FAQ
City Airport to East Dulwich — common questions
How much is a taxi from London City Airport to East Dulwich?
A fixed-price saloon starts from £42 to SE22, confirmed at booking. That includes meet-and-greet with a name board, flight tracking and 45 minutes free waiting from actual landing. No meter, no surge.
How long does LCY to East Dulwich take?
Around 8.5 miles — typically 30–35 minutes evenings and weekends, 40–45 minutes in weekday peaks, via the Blackwall Tunnel and A2 or the Rotherhithe Tunnel.
Do you cover Sunday-evening arrivals?
Yes — it's our busiest window on this route. LCY reopens Sunday afternoon after its weekend break, so returning flights bunch into the evening. Same fixed price at any hour, driver waiting in arrivals.
Where does my driver meet me at City Airport?
In the single arrivals hall with a name board, just beyond the doors. The hall is compact — you'll spot your name in seconds — and it's a one-minute walk to the pickup area.
Is a taxi better than the DLR to East Dulwich?
East Dulwich has no tube, so public transport means DLR → Jubilee → London Bridge → Southern rail or bus: 60–75 minutes with luggage, often disrupted by Sunday engineering works. A door-to-door taxi takes 30–45 minutes at a fixed fare.
What if my flight lands early or late?
We dispatch to your actual landing time, not your booking time. LCY hops often land early — your driver adjusts automatically at no charge, and 45 minutes of free waiting starts from touchdown.
Which streets do you cover in East Dulwich?
Every address in SE22 — Lordship Lane, Goose Green, Dog Kennel Hill, plus the grid off Underhill Road including Crebor Street, Friern Road, Barry Road, Upland Road and Crystal Palace Road — and fixed-price onward routes into Dulwich Village, Herne Hill and Nunhead.
Is it cheaper than an app car on a Sunday night?
App prices surge exactly when this route is busiest — Sunday evenings before the curfew. Our fare is fixed days in advance and never moves. See our taxi vs Uber comparison.
Can one passenger with suitcases book a saloon?
Absolutely — that's the classic booking on this route, and a saloon at the lowest fixed fare is the right fit. Families and heavier loads can book estates, MPVs or 8-seaters, all fixed-price.
