Airport Transfers
It is about 13.0 miles from Orpington to London City Airport, and we price it as one fixed fare from £40. Reckon on 30 min when the roads are clear and up to 50 min at busy times. Drivers come in via A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road, reaching London City Airport from the due south. What we quote is what you pay, whatever the traffic does on the day.
A pre-booked taxi from Orpington to London City Airport costs from £40 for up to 4 passengers and takes about 30 min off-peak, covering roughly 13.0 miles. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, waiting time and luggage.

From Orpington (BR5, BR6) the natural line out is the A21 and the A224, joining A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 13.0 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 30 min off-peak becomes 50 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
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.
We pick up anywhere in Orpington and the surrounding South East London postcodes - BR5, BR6. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
Pickups run across Orpington and the BR5, BR6 streets around it, at whatever hour you need; there is no minimum and no surge.
For a short-haul departure, allow 2 hours at the airport plus 50 min on the road; for long-haul make that 3 hours. We watch your flight, so an early or late landing does not change the price.
For the return, book the flight number rather than a time - we watch the landing and adjust, and the price stays at £40.
A saloon is from £40, an estate from £50, a 6-seat MPV from £60 and an 8-seat minibus from £80. The price is fixed when you book and covers the charges listed above.
It is about 30 min off-peak over roughly 13.0 miles. Allow up to 50 min in peak traffic or around a busy flight.
