Heathrow Airport to London City Airport, via the M4 and A13.

We run Heathrow to London City Airport transfers around the clock, with the fare settled before you travel rather than a meter running on the day. It is 27 miles by road and takes about 1 hour 12 minutes when the roads are clear. Every Heathrow terminal, plus hotels around the airport perimeter.

How the Heathrow to London City Airport journey runs

Drivers take the M4 east into the A4, along the Embankment and through the Limehouse Link to the A13 and the A1020, or out along the A40 and A406 North Circular when the centre is heavy. That is 27 miles end to end, about 1 hour 12 minutes off-peak and nearer 1 hour 37 minutes when the network is busy.
Crossing London is the whole journey here. Traffic, not distance, decides the timing, which is why we allow generously on connecting flights.

Getting into London City Airport

London City is a single terminal on Hartmann Road, with the drop-off directly outside the departures door — one of the shortest kerb-to-gate walks of any UK airport.
The direct route crosses the Congestion Charge zone; the northern route avoids it. Both sit inside the ULEZ.

To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
