The route

From Brent Cross (NW2, NW4, NW11) the natural line out is the A406 and the M1 J1, joining A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 17.9 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 40 min off-peak becomes 1h 10m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at London City Airport

The forecourt pickup on Hartmann Road, a few steps from arrivals. City is small enough that arrivals to kerb takes minutes, so a booked car is usually waiting before you are through.

Address: Hartmann Road, Royal Docks, E16 2PX.
