Door to terminal
What the Woking to London City run includes
London City sits in the Royal Docks in east London, so unlike the other four airports the drive from Woking runs through the city rather than round it. Each booking carries the same essentials both ways.
Under the Thames
The Blackwall Tunnel, or the Silvertown Tunnel, opened in April 2025, which comes up in Silvertown beside the Royal Docks.
A compact terminal
One small terminal, so the drop-off and the walk to check-in are short.
Flights followed
Coming home, the driver works from the tracked landing time, with 45 minutes' free waiting.
Business cars
A Mercedes-Benz E-Class for a meeting-day flight, or a standard saloon.
Groups
A large MPV for up to 8 passengers flying together.
Who books it
Who takes a taxi from Woking to London City
People flying for work to meetings in Europe or elsewhere in the UK, who want to reach the terminal without changing trains across London with a case. Families and weekend travellers book it too.
Business flyers
An E-Class timed to the flight and billed to a business account.
Short city breaks
Weekend flights from the docks without an early train across town.
Evening arrivals
A car waiting after a late landing for the drive back west to Woking.
No meter
How your fixed price works
On a drive across London a meter would charge you for every slow junction. The Woking to London City fare is agreed before you travel instead, so central London traffic changes the journey time, not the price.

The return leg
London City to Woking
LCYWOKLanding at London City rather than leaving from it? We run the London City to Woking direction as well, about 51 miles door to door, booked ahead just like the outward trip. A compact single terminal — the car park is directly outside arrivals. Meet-and-greet can be added on request.
Because the flight is tracked, a delay at London City does not leave you without a car, and there are 45 minutes of free waiting built into the pickup. Flying back as a family or a group? The 8 seater taxi keeps everyone in one car to Woking; tell us how many bags you are bringing when you book and we will confirm the right vehicle. You get a fixed price up front for the Woking run; call 01483 830830 or use the form.

FAQ
Woking to London City taxi questions
The questions Woking customers ask about the London City run, answered from the measured route and from how the office books it. Anything we have not covered, ask on WhatsApp.
How long does a taxi take from Woking to London City?
Typically 85–115 minutes. The gap between the two figures is wide because the drive crosses London, where traffic matters more than distance. For a morning flight the office plans around the upper figure.
How far is London City from Woking?
About 51 miles by road. That is the distance a car drives across London to the Royal Docks, not the straight-line distance, which is why the time is long for the mileage.
How much is a taxi from Woking to London City?
We quote one fixed price rather than running a meter. Send the date, time, passengers and vehicle on WhatsApp, use the form or call 01483 830830, and the office replies with a price for the journey.
Can you pick me up from London City and take me to Woking?
Yes. The driver follows your inbound flight and meets you at the compact terminal, with 45 minutes' free waiting from landing. Meet-and-greet inside arrivals can be added when you book.
Do you run this journey at night?
Yes. The office takes bookings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including early departures and late arrivals. Book ahead for anything before about 6am so a car is allocated to you.
Which way does the driver go to London City?
Either up the A3 into London and through the Blackwall Tunnel or the Silvertown Tunnel, or round the M25 to the A13. Which one depends on the traffic that day; the fare is fixed either way.
Is London City or Heathrow closer to Woking?
Heathrow, by a long way: about 18 miles, 25–40 minutes, against 51 miles, 85–115 minutes for London City. The choice usually comes down to where the flight goes. We quote either at a fixed fare.
