Door to terminal
What the Guildford to London City transfer includes
London City sits in the Royal Docks, about six miles east of the City of London, so the drive from Guildford crosses the capital and traffic matters more than distance. Each booking carries the same essentials.
One terminal
London City has a single passenger terminal, so there is only one place to drop you and one place to meet you.
Flight tracking
Collections follow the live arrival time, so an early or late landing moves the pickup.
Waiting time
45 minutes' free waiting on London City pickups, from landing to the kerb.
Business cars
A Mercedes-Benz E-Class for a City meeting, or a company account for regular flights.
Groups
The large MPV takes up to 8 passengers. Tell us how many bags you are bringing when you book and we will confirm the right vehicle.
Who books it
Who books a taxi from Guildford to London City
People on business, flying short-haul from an airport about three miles from Canary Wharf, and Guildford travellers who found a better flight from London City and would rather not cross London by train with a case.
Business travellers
An early car to the first flight of the day, or a pickup after a late return.
Instead of the train
By rail it is a train to Waterloo, then the Underground and the DLR, which has its own station at the terminal.
Coming home
Many customers book only the London City pickup, for the long drive back to Surrey.

How your fixed price works
Your Guildford to London City fare is set when you book, not when you arrive. The drive crosses London, and a slow tunnel approach is our problem rather than an extra on your bill, because the price is agreed first.

Address and time
The quote starts from your pickup address in or around Guildford and the time of your flight.

The vehicle
From a saloon to the E-Class or the 8 seater, the car you choose sets the rest of the price.

London City to Guildford

FAQ
Guildford to London City taxi questions
What people ask before booking the Guildford to London City run, answered from the measured route and from how the office takes bookings. Anything else, ask on WhatsApp.
How long does a taxi take from Guildford to London City?
Typically 85–105 minutes. The lower figure is quiet running; the higher one allows for normal weekday traffic across London and at the tunnel approaches. For an early flight, plan around the upper end.
How far is London City from Guildford?
About 65 miles by road. That is the driving distance rather than the straight-line distance, and the route crosses or circles London, so the time depends on traffic more than on the miles.
How much is a taxi from Guildford to London City?
We quote a fixed price before you travel rather than running a meter, so the figure you are given is the figure you pay. Send the date, time and vehicle on WhatsApp, or call 01483 830830, for a price.
Can you pick me up from London City and take me to Guildford?
Yes. London City has a single terminal, so there is one arrivals hall to meet you in, and meet-and-greet can be added on request. We track the inbound flight, and 45 minutes' free waiting time is included.
Do you run this journey at night?
Yes. The office takes bookings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. London City itself does not run overnight flights, so the car is usually needed for an early-morning departure or an evening arrival, and both are covered.
Is Heathrow or London City closer to Guildford?
Heathrow, by a long way: about 27 miles, 35–50 minutes, against 65 miles, 85–105 minutes for London City. London City suits flights that only go from there; we quote either at a fixed price.
