Airport Transfers
Executive and group transfers for London City Airport in the Royal Docks, a short drive from Canary Wharf, the City and ExCeL London.
London City Airport
London City Airport sits in the Royal Docks in Newham, East London, closer to the capital’s financial districts than any other London airport. Its single terminal and compact layout make it a favourite with business travellers on UK and European routes.
Covent Group Travel arranges chauffeur and group transfers to and from London City. Send your flight details and the team will confirm availability and a quote.
LONDON CITY TRANSFERS
London City Airport is built for short journeys. Travellers often fly in for a day of meetings in the City or Canary Wharf and fly out again the same evening, so the transfer at each end needs to be well timed and dependable.
Our S-Class and E-Class are natural fits for executives, while the V-Class suits small delegations travelling together. As our home area around Leyton in East London is relatively close to the Royal Docks, London City is one of the airports we know particularly well. Every journey is confirmed by the team in advance.
THE TERMINAL
London City operates from a single terminal in the Royal Docks, with its runway laid along the former quay between the Royal Albert and King George V Docks. Because the runway is short, the airport is used mainly by smaller aircraft on UK and European routes.
The terminal is compact compared with the larger London airports, and London City Airport DLR station is right beside it. For road transfers, the team confirms the pickup and drop-off arrangements when your booking is finalised; these can differ for larger vehicles, so mention your group size at the outset.
PICKUP AND DEPARTURES
With a compact terminal, arriving passengers can reach the exit relatively quickly, so accurate flight information is especially important for timing your collection. Send your flight number and the team will plan around it. A meet-and-greet can be requested and will be confirmed if available.
For departures, the short distance from the City and Canary Wharf can be deceptive. Roads around the Royal Docks, the A13 and the approaches to the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels can be busy at peak times. Give us your flight time and the team will suggest a sensible collection time. The airport applies its own drop-off and parking arrangements, and the team will explain how these affect your quote.

LONDON CITY TO CENTRAL LONDON
London City Airport is roughly 7 miles east of the City of London and only a few miles from Canary Wharf. Road routes typically use the A1020 and A13 westward towards Limehouse and the City, or the A12 and Lower Lea Crossing to Canary Wharf. For destinations south of the river, the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels connect towards Greenwich. ExCeL London is close by in the Royal Docks.
Journeys to the West End are longer, passing through the City or along the Embankment. All journey times are traffic dependent, and typically peak hours are slower. We do not guarantee journey times.
HOTELS AND BUSINESS
London City's location makes it a common arrival point for visitors staying in hotels around Canary Wharf, the City and the Royal Docks. We arrange hotel transfers for individual guests and for small groups arriving together.
For businesses, our corporate travel and executive chauffeur services cover arrivals, meetings and departures in a single day, with hourly options on request. Exhibitors and delegates heading to ExCeL London can be planned through conference and exhibition transport.
LUGGAGE AND FLIGHTS
Send your flight number, scheduled time and the lead passenger's name and mobile number. For same-day returns, include both flights and the addresses of any meetings in between, so the team can consider whether an hourly booking would suit you better than separate transfers.
Business travellers through London City often carry only cabin bags, but presentation materials, exhibition equipment or longer-stay luggage change the picture. Describe what you will bring, and the team will confirm the right vehicle. If your flight changes, let the team know as soon as possible.
