A London City airport transfer is a pre-booked private car that meets you inside the terminal and drives you door to door. London City (LCY) is the closest of the capital's airports to the financial districts, about three miles from Canary Wharf in the Royal Docks, and it runs from a single terminal. Westway Ride covers it under Transport for London licence 73850301.
An airport where the road is the variable
LCY is built for speed. The walk from check-in to the departure lounge takes about two minutes and the DLR platform sits beside the terminal, so the airport itself rarely costs you time. The roads around it are the constraint: the Limehouse Link, the Blackwall Tunnel and the approaches through Canning Town carry more than they were built for, and a single incident reshapes the area. A driver who works this side of London reads that before setting off.
That suits journeys ending somewhere other than the Docklands. The City, Liverpool Street, Moorgate and the West End are short runs, and the car stays with you rather than a route being replanned at each change. Cross-airport transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted are routine. We run the same service from every London airport, and firms booking regularly use a corporate account.
Travel Time, Distance & Pricing
A London City Airport (LCY) transfer to central London typically takes about 35 minutes, depending on traffic, over roughly 10 miles. Your chauffeur watches live traffic and takes the fastest route, and because your fare is fixed before you travel, delays never cost you more. London City fares start from £95 for a Mercedes E Class, set by distance from the Westway price sheet and shown in full before you book, meet and greet, flight tracking, parking and standard tolls all included, with no surge pricing.
How your fare is set

They have been perfectly reliable, easy to communicate with, and flexible when there are last minute changes to flights. All of the drivers have been very polite and professional. I highly recommend this company and plan to continue to use them regularly."

questions
Everything you need to know about your transfer.
Fares start at £95 in a Mercedes E Class and are fixed when you book, which makes this the most affordable of the London airports to reach by car simply because it is the nearest. Parking and standard tolls are already in the price, and nothing is added afterwards.
No, there is a single passenger terminal. That keeps the meeting point simple: one arrivals hall, one place your chauffeur waits, whichever airline you have flown with.
About 35 minutes over roughly 10 miles, though the City and Canary Wharf are considerably closer. Traffic through the Docklands and the Limehouse Link is the usual variable, and since the fare is fixed a slow run costs time rather than money.
The DLR is genuinely good here and reaches Canary Wharf in about ten minutes, so for a single traveller with a laptop bag it is hard to beat. A car wins when you are carrying luggage, travelling as a group, heading for the West End rather than the Docklands, or moving at an hour when changes and escalators are the last thing you want.
Yes, on every arrival. Your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name board and takes the bags out to the car. Given how compact the terminal is, you are usually in the vehicle within a couple of minutes of clearing the hall.
Nothing changes and nothing extra is charged. Your driver holds the flight number and follows the live landing, so a delay simply pushes the pickup back. An early arrival normally means the car is already there.
Up to 60 minutes from touchdown as standard. London City clears passengers quickly, so the full hour is rarely needed, but it is there for the days when it is.
Fixed. The price is agreed before you book and does not move with traffic, waiting or time of day. No meter runs while you sit still and there is no surge pricing at peak hours.
Yes, and these are our most frequent runs from LCY given how close they sit. Bank, Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Canary Wharf and the Square Mile are all short journeys, which is precisely why the airport is popular with business travellers.
Yes. A Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 and a Vito up to 8, both with luggage space to match, and minibuses handle larger parties. One booking, one driver and one fixed price keeps a team together and usually costs less per head than separate cars.
Yes, free of charge. Give us the ages when booking so the correct seat is fitted before the car sets off, since it cannot be arranged once the driver is on the way.
Yes. London City to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton are common bookings, often for a connection with little room to spare. The inbound flight is tracked so the pickup follows the real landing time.
Yes. Westway Ride holds Transport for London operator licence 73850301, and every chauffeur is licensed, background checked and insured for private hire work. Vehicles are cleaned before each shift.
From three hours before pickup at the earliest, which is the minimum needed to confirm a driver and car. Business travellers on a fixed schedule tend to book the whole itinerary at once, and early weekday slots fill fastest.
