Why Travel With Us

The Easiest Way to Get Your Group from Kent to London City

London City Airport sits in the Royal Docks — close to Canary Wharf and the City, but awkward to reach by public transport from Kent with a group and luggage. One minibus solves it.

From most of Kent, we head west along the A2 and through the Blackwall Tunnel into east London, dropping you directly at LCY’s single terminal — door to check-in, no rail changes, no Tube with bags.

London City is a compact, business-focused airport. Check-in and security are fast, and the terminal is small enough to navigate quickly. Our drivers know exactly where to set down for departures and where to wait for arrivals.

We monitor your inbound flight in real time. If it lands early or late, we adjust accordingly. Your driver will be in arrivals with a name board — no chasing taxis, no guessing which exit.

  • Fixed price agreed before you book — no meter running in traffic
  • Groups from 2 to 16 people in one comfortable vehicle
  • Ample luggage space for hold bags, cabin bags and sports equipment
  • Infant seats and booster seats available on request
  • Corporate accounts and invoicing available
  • No unsociable hours surcharge for early or late pickups

Route Information

How We Get You from Kent to London City

Unlike Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted, London City does not require the Dartford Crossing from most Kent pickup points. We head west through Kent and in via the A2 and Blackwall Tunnel.

1

Pickup from your Kent address

We come to your door — home, hotel or office. No need to make your own way to a station or car park.

2

A2 westbound through north Kent

We join the A2 or M2 and head west. Most routes avoid central London entirely.

3

Blackwall Tunnel into east London

The Blackwall Tunnel takes us under the Thames into the Royal Docks area — no toll, no Dartford diversion needed.

4

Drop-off at LCY Terminal

We set you down at the terminal forecourt. London City is small — check-in is steps away from the entrance.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting from Kent to London City Airport by minibus.

How long does it take to get from Kent to London City Airport? ⌄
Journey times vary by pickup location. From Dartford and Gravesend, allow around 30–45 minutes. From Maidstone or Chatham, around 55–70 minutes. From Canterbury, 75–90 minutes and from Dover, 90–110 minutes. Traffic through the Blackwall Tunnel can add time during peak hours, so we always advise a generous buffer and will recommend the right departure time when you book.
Does the route from Kent to London City use the DartFord Crossing? ⌄
No. Unlike journeys to Stansted, Luton or Heathrow which typically cross at Dartford, the route to London City Airport runs west along the A2 and into east London via the Blackwall Tunnel. There is no Dartford Crossing toll on this route, and no toll charge is included in or added to our price.
Is there a ULEZ or Congestion Charge for the journey? ⌄
Our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant so there is no ULEZ surcharge. The route via the A2 and Blackwall Tunnel does not pass through the Congestion Charge zone, so no Congestion Charge applies. The price we quote is the price you pay — no zone charges added afterwards.
Can you do very early morning pickups for London City? ⌄
Yes — we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no unsociable hours surcharge. London City has some early morning business flights, and we regularly do 04:00 and 05:00 pickups from across Kent. The price is exactly the same as a daytime pickup.
Where does the driver drop us for departures at London City? ⌄
We set down at the terminal forecourt on the departures level. London City has a single, compact terminal — once you step out of the vehicle, check-in desks are a very short walk. We will stay until you have your luggage and are ready to go in.
What if my inbound flight to London City is delayed? ⌄
We monitor your inbound flight in real time. If it is delayed, we adjust the pickup time accordingly and wait at no extra charge. Your driver will be in the arrivals hall at London City with a name board. Because LCY has a single terminal, there is only one arrivals area — simple and straightforward.
How much luggage can we bring to London City? ⌄
Our 8-seater handles standard cabin and hold luggage for up to 8 passengers. If you have oversized items such as golf bags, ski equipment or pushchairs, please let us know when booking and we will confirm the right vehicle. Our 12 and 16-seater vehicles have generous luggage space. London City does have stricter weight limits on some routes, so do check your airline’s baggage policy in advance.
Do you offer corporate accounts for regular London City runs? ⌄
Yes — London City is popular with business travellers, and we offer corporate accounts with monthly invoicing, fixed preferred rates, and priority booking. Call us to discuss a corporate arrangement if your team travels to LCY regularly from Kent offices.
