The route

From Sidcup (DA14, DA15) the natural line out is the A20 and the A222, joining A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road for the last part of the journey. That is about 8.7 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 25 min off-peak becomes 40 min 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.
