02 / COMPARISONDLR vs taxi from London City
The DLR from Canary Wharf — is genuinely quick and inexpensive — a few stops to Canary Wharf or Bank — and ideal if you're travelling light. A fixed-fare taxi earns its place when you have luggage or presentation kit, are heading to a specific office door, arrive outside DLR hours, or simply want to step off the plane and into a waiting car for a composed business arrival.
03 / BUSINESSThe easy choice for business travellers
London City is built for business, and a pre-booked transfer matches that: your driver tracks the flight, meets you in arrivals with a name board, and drives you straight to the office, hotel or meeting. The fare is fixed and expensable — no surge, no meter, one clean figure for your records — and executive cars are available for client-facing arrivals.
04 / TIMEJourney times from London City
Expect roughly 15–25 minutes to Canary Wharf, 20–35 minutes to the City, and a little longer to the West End, depending on traffic through the Limehouse and Blackwall approaches. Because the fare is fixed, congestion never changes the price.
