Fixed £25 Fare
No surge, no meter, no extras
Fast and reliable Liverpool Street to London City Airport taxi — a direct door-to-door airport transfer from one of London's busiest mainline terminals. Liverpool Street station handles over 70 million passengers annually, serving Greater Anglia services to Cambridge, Stansted Express connections, and TfL Rail crossrail routes alongside the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan Underground lines. The surrounding Broadgate Circle development, Bishopsgate office towers, Spitalfields Market, Petticoat Lane, and the Shoreditch High Street border create a concentrated hub of business, tourism, and commuter activity — all generating constant demand for professional airport transfers to London City Airport. Our £25 fixed fare covers every pickup from Liverpool Street station concourse, the Broadgate estate, Bishopsgate offices, Old Broad Street, Finsbury Circus, Worship Street, Appold Street, and all surrounding EC2 and EC3 addresses. Ideal for business travellers catching European flights, tourists departing City hotels, and daily commuters connecting through LCY. Professional, licensed London drivers. 24/7 availability with pre-booking options. Secure online payment and instant confirmation.
How much is a taxi from Liverpool Street to London City Airport? A flat fare of £25, all-inclusive — confirmed at booking with no surge pricing or metered delays. Gatwick Taxi Transfer provides a trusted fixed-price airport transfer from Liverpool Street, one of the City of London's most important transport hubs. The station serves as a gateway for Greater Anglia mainline services from Norwich, Cambridge, Colchester, and Southend, the Stansted Express airport connection, and five Underground lines making it one of the best-connected stations in central London. The surrounding Broadgate Circle development houses UBS, JP Morgan, and Deutsche Bank offices. Bishopsgate stretches north past the Heron Tower (Salesforce Tower) and Tower 42 to the Shoreditch border. Spitalfields Market, Petticoat Lane Market, and Brick Lane are a five-minute walk east. This concentration of financial offices, hotels, markets, and residential addresses generates enormous airport transfer demand.
Despite Liverpool Street's excellent rail connectivity, reaching London City Airport by DLR requires walking to Bank station (7–10 minutes via Threadneedle Street), then taking the DLR with a change at Poplar or Canning Town — totalling 25 to 35 minutes door-to-terminal. During peak hours the DLR from Bank is overcrowded with Canary Wharf commuters. Our £25 fixed fare eliminates that entirely — no surge pricing, no metered delays, no hidden charges. Free waiting time is included, instant quote and secure online booking available 24/7. Compare this with black cabs metering from £30 to £50, and ride-hailing apps surging from £12 to £40 during City morning rush, Broadgate office closures, and Friday evening departures. An instant quote and secure online booking are available around the clock.

Liverpool Street to London City Airport covers approximately four to six miles. Pickups from the eastern side of the station — near Bishopsgate and Spitalfields — are closest at around four miles. Pickups from Finsbury Circus, Moorgate border, and western Broadgate add approximately one mile via London Wall and Bishopsgate before joining the eastbound corridor.
The average travel time is 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Early-morning departures before 7 AM and weekend transfers frequently complete in 12 to 15 minutes. During City rush hours (7–9 AM and 5–7 PM), Bishopsgate and the Aldgate corridor can add five to ten minutes — but our drivers use real-time traffic monitoring to select the fastest available route through Whitechapel, avoiding the worst congestion around Aldgate East and Commercial Road. Ideal for tight flight schedules — drivers depart with time buffers built in for on-time airport arrivals.
The primary route heads south from Liverpool Street through Bishopsgate to Aldgate, then east along the A1203 (The Highway) through Wapping. At Limehouse, the route enters the Limehouse Link tunnel — a grade-separated underground dual carriageway bypassing all surface Docklands traffic. Emerging onto Aspen Way, the elevated carriageway connects to the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing for direct access to Royal Docks Road and LCY's Hartmann Road terminal. An alternative route via Commercial Road (A13) through Whitechapel joins the same Limehouse Link entrance, useful when Bishopsgate is congested with bus traffic. Both routes converge for a consistent final approach to London City Airport.

Liverpool Street has no direct DLR connection to London City Airport. The DLR departs from Bank station — a 7 to 10 minute walk south via Threadneedle Street. From Bank, the DLR requires a change at Poplar or Canning Town (depending on service pattern), with multiple stops through Tower Gateway, Shadwell, Limehouse, and Canary Wharf. Total journey: 25–35 minutes door-to-terminal. Peak-hour crowding on DLR platforms makes travelling with luggage stressful and uncomfortable. Walking with bags through the Bank station interchange — one of London's deepest and most complex — adds further inconvenience.

Early morning and late-night pickups. Same-day and advance bookings. Perfect for business flights and weekend travel. Liverpool Street's mainline services start around 5 AM with the first Greater Anglia departures, but LCY's first flights depart from 6:30 AM — meaning business travellers often need airport transfers before public transport reaches full capacity. Our 24/7 service covers every gap: pre-dawn pickups from Broadgate hotels, midday corporate transfers for European meetings, late-evening returns from delayed flights, and weekend leisure travel. Same £25 fixed fare at any hour — no overnight premiums, no City rush-hour surcharges, no weekend extras.
Uber and Bolt surge during Broadgate morning rush, Bishopsgate office closures, Spitalfields Market weekends, and Friday evening City demand. Our £25 fare stays constant regardless of time, demand, or City events.
