Landing at London City Airport? Let us take the stress off
Your driver is waiting with a name board the moment you come through customs into arrivals – not in a car park, not on the phone. We track the flight, so a late landing costs you nothing, and the first 60 minutes after the plane lands are free waiting time. Luggage trolleys, a child seat, a wheelchair-friendly car: tell us when you book and it is ready.
SIM card and money on the way. Still carrying your own currency? That is fine: every car takes cards and contactless, so you need no pounds in hand for the journey. If you want a UK SIM or some cash, say so and your driver will point you to the kiosks in arrivals (SIM cards: WHSmith; currency: no bureau de change airside – use a cash machine or change in town) or, usually cheaper, stop at a supermarket, Post Office or bank on the route to Canary Wharf. Our local drivers know where the fair rates and the working cash machines are – trust them to sort it in minutes.
Disabled-friendly arrival.Special assistance: Book via your airline at least 48h ahead. Step-free: Compact single terminal; DLR station step-free. Airport accessibility page Our driver meets you at the assistance desk if you prefer, carries folding wheelchairs and walkers free, and assistance dogs always travel with you at no charge.

Vegan and gluten-free options are marked on almost every London menu – just ask. The airport shops sell the same tea tins and biscuits at 2–3 times the supermarket price, so buy souvenirs in town.
Fixed-price taxi from London City Airport (LCY) to Canary Wharf, Westferry, Limehouse and the Isle of Dogs — with your driver waiting in the arrivals hall holding a name board, flight tracked to your actual landing. Straight to your hotel door — Premier Inn Westferry, Marriott West India Quay, Novotel, Hilton and every E14 address. From £85, fixed at booking. No meter, no surge, no morning-peak premium. TfL licensed.
One of the shortest airport transfers in London: roughly 3–4 miles from the LCY forecourt across the Royal Docks and along Aspen Way (A1261) into Canary Wharf, Westferry and Limehouse. Door to door in 12–18 minutes most of the day, and rarely more than 25 even in the Friday-morning peak.
For an 08:50 arrival, that means walking out of the terminal to a waiting driver and being at your hotel reception — Limehouse Causeway, West India Quay or South Quay — well before 9:30, luggage handled the whole way. Early check-in not ready? Your driver drops you at the door and the hotel holds your bags.

Serving

Airport Pickup
LCY arrivals pickup — the easiest meet & greet in London
London City is a single, compact terminal — no terminal numbers, no trains between buildings, no ten-minute walks. Morning arrivals come in from Amsterdam, Zurich, Frankfurt, Geneva, Edinburgh, Dublin and Luxembourg, and your driver is in the arrivals hall with a name board directly in front of the exit doors. We dispatch to your actual landing time, not your booking time, so an early or delayed flight changes nothing.
Before you land
Booking confirmed by SMS in minutes. Driver name, vehicle and registration sent ahead of your scheduled landing. We track the flight — delays are handled automatically, no calls needed.
In the arrivals hall
LCY arrivals is one small hall — your driver stands with a name board right where you walk out. 60 minutes of free waiting starts from your actual landing time; at City, most passengers are kerbside within 20 minutes of touchdown.
To the car
Luggage handled, then a short walk to the pickup area just outside the terminal — no shuttle buses, no car park hunt.
To your hotel door
Fixed fare already agreed. Aspen Way straight into Canary Wharf — at your hotel reception in E14 typically within 15 minutes of leaving the airport.
Flying into a different airport on the return? We cover arrivals meet & greet at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton too — see our meet & greet service.
Morning Arrivals & Hotels
Landing at 9am on a Friday? Skip the commuter crush
The 08:00–10:00 window at LCY is wall-to-wall European business arrivals — exactly when the DLR toward Canary Wharf is at its most packed. Two passengers with suitcases on a rush-hour platform, a change part-way, escalators at both ends… or a driver holding your name, a 15-minute drive, and your cases carried to the hotel door. Same fixed price at 8:50am as at 2pm.
Example
How an 08:50 pickup works
~08:35 — your flight touches down at LCY; our system logs the actual landing and dispatches your driver. ~08:50 — you're through the compact arrivals hall; driver is by the doors with your name board. ~08:55 — luggage loaded, away on Aspen Way. ~09:10 — at your hotel door on Limehouse Causeway, checked in or bags stored before your first meeting.
Hotel-door service
Every Canary Wharf hotel, to the door
Premier Inn Westferry, Marriott West India Quay, Novotel Canary Wharf, Hilton, Britannia and the Marsh Wall apart-hotels — give us the hotel name at booking and the driver takes you to the correct entrance, not a postcode-satnav side street. Ideal for first visits to London.
No surprises
Landing time, not booking time
Flight early? The driver comes early. Delayed an hour? The driver comes an hour later, at no charge — and your 60 minutes of free waiting still starts from the moment you actually land.

Business Travel
The Canary Wharf arrival, handled

Regular traveller or booking for colleagues? Ask about business accounts with monthly invoicing — one email books every visitor's transfer.
A Transport for London Private Hire Operator — not a rideshare aggregator. Drivers are contracted directly to Rushxo.

Meet & greet on every arrival

Hotel-door knowledge
Drivers who know every E14 hotel entrance — including the ones satnavs get wrong — so first-time visitors step out at reception, not a service road.
Short runs welcome
A 4-mile job gets the same pre-booked certainty as a 40-mile one — no driver hunting for a "better" fare at the kerb.

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 £85 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.
