Check the fare for your exact address

Prices depend on the terminal, destination, vehicle and stops. Use the booking form for the full fare before payment.

The form starts with your destination search. Select the exact address or terminal from the suggestions to confirm the route.

Compare your journey options

The DLR serves London City Airport and connects with the wider TfL network. Compare the necessary changes and the walk from your destination station with a car to your hotel or office entrance. A short road distance still needs a traffic allowance.

For Canary Wharf, compare the DLR connection and the walk to your building with a private car to the agreed vehicle entrance. The airport's broad Central London journey estimate does not represent a guaranteed time to Canary Wharf. Enter the actual postcode for your fare.

Check the airport's official transport guide for current services and ticket information.

Plan your airport pickup

Enter your scheduled flight arrival date and time in London local time, not an estimated meeting time. Add your flight number so we can monitor changes. Airport arrivals include 60 minutes of waiting from actual landing, with parking during that period included in your quoted fare. We monitor your flight and adjust collection if it lands late, with no extra charge solely for a flight delay. Hotel, home and station pickups include 10 minutes from the booked pickup time. Contact us promptly if immigration or baggage collection takes longer. Extra waiting is arranged in 15-minute blocks: the team will quote the waiting charge and any additional parking separately and obtain your agreement before extending the wait. No extra charge is automatic.

Short distance, specific destination

Canary Wharf is close to London City Airport, but the exact building and dock crossing still matter. Enter the tower, hotel or apartment address and any reception or loading instructions.

An office entrance and a nearby hotel are not interchangeable. Add both as stops only when you need both destinations in the same booked journey.

Canary Wharf reception checklist

Ask reception for the vehicle entrance, building number and a contact who can help the driver locate the correct door. Give your visitor the same instructions; a station name or tower name alone may not identify the entrance.

If you need building security clearance, luggage storage or help moving equipment, arrange it with the building before travel. Include a second destination as a stop if your hotel and meeting venue are different buildings.

Airport meeting and business timings

London City has one main passenger terminal. Add the arriving flight number and follow the meeting arrangement confirmed by the team after collecting your luggage.

Do not assume a short road distance guarantees a particular arrival time. Leave a buffer before meetings, conference registration or restaurant reservations.

Check the route fare

The booking form shows the fare for the actual building, selected vehicle and any stops before payment. Count every passenger and bag, including presentation cases or equipment.

For Canary Wharf to London City Airport, arrange collection from a clear building entrance and work back from the airline's check-in guidance.
