Taxi From Fenchurch Street to London City Airport (LCY) – Fixed Fare £40
Reliable Fenchurch Street to London City Airport taxi transfer — a direct private transfer from one of the City of London's key railway terminals. Fenchurch Street station is the smallest and oldest of London's mainline termini, serving c2c commuter services from Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Grays, and Tilbury along the Essex Thames Gateway corridor. Despite its compact size, the station sits at the heart of the EC3 insurance and shipping district — surrounded by Lloyd's of London, the Willis Building, Plantation Place, Fen Court, and the Walkie Talkie tower at 20 Fenchurch Street. The surrounding streets of Fenchurch Street, Fenchurch Avenue, Mincing Lane, Mark Lane, and Lime Street house global insurance brokers, shipping firms, and commodity traders who generate concentrated airport transfer demand throughout the business day. Our £40 fixed fare covers door-to-terminal service with professional drivers, real-time flight monitoring, and 24/7 availability. Ideal for business travellers, tourists staying near Tower Hill and Aldgate, and airport staff connecting through LCY. Pre-book online or via WhatsApp for instant confirmation.

Fixed Price Airport Taxi – No Hidden Charges
How much is a taxi from Fenchurch Street to London City Airport? A flat fare of £40 all inclusive — confirmed at booking with no surge pricing during peak hours. Gatwick Taxi Transfer provides a professional airport transfer from the heart of London's insurance and shipping quarter. Fenchurch Street station — the City's smallest mainline terminus — serves c2c commuter routes along the Essex Thames Gateway, bringing tens of thousands of daily commuters into the EC3 district. The station sits directly beneath 20 Fenchurch Street (the Walkie Talkie), surrounded by Lloyd's of London, the Leadenhall Building (the Cheesegrater), Plantation Place, One Fen Court, and the Willis Building. These landmark towers and the surrounding streets of Mincing Lane, Mark Lane, Lime Street, Philpot Lane, and Eastcheap house global insurance underwriters, reinsurers, shipping brokers, and commodity trading firms — all generating concentrated demand for airport transfers to LCY's European route network.
Despite the proximity to Tower Hill station (District and Circle lines) and Tower Gateway DLR, reaching London City Airport by public transport from Fenchurch Street requires walking to Tower Gateway (5–7 minutes), then taking the DLR with a change at Poplar or Canning Town — totalling 25 to 35 minutes door-to-terminal. During the 7–9 AM insurance district rush, DLR platforms at Tower Gateway are overcrowded with Canary Wharf commuters. Our £40 fixed fare offers better value than black cabs metering from £45 to £65 through City traffic, and far more predictable pricing than Uber and Bolt — which surge from £15 during quiet periods to £50 or more during morning City rush, Lloyd's of London closing-bell dispersals, and Friday evening departures. Free flight monitoring and complimentary waiting time are included as standard. Secure online payment with instant confirmation.

Fenchurch Street to London City Airport – Route Details
Distance: Approx. 6–7 Miles
The Fenchurch Street to LCY route covers approximately six to seven miles. Fenchurch Street station sits at the eastern edge of the City's insurance district — closer to LCY than many other City terminals. Pickups from surrounding streets such as Mincing Lane, Mark Lane, and Lime Street produce consistent distances around six miles, while addresses closer to Tower Hill or Aldgate border add marginally to the total.
Average Travel Time: 20–30 Minutes
The average travel time is 20 to 30 minutes, traffic dependent. Early-morning transfers before 7 AM and late-evening pickups after 8 PM frequently complete in under 20 minutes. During the 7–9 AM insurance district rush and 5–7 PM trading close, the A1203 through Wapping can experience moderate congestion — but the Limehouse Link tunnel provides a grade-separated bypass that keeps airport-bound traffic moving independently of Docklands surface delays. Real-time traffic monitoring ensures on-time arrival at LCY for every pickup.
Fastest Route via A1203 and Lower Lea Crossing
The primary route heads east from Fenchurch Street through Tower Hill, joining The Highway (A1203) — a fast dual carriageway running east through Wapping. At Limehouse, the route enters the Limehouse Link tunnel, emerging onto Aspen Way. The elevated Aspen Way connects to the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing for direct LCY terminal access via Royal Docks Road and Hartmann Road. An alternative route via Aldgate and Commercial Road (A13) through Whitechapel joins the same Limehouse Link entrance — useful when Tower Hill is congested with tourist coach traffic near the Tower of London.
