Airport Transfers
It is about 30.5 miles from Tonbridge to London City Airport, and we price it as one fixed fare from £60. Reckon on 55 min when the roads are clear and up to 1h 20m at busy times. Drivers come in via A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road, reaching London City Airport from the south-east. The price is agreed when you book, so it does not move with the meter, the traffic or the time of night.
A pre-booked taxi from Tonbridge to London City Airport costs from £60 for up to 4 passengers and takes about 55 min off-peak, covering roughly 30.5 miles. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, waiting time and luggage.

From Tonbridge (TN9, TN10, TN11) the natural line out is the A21 and the A26, joining A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 30.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 55 min off-peak becomes 1h 20m 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.
Any address in Tonbridge works, along with the wider TN9, TN10, TN11 area of Kent. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
Tonbridge sits on the A21, A26 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.
