Heathrow to London City Airport route
A Heathrow to London City taxi takes the M4 east into Central London, threads through the Congestion Charge zone, then runs east via the A13 / Limehouse Link / A1020 to London City Airport in the Royal Docks. Both the £15 Congestion Charge and £12.50 ULEZ daily charge are included in the fixed £85 quote.
Heathrow pickup — all four terminals
We collect from T2, T3, T4 and T5. Every taxi collects from the Terminal Parking car park attached to your terminal — a 2–5 minute walk from arrivals. The Heathrow Terminal Parking fee is in your fixed quote.
London City Airport drop-off (E16)
London City sits at Hartmann Road, Royal Docks E16 2PX. We drop directly at the terminal forecourt — the airport is compact and ground-level, no shuttle from car park required.

Why pre-book your Heathrow to City Airport taxi with us
The Heathrow to LCY connection by public transport is grim: Heathrow Express to Paddington, Bakerloo Line to Westminster, Jubilee Line to Canning Town, then DLR to London City. Three changes, 1 hour 30 minutes door-to-door if everything runs. With luggage and a 30-minute LCY check-in deadline, a pre-booked fixed-price taxi is the practical choice.
