London City Airport is small and close to Canary Wharf, which makes it popular with business travellers. From Edgware, though, it is right across the city, and the journey by Tube and DLR takes several changes. An Edgware to London City Airport taxi takes you straight there, with a fixed price agreed before you travel.
We are a cab facilitator, so we link you with licensed local minicab and taxi companies who quote for your journey. Book online, call 02037405080, or send us a WhatsApp message.
Route and typical journey time
The usual route runs east along the North Circular (A406), then down to the Royal Docks on the A13 or nearby roads. The North Circular can be slow at rush hour, so the driver may choose another route depending on traffic.
| Typical distance | About 18 to 22 miles |
|---|---|
| Typical journey time | 50 to 75 minutes, longer at peak times |
| Main roads | A406 North Circular and A13 |
| Terminal | One compact terminal |
| Booking | Online, by phone or WhatsApp, 24/7 |
Times are typical. Weekday mornings are the busiest period, which is also when many business flights leave. Give yourself a buffer.
A good fit for business travel
Many London City flights are short business trips, often out and back in a day. A pre-booked car fits that well: a set pick-up time from home or the office, a known price, and a driver waiting when you land in the evening. If your company needs regular bookings, call us to talk through how it can work. Travelling with colleagues? A larger vehicle such as a 7 seater taxi keeps the team together.
Tips for London City Airport
- The airport is compact, so you can get from the drop-off point to check-in quickly. Still, check your airline's latest check-in and bag drop times.
- Give us your flight number for return pick-ups.
- If you are heading on to a hotel instead of home, our hotel transfer taxi service covers that too.
Is a cab the cheapest option?
On your own with a small bag, the Tube and DLR will usually be cheaper. When time matters, when you have luggage, or when two or three people are sharing, a fixed price minicab is often worth it. You can compare quotes from local cab companies online before you decide.
