Canary Wharf to London City Airport Taxi – Fixed Price Quote, Book Online 24/7
Fixed-price taxi from Canary Wharf, Westferry, Limehouse and every E14 hotel to London City Airport. Your driver meets you at the hotel lobby at checkout, loads the cases while you hand back the key, and has you at LCY departures in about 15 minutes — the fastest kerb-to-gate airport in London. From £135, fixed at booking, timed to your flight. No meter, no surge, no Sunday-evening premium. TfL licensed.
The shortest airport run in London: 3–4 miles east along Aspen Way (A1261) and over the Royal Docks to the LCY forecourt. 12–18 minutes most of the day, and even a busy weekday evening rarely stretches it past 25. Your driver drops you steps from the terminal door — one small building, check-in straight ahead.
LCY is built for exactly this trip: security queues measured in minutes, gates a short walk from bag drop. That's why we recommend leaving your hotel just 75–90 minutes before departure — a 17:00 pickup at a Westferry hotel comfortably makes an 18:30 flight, with time for a coffee airside.
Pickups
Canary Wharf & Westferry hotels
Lobby pickups at the Premier Inn London Canary Wharf (Westferry) on Limehouse Causeway, Marriott West India Quay, and the towers and apartments around Westferry Circus and Narrow Street.
Pickups
Isle of Dogs & South Quay
Novotel, Hilton, Britannia and the Marsh Wall apart-hotels, plus every residential address on Millharbour, Crossharbour and the island.
Pickups
Offices, Limehouse & the City
Straight-from-the-desk runs from Canary Wharf offices, plus Limehouse, Poplar, and fixed-price pickups from the City and Liverpool Street for LCY departures.
Hotel Departures
From the lobby to the departure lounge — how it works
The end of a stay has enough moving parts — checkout queues, minibar forms, a last look under the bed. The transfer shouldn't be one of them. Book once with your flight number and hotel name, and the rest runs on rails.
Book with flight number & hotel
We check your departure time and recommend the pickup — usually 75–90 minutes before the flight for LCY. Confirmation by SMS in minutes with the fixed fare.
Checkout morning (or evening)
Driver name, vehicle and registration sent ahead. Running late at checkout? Message the driver — short holds at the hotel are no drama on a 15-minute route.
Lobby meet, luggage loaded
The car pulls up at your hotel entrance at the booked time; the driver messages on arrival and loads the cases while you hand back the keys.
Dropped at the terminal door
Aspen Way to the LCY forecourt — out of the car and at bag drop within a minute. From most E14 hotels, checkout to check-in takes under 20 minutes.
Sunday-evening flight? The classic Canary Wharf checkout
LCY pauses over part of the weekend and reopens Sunday around lunchtime — which makes Sunday afternoon and evening the busiest departure bank of the week: weekenders heading home, business travellers positioning for Monday meetings in Zurich, Amsterdam or Edinburgh. Hotels along Limehouse Causeway and South Quay empty toward the airport from 4pm, and a pre-booked car means your checkout ends with a driver, not a surge screen.
Example
How a 17:00 Sunday pickup works
16:55 — your saloon pulls up at the Premier Inn Westferry entrance; driver messages you. 17:00 — two passengers in, suitcases loaded, away on Aspen Way. 17:15 — dropped at the LCY terminal door. 17:25 — bags dropped, through security — 65 minutes to spare before an 18:30 departure.
Why LCY is different
75–90 minutes is genuinely enough
At Heathrow we'd tell you three hours; LCY isn't Heathrow. One compact terminal, fast bag drop, security in minutes, gates a short walk away. Tell us your flight and we'll set the pickup so you're neither sprinting nor sitting around — the shortest total travel time of any London airport.
No surprises
Evening rates = daytime rates
Sunday evening, bank holiday, 6am Monday — the fixed fare is the same. And if your flight shifts or checkout runs over, tell us: the booking moves, the price doesn't.

Saloon
Up to 4 passengers with 3–5 suitcases plus hand luggage — 2 guests with a case each is the standard checkout run. Modern, air-conditioned, kerbside at the lobby on the minute.
Vehicle
Executive — Mercedes / BMW
Finish the trip the way it started — leather, water, charging and a suited driver for the short hop, from a small step above the saloon fare.
Vehicle
MPV & 8-Seater
Team flying out together after a conference? 6-seaters and 8-seaters take the whole group and the luggage in one vehicle, one fixed price.
Business Travel
Desk at four, gate by half five
Half our runs on this corridor start at an office, not a hotel: Canary Wharf desks emptying toward LCY's evening bank. We collect from tower receptions and loading forecourts across the estate, timed so a 16:30 pickup makes a 17:45 flight with room to spare. Regular flyers and team assistants can put the whole pattern on a business account with monthly invoicing — one email books the week's departures and arrivals both ways.
A Transport for London Private Hire Operator — not a rideshare aggregator. Drivers are contracted directly to Rushxo.
Fixed price, agreed at booking
No meter, no surge, no premium for Sunday evenings — the fare you're quoted at booking is the fare on the day.
Flight-timed pickups
We set the pickup from your departure time and LCY's genuinely quick kerb-to-gate — you're neither rushed nor wasting an hour airside.
Every E14 forecourt known
Hotel entrances, tower receptions, the right lay-bys on Limehouse Causeway — the car is where you expect it, on the minute.
Round trips in one booking
Arrival meet & greet plus departure pickup quoted together — one confirmation covers the whole stay.

FAQ
Canary Wharf to London City Airport — common questions
How much is a taxi from Canary Wharf to London City Airport?
A fixed-price saloon starts from £135 from Canary Wharf, Westferry or anywhere in E14, confirmed at booking. No meter, no surge, no evening surcharge.
What time should I leave for my flight?
The drive is 12–18 minutes and LCY is the fastest kerb-to-gate airport in London — leaving your hotel 75–90 minutes before departure is comfortable for most flights. Give us the flight number and we'll recommend the exact pickup.
Will the driver come to the hotel lobby?
Yes — the car pulls up at your hotel entrance at the booked time, the driver messages on arrival and loads the luggage while you check out. We know every E14 hotel forecourt, including the Premier Inn Westferry on Limehouse Causeway.
Are there Sunday flights from London City Airport?
Yes — LCY reopens on Sunday around lunchtime after its weekend pause, and Sunday afternoon and evening are busy departure banks. Sunday checkout runs from E14 hotels are among our most common bookings on this route.
What if checkout runs late or my flight changes?
Message the driver or call dispatch — short holds at the hotel are easily absorbed on a 15-minute route, and if the flight moves the booking moves with it. The fixed fare doesn't change.
Is it worth a taxi for such a short trip?
With suitcases, yes — the DLR from Westferry means a change en route, stairs and squeezing cases aboard, easily 35–40 minutes door to door. A fixed £135 saloon does it in 15 with the luggage handled.
Can you collect from a Canary Wharf office instead?
Yes — we collect from tower receptions and forecourts across the estate, timed to LCY's evening departure bank. Regular patterns can go on a business account with monthly invoicing.
Can I book my arrival pickup at the same time?
Yes — book the round trip together: name-board meet & greet when you land, lobby pickup when you leave, both legs fixed in one confirmation. See the arrivals page for how the meet works.
Will 2 passengers with suitcases fit in a saloon?
Comfortably — a saloon takes up to 4 passengers with 3–5 large cases plus hand luggage. Two guests with a case each is the classic checkout booking.

Which vehicle for Canary Wharf to London City Airport?

Canary Wharf to London City Airport: how this direction works
Collected in Canary Wharf: the driver comes to the address you give, at the time you give, and the fare to London City Airport is fixed before the journey starts, whatever the traffic does.
Flying from London City Airport: the pickup is at your door in Canary Wharf, the fare is fixed regardless of traffic, and the driver drops at the terminal you are flying from. Book the return at the same time and it is about 10% less.
Compared with an app booking through Uber, Bolt or FreeNow, the fare from Canary Wharf to London City Airport is agreed before you travel rather than quoted when you need the car, so there is no surge pricing and no meter.
The small print, in one line: cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; child seats are fitted free when you give ages at booking; an executive saloon or chauffeur-driven car can be chosen at booking; and Christmas and New Year supplements are shown in your quote before you book (seasonal fares).
