London City Airport to Cambridge, via the M11.

London City Airport to Cambridge is about 56 miles and roughly 75 minutes, north on the M11 with no need to go round the M25. Cambridge restricts traffic across its historic centre, so the drop-off point is worth agreeing when you book. Fixed fare here, or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The City Airport to Cambridge route

North from the Royal Docks on the A406 North Circular to the M11, then straight up to junction 13 or 14 for Cambridge. Around 56 miles and about 74 minutes.
City is a genuinely good airport for Cambridge. The M11 runs almost directly between them, so unlike journeys from Gatwick you avoid the M25 entirely, and the drive is around 55 miles shorter. If you have a choice of arrival airport, this is the easy one.

Getting into Cambridge itself

Cambridge limits vehicle access across much of the historic core with bus gates and pedestrianised streets that private hire vehicles cannot use. Several college entrances sit on roads effectively closed to through traffic.

The colleges

Tell us which one and we will get you to the nearest legal set-down, often a short walk from the lodge.

Cambridge station

Designated set-down and straightforward access.

Addenbrooke's Hospital

Its own access roads on the southern edge.

The science and business parks

On the outskirts with proper access and space for a larger vehicle.

What tends to affect the time

The North Circular

The first few miles, and slow at both peaks.

M11 junction 14

The Cambridge exit, congested at rush hour.

Term dates

Start and end of term weekends are noticeably busier.

Stansted traffic

The M11 carries airport traffic and is busier in the early morning as a result.

Practical details

Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board. This is our optional meet and greet service. If you'd rather not add it, your driver phones you once you're on the ground to agree where to meet. We track the inbound flight so a delay moves the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
Two with cases fit a saloon comfortably on this run. For a student arriving at the start of term with a full load, the eight seater takes what a car simply cannot.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
