.
Looking for a reliable Waterloo to London City Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com picks up south of the river — at Waterloo station after a South Western Railway train, from the hotels in County Hall beside the London Eye, near the National Theatre and the Southbank Centre, and through Southwark, Bankside and Borough — and gets you to the Royal Docks at a fare fixed in advance. There are two main ways across. The first goes along Southwark Street and Tooley Street, then over Tower Bridge to The Highway and the Limehouse Link. The second heads east on the A2 to the A102 and through the Silvertown or Blackwall tunnel, coming out right beside the docks. The driver picks the one that is moving on the day.
If you are flying back into City, the driver checks your flight before setting off and meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board. You get 60 minutes of free waiting after the real landing time, so you can collect your bags without rushing. Families can have up to two child seats free in an MPV or larger vehicle, fitted before pickup; just ask when booking. The fixed fare covers the airport drop-off charge and the river-crossing tunnel charge, so there is nothing extra to pay at the barrier or the terminal, and the price is the same at night and on bank holidays.

Waterloo to London City: Distance, Drive Time & A13 Route
From Waterloo station the car runs east along Stamford Street and Southwark Street, past Borough Market onto Tooley Street, then turns up Tower Bridge Road and over Tower Bridge to Tower Hill. The Highway, the Limehouse Link tunnel and Aspen Way then take you past Canary Wharf to the Lower Lea Crossing and on to Hartmann Road at the terminal. When Tower Bridge is lifting or the City side is jammed, the driver can stay south of the river, following the Old Kent Road and the A2 to the A102 and taking the Silvertown or Blackwall tunnel under the Thames to Silvertown, a few minutes from the airport.

Waterloo to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Waterloo to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much is a taxi from Waterloo to London City Airport?
The fare shown above is the fixed, all-in price for a saloon, and the table gives every other vehicle size. It covers the airport drop-off charge and any river-tunnel charge, and stays the same at any hour.
How long does it take to drive from Waterloo to London City?
Allow the drive time shown above whether the driver uses Tower Bridge or one of the tunnels. Queues at Tower Bridge or the tunnel approach can add time in the rush hours, so the driver chooses the crossing on the day.
