FAQ
London City Airport to Canary Wharf — common questions
How much is a taxi from London City Airport to Canary Wharf?
A fixed-price saloon starts from £28 to Canary Wharf, Westferry or anywhere in E14, confirmed at booking — including name-board meet & greet and flight tracking. No meter, no surge.
How long does LCY to Canary Wharf take?
About 3–4 miles via Aspen Way — typically 12–18 minutes door to door, rarely more than 25 even in the weekday morning peak.
Where does my driver meet me at London City Airport?
In the arrivals hall with a name board, directly in front of the exit doors — LCY is one compact terminal, so there's nowhere to get lost. 60 minutes of free waiting starts from your actual landing time.
Can you drop me at the Premier Inn Canary Wharf (Westferry)?
Yes — right at the door on Limehouse Causeway, E14 8JD. We drop at every E14 hotel entrance: Marriott West India Quay, Novotel, Hilton, Britannia and the South Quay apart-hotels. Just give us the hotel name at booking.
Will 2 passengers with suitcases fit in a saloon?
Comfortably — a saloon takes up to 4 passengers with 3–5 suitcases plus hand luggage. Two travellers with a case each is the classic booking on this route.
What if my flight is early or delayed?
We dispatch to your actual landing time, not your booking time. Land 20 minutes early or an hour late — your driver adjusts automatically at no charge, and free waiting starts from touchdown.
Is a taxi easier than the DLR with luggage?
The DLR connects LCY toward Canary Wharf, but with suitcases it means a change part-way, escalators and stairs, and rush-hour crowds. For two passengers with cases, a fixed-price car door-to-door takes about 15 minutes and costs little more than the tickets — with none of the lifting.
Is there Uber at London City Airport?
App cars serve LCY but surge in the morning peak and wait off-site — you request, then wait and watch the price. A pre-booked fixed-price car is already there when you land, with a name board and a fare agreed days before.
Do you do the return trip to LCY for departures?
Yes — pre-booked pickups from any Canary Wharf hotel or office timed to LCY's quick check-in. Book both legs together and we'll quote the round trip fixed.
