London City Airport

A London airport built around city access

London City Airport is located in the Royal Docks in East London, close to Canary Wharf, Docklands and the City of London. Its location makes it particularly useful for business travel, short city visits, hotels and journeys involving East or Central London.

Unlike London's larger airports, LCY has one passenger terminal. That simplifies terminal selection, although accurate flight and passenger details remain important when arranging an airport pickup.

For departures, pickup timing should account for the journey through London as well as your airline's airport-arrival guidance. Traffic conditions can vary considerably depending on the time of day and the part of London from which you are travelling.

Planning your LCY journey

What makes a London City Airport transfer different?

LCY is smaller than Heathrow or Gatwick, but its central London location creates a different set of journey-planning considerations.

One passenger terminal

There is no need to choose between several terminals. For an arrival, the important information is your correct flight and passenger contact details.

Close to business London

The airport is particularly well placed for Canary Wharf, Docklands, the City of London, ExCeL London and many East London hotels and offices.

London traffic still matters

A short geographic distance does not always mean a short driving time. Allowance should be made for congestion, roadworks, events and busy periods when selecting a departure pickup time.

Arrivals & departures

Travelling from LCY or heading to the airport

The details that matter most depend on whether London City Airport is the beginning or the end of that part of your journey.

Airport arrival

Pickup from London City Airport

Provide the correct flight number so the airport collection can be planned around the latest available arrival information.

Once you have collected any checked luggage and completed the necessary arrival formalities, proceed into the Arrivals Hall and follow the Meet and Greet instructions supplied for your journey.

Airport departure

Transfer to London City Airport

Choose your pickup time using both the expected road journey and your airline's recommended arrival or check-in time.

For journeys beginning in Central or East London, allow for local congestion and busy commuter periods rather than judging the pickup time only by distance.

Meet & Greet

London City Airport meeting point

LCY has a straightforward single-terminal arrivals arrangement for pre-booked collections.

Meet your driver inside Arrivals

For a standard London City Airport Meet and Greet collection, the normal reference point is inside the Arrivals Hall by WH Smith.

Keep the passenger telephone switched on after landing and check for any call or message from the driver. If different instructions are provided for your individual journey, those instructions should take priority.
