We provide a cheap, reliable taxi service from South London to London City Airport, running local minicabs across the area every day of the week. Book your cab online in a couple of minutes, get an instant price quote, and travel on a fixed fare with nothing extra added at the end of the journey.
Our drivers cover every corner of South London, from Croydon to Sutton and beyond, and get you to LCY in good time for your flight. Search for a taxi near me and you'll find us ready around the clock, whether it's an early business departure or a family holiday send-off.
Nobody wants to haggle over a fare at 4am with a suitcase in hand. That's why every trip gets a fixed price quote before you book, not an estimate that magically grows once you're in the car. Punch in your pickup address and London City Airport as the drop-off, pick the car size you need, and you'll see the exact price straight away.
Payment is simple too. Card, bank transfer, or cash to the driver, whichever suits you best. There's no meter running and no surge pricing just because it's raining or your flight lands at midnight.
Our online booking system works from your phone just as well as a laptop. Most bookings take under two minutes from start to finish, and you get instant confirmation by text and email so you know it's locked in.
Not every journey needs the same car. We keep a mixed fleet so solo travellers, families and groups all get something that fits.
Every vehicle is checked regularly and kept clean, because turning up to a flight in a scruffy cab is nobody's idea of a good start to a trip.
South London is huge, and every corner of it has its own feel. We cover Croydon, Sutton, Bromley, Streatham, Norbury, Purley, Thornton Heath, Mitcham, Wallington, Carshalton and Coulsdon, plus the smaller streets in between that satnavs sometimes miss. Our drivers know these roads properly, not just the postcode, so they pick shortcuts when the A23 or A232 gets clogged.
Book a cab from any of these areas and you get the same fixed price and the same friendly service. There is no "central London premium" tacked on just because you live further out. A local minicab firm should treat every passenger the same, whether you are five minutes from the taxi rank or forty.
Croydon is our busiest patch, and it makes sense why. It's a proper transport hub with East Croydon and West Croydon stations both feeding thousands of commuters a day. If you step outside East Croydon station you will spot the taxi rank right by the main entrance, handy if you fancy grabbing a cab on the spot rather than booking ahead.
The drive from Croydon to London City Airport covers roughly 14 miles and takes around 40 to 50 minutes outside rush hour, longer if the Blackwall Tunnel or the A2 is having one of its days. Book your Croydon airport taxi ahead of time and your driver will build the traffic into your pickup slot, so you are not stood on the pavement watching your flight window shrink.
Sutton has a quieter pace than Croydon but plenty of people travelling for work through LCY, given how close the airport sits to Canary Wharf and the City. Sutton railway station has its own taxi rank too, tucked near the station forecourt, though most locals now just book online and skip the queue altogether.
From Sutton, expect a journey of about 16 miles to London City Airport, usually 45 to 55 minutes by road. Wallington and Carshalton sit just next door and get the same fair pricing, so a short hop over the border does not mean a random price jump.
Bromley sits a touch closer to the Kent side of South London, and that actually works in your favour for LCY runs since the airport is over towards the east. From Bromley South, the trip is closer to 12 miles, often done in 35 to 45 minutes when the roads are behaving.
Bromley South station has taxis waiting outside most hours of the day, but for early flights it's worth booking your cab the night before. Beckenham, Penge and Shortlands passengers get picked up on the same schedule, no extra callout charge for being a mile or two off the main road.
These three sit closer to central London, which shaves a bit off your journey. From Streatham it's roughly 10 miles to LCY, and Norbury or Thornton Heath are much the same, generally under 40 minutes when traffic plays fair. Streatham High Road can back up badly on weekday mornings, so tell your driver your flight time and they will factor in a buffer.
Landing after a long flight is tiring enough without hunting for your driver in a car park. Book our meet and greet option and your driver waits inside the arrivals area holding a sign with your name on it. They'll grab your bags and walk you straight to the car, no messing about.
We track your flight in real time as well, so if you're delayed on the runway or held up at customs, your driver already knows and adjusts your pickup time. You won't be charged extra for a late landing that wasn't your fault.
London City Airport sits right in the Royal Docks, just a few miles east of Canary Wharf and the City of London, which is exactly why so many business travellers use it. It's a small airport as these things go, with one short runway, which means quicker check-ins and shorter walks to your gate compared with the bigger London airports. Flights here tend to serve European business routes along with a handful of leisure destinations, and the DLR runs right into the terminal if you ever fancy the train instead of a cab.
People come back to us for the same handful of reasons every time.
Getting to London City Airport doesn't need to be stressful. Book your minicab online now, get your fixed price quote in seconds, and let a local driver handle the roads while you focus on getting to your gate. Early morning flight or a late arrival home, we've got a cab ready either way.
