Fixed Fare & Transparent Pricing – Bank to London City Airport, £35
How much is a taxi from Bank to LCY? A guaranteed £35 fixed price — confirmed at booking with no hidden charges. Gatwick Taxi Transfer provides a professional airport transfer service from the very heart of the City of London. Bank sits at the financial core of the Square Mile — where the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, and Mansion House converge at one of London's most iconic junctions. The surrounding streets of Threadneedle Street, Cornhill, Lombard Street, Cheapside, Poultry, King William Street, and Cannon Street house the headquarters and European offices of global banks, insurance firms, law practices, and financial institutions. These EC2, EC3, and EC4 addresses generate enormous airport transfer demand, particularly during morning rush when City professionals need to reach London City Airport for early Lufthansa flights to Frankfurt, British Airways connections to Edinburgh, KLM services to Amsterdam Schiphol, and Swiss International Air Lines departures to Zurich.
Despite the exceptional density of Underground connections at Bank station — Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, and DLR lines all converge here — the DLR service to London City Airport requires a change at either Poplar or Canning Town depending on platform routing, and the journey takes 20 to 30 minutes with standing-room-only conditions during the 7–9 AM business peak. Our £35 fixed fare provides better value than black cabs (metering from £40 to £60 through City traffic) and far more predictable pricing than ride-hailing apps — Uber and Bolt fares from Bank surge from £15 during quiet periods to £45 or more during morning City rush, evening trading desk closures, and Friday night departures when every financial professional in the Square Mile seems to be heading to the airport simultaneously. Free waiting time is included, luggage assistance is standard, and secure online payment with instant confirmation means you can pre-book your airport transfer without interrupting your working day.
Why Choose Our Bank to LCY Taxi?
Fixed pricing with no surge charges. Clean, modern fleet. On-time pickup guarantee. Trusted by City professionals and frequent flyers for fast, reliable, and comfortable airport transfers from the financial district.

mapQuick Journey Overview
Bank to London City Airport – Distance, Travel Time & Route
Distance from Bank to London City Airport
The Bank to London City Airport route covers approximately five to seven miles depending on the precise pickup point within the City. Addresses on the eastern side of the Square Mile — near Aldgate, Fenchurch Street, and Tower Hill — sit closest and produce the shortest journeys at around five miles. Pickups from the western City — near Mansion House, Cannon Street, and St Paul's — add approximately one mile via Cheapside and Poultry before joining the eastbound corridor through Aldgate.
Typical Travel Time (Traffic-Aware)
The journey takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Early-morning departures before 7 AM and late-evening transfers after 8 PM frequently complete in under 15 minutes. During the 7–9 AM City rush and 5–7 PM evening close, the journey through Aldgate and along Commercial Road can add five to ten minutes — but the Limehouse Link tunnel provides a grade-separated underground bypass that keeps airport-bound traffic moving independently of Docklands surface congestion. Our drivers use real-time traffic awareness and alternative routing via Tower Hill and The Highway (A1203) when the Aldgate gyratory is congested.
Fastest Route for On-Time Airport Arrival
The primary route heads east from Bank through Cornhill and Leadenhall Street to Aldgate, then south-east along Commercial Road (A13) through Whitechapel. At Limehouse, the route enters the Limehouse Link tunnel — an underground dual carriageway that bypasses all surface traffic — emerging onto Aspen Way. The elevated Aspen Way connects to the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing for direct LCY terminal access via Hartmann Road. An alternative route via Fenchurch Street and Tower Hill joins The Highway (A1203) through Wapping, connecting to the same Limehouse Link entrance. Both routes converge on Aspen Way for a consistent final approach.

Bank to LCY: Direct Door-to-Terminal vs DLR & Underground
Bank station is one of London's best-connected interchanges — Central, Northern, Waterloo & City lines, and the DLR all converge here. But reaching London City Airport by DLR from Bank requires navigating one of the network's most complex interchanges, with a change at either Poplar or Canning Town depending on service patterns. During the 7–9 AM business peak, DLR platforms at Bank are overcrowded with Canary Wharf commuters, creating delays and standing-room-only conditions. Door-to-door by DLR takes 20–30 minutes — plus five to ten minutes walking from your City office to Bank station. A direct door-to-terminal taxi transfer covers the same distance in 15–25 minutes with no train changes, no DLR delays, and far more comfort with luggage. Faster during off-peak and early hours, and more reliable when it matters most.

DLR from Bank — Crowded & Indirect
DLR from Bank to LCY with change at Poplar or Canning Town. Total: 20–30 min plus walking time from your office. Standing-room only during City rush. ~£4 fare but no door-to-door service and limited luggage space. Bank DLR platforms congested with Canary Wharf commuters 7–9 AM.

Ride-Hailing — City Surge Pricing
Uber and Bolt from Bank range from £15 during quiet midday periods to £45 or more during 7–9 AM City rush, 5–7 PM trading desk closures, Lord Mayor's Show disruptions, and Friday evening demand. No fare guarantee, potential cancellations during peak City hours.

24/7 Bank to London City Airport Taxi Service
Available day and night — perfect for early departures and late arrivals. The City of London generates airport demand at concentrated but predictable peaks: the 6–8 AM early-morning surge when traders and bankers need pre-market flights, the midday corporate lunch-hour transfers, the 5–7 PM evening rush when trading desks close, and the late-night international arrivals when delayed European flights finally touch down at LCY. Pre-booking recommended for peak business hours. Same fixed £35 fare whether you depart at 5 AM for a first British Airways flight to Edinburgh or return at midnight from a delayed Lufthansa connection via Frankfurt.
