Fixed £62 Fare
No surge, no meter, no extras
Looking for a stress-free, fast, and reliable London Bridge to London City Airport taxi? Our fixed price £62 door-to-door transfer covers every pickup across the London Bridge district — from the concourse of London Bridge station itself and the offices beneath The Shard to the Victorian warehouses of Shad Thames, the food stalls of Borough Market, the riverside walkway at More London, and the hotels lining Tooley Street and St Thomas Street. The fare is locked at booking with no hidden charges, no surge pricing during rush hour, and no extra fees for flight delays or waiting time. This is a professional airport transfer operated by licensed drivers holding Transport for London Private Hire Operator Licences, with real-time flight monitoring, meet and greet service at LCY, and luggage assistance included as standard. The journey follows Tower Bridge Road, The Highway (A1203), and the A1261 Limehouse Link corridor — completing in approximately 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. Available 24/7 for early-morning British Airways departures, late-evening Lufthansa returns, business travellers, families, tourists, and groups.
How much does a taxi from London Bridge to London City Airport cost? A guaranteed £62 fixed fare — confirmed at booking, with no hidden charges, no surge pricing, and no extra charges for flight delays or waiting time. Gatwick Taxi Transfer provides a trusted London airport taxi service from one of the capital's busiest transport hubs and commercial districts. London Bridge sits at the intersection of the City of London and Southwark — a district where thousands of commuters, business travellers, hotel guests, and tourists converge daily around the station concourse, The Shard's offices and observation deck, the cobbled lanes of Borough Market, the riverside walkway at More London, and the converted warehouse apartments of Shad Thames and Bermondsey. London Bridge station itself is served by Southern, Thameslink, Jubilee line, and Northern line services — but none provide a direct connection to London City Airport. The Jubilee line from London Bridge to Canning Town followed by a DLR change takes 25 to 35 minutes with a platform interchange — roughly the same door-to-door time as a taxi but without the luggage convenience, the door-to-door comfort, or the fixed price certainty.
At £62, this fixed fare is faster, more reliable, and more cost-effective than black cabs (which meter from £45 to £75 depending on traffic, time of day, and Tower Bridge delays), more predictable than ride-hailing apps (Uber and Bolt surge from £25 during quiet midday periods to £55–65 during London Bridge evening rush hour, Borough Market Saturday mornings, Shard quarter corporate events, and Friday night demand), and far more convenient than juggling the Jubilee line and DLR with airport luggage during Canary Wharf commuter peaks. Whether you are a Shard quarter executive catching a morning Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt, a Borough Market visitor heading to a Swiss International Air Lines connection to Zurich, a family departing from your Tooley Street hotel for a British Airways holiday to Edinburgh, or a Shad Thames resident catching a KLM flight to Amsterdam — the price is locked at booking with transparent pricing, secure online payment, and instant booking confirmation.

The London Bridge to London City Airport route covers approximately 7 to 9 miles. Pickups from the station concourse, Tooley Street, and The Shard quarter sit at the shorter end. Addresses further south along Borough High Street, towards Elephant and Castle, or west towards Waterloo add one to two miles via the borough's internal road network before connecting to the eastbound corridor via Tower Bridge.
The journey typically takes 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. Early-morning and late-evening transfers frequently complete in under 25 minutes. During peak commuter hours, Tower Bridge Road and the Tooley Street corridor can experience heavy congestion as London Bridge station disperses its 50,000+ daily passengers, but once across Tower Bridge the route connects to The Highway (A1203) and the A1261 Limehouse Link tunnel — a grade-separated underground dual carriageway that bypasses all Wapping, Limehouse, and surface Docklands traffic for fast, uninterrupted access to LCY via Aspen Way and the A1020.
The primary route heads north from London Bridge station along Tooley Street or Duke Street Hill, crossing Tower Bridge and turning east onto The Highway (A1203) through the St Katharine Docks and Wapping corridor. At Limehouse, the route enters the A1261 Limehouse Link tunnel, emerging onto Aspen Way — the elevated dual carriageway that connects directly to the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing and Royal Docks Road for LCY's Hartmann Road terminal approach. During Tower Bridge openings (scheduled lifts for tall vessels), drivers divert via London Bridge road bridge or through the Bermondsey back-streets to Jamaica Road and the Rotherhithe Tunnel as an efficient alternative.

London Bridge station offers Southern, Thameslink, Jubilee, and Northern line services — but none connect directly to London City Airport.

Coach and airport shuttles involve multiple stops and longer journey times.

Our airport transfer operates around the clock — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. London Bridge is one of the busiest transport hubs in Europe, with over 50,000 passengers passing through the station daily, thousands of hotel guests in surrounding accommodation, and a constant flow of Borough Market visitors, Shard observation deck tourists, and Shad Thames residents generating airport demand at every hour. From 4 AM pickups for early morning British Airways flights to Edinburgh, through midday executive business transfers for Lufthansa connections to Munich, to midnight returns from delayed Swiss International Air Lines arrivals — the same £62 fixed fare applies with no overnight premiums, no Borough Market Saturday surcharges, and no London Bridge rush hour multipliers.
Ride-hailing apps surge during London Bridge evening rush (5–7 PM weekdays), Borough Market Saturday mornings (8 AM–1 PM), Shard quarter corporate events, South Bank theatre dispersal, and Friday night SE1 demand. Our £62 fare remains constant regardless of demand, time, or local events.
Serving the entire London Bridge district — convenient pick-up and drop-off from hotels, offices, residential areas, and key London Bridge landmarks. Popular for business travelers, tourists, families, and first-time visitors or layovers needing airport pickups from key locations.

Do you offer meet and greet service at London City Airport? Yes — your driver waits inside the LCY arrivals hall with a personalised name board. London City Airport's compact single-terminal layout means you will see your driver within moments of clearing baggage reclaim. No searching through a crowded taxi rank outside the terminal, no standing in the rain on Hartmann Road, and no calling a ride-hailing driver circling the Royal Albert Way perimeter. The meet and greet service is included at no additional cost on every return pickup — a stress-free arrival experience whether you are heading back to your Borough Market flat, your Bankside hotel, or your Waterloo-area apartment after an exhausting business trip.
Every return pickup includes complimentary flight monitoring powered by live aviation data. Whether your Swiss International Air Lines flight from Zurich lands twenty minutes early or your evening British Airways connection from Edinburgh is delayed by crosswinds over the Royal Docks, your driver's schedule adjusts automatically in real time. We include 60 minutes of free waiting time as standard on every LCY collection — ample time to clear passport control, collect luggage from the carousel, and walk through to the arrivals area without any pressure or additional charges. Flight tracking included on every booking at no extra cost.
Do you offer return transfers from London City Airport to Southwark? Yes — at the same fixed fares with identical professional standards. Whether landing from a Lufthansa connection via Frankfurt after a corporate conference, arriving on a KLM flight through Amsterdam Schiphol after a family visit, returning from an Aer Lingus Dublin weekend, or touching down from a British Airways Glasgow flight, your driver is positioned inside the terminal and ready. The transfer back to your Shard quarter office, your Hilton London Tower Bridge hotel, your Mondrian London room on the South Bank, your Bermondsey Street apartment, or your Elephant and Castle home takes just 15 to 25 minutes — no Jubilee line interchange at Canning Town, no DLR platform change, and no navigating London Bridge station concourse with heavy suitcases at midnight.
Every Southwark airport transfer booking includes: professional licensed drivers with London experience, door-to-door transfer from any SE1 address, flight monitoring and updates for delays or early arrivals, meet and greet service at LCY terminal, free waiting time, luggage handling and spacious vehicle comfort, 24/7 availability for early morning or late-night flights, WhatsApp booking option, secure online payments and instant booking confirmation, child seats available on request, and wheelchair-accessible taxis available. WiFi in selected executive vehicles. Everything designed for convenient pick-up and drop-off and a fast, stress-free, and safe journey every time.
Are your Southwark to London City Airport taxis fully licensed and insured? Every vehicle operates under a valid Private Hire Operator Licence in full compliance with Transport for London regulations. All drivers hold TfL-issued private hire licences, carry enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificates, and are covered by comprehensive commercial motor insurance. These are experienced central London professionals who navigate Southwark's complex road network daily — familiar with Tower Bridge opening schedules that halt all road traffic for up to ten minutes, the Borough Market delivery vehicle restrictions along Stoney Street and Park Street, the South Bank theatre dispersal traffic after National Theatre and Old Vic curtain calls, the Tooley Street bottleneck between London Bridge station and Tower Bridge, and the Elephant and Castle regeneration roadworks that regularly alter lane configurations on Newington Causeway and Walworth Road. Safe and secure transportation backed by professional accountability.
Every driver holds an enhanced DBS certificate — the highest level of criminal background check available in England. Drivers carry visible identification at all times, vehicles display valid TfL licence plates, and comprehensive insurance documentation is available on request. This professional accountability provides the safety assurance that Southwark's international hotel guests at the Hilton London Tower Bridge and Mondrian London, Shard quarter corporate travellers, South Bank tourists visiting the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe, and Waterloo commuters all expect from a trusted London airport taxi service.
Southwark SE1 presents specific navigation challenges that generic satellite navigation cannot anticipate. Tower Bridge lifts to allow tall ships through approximately 800 times per year — our drivers monitor the published lifting schedule and use real-time traffic awareness to route via Jamaica Road and the Rotherhithe Tunnel when bridge lifts coincide with pickup times. Borough Market's Saturday morning pedestrian zones, the one-way system around Guy's Hospital, the South Bank event dispersal patterns, and the Elephant and Castle gyratory changes are all factored into every journey for on-time arrival at LCY.
Every vehicle is under five years old, fully air-conditioned, and maintained on a scheduled inspection programme. Interiors are cleaned after each journey with fresh upholstery and sanitised surfaces. From standard Toyota Prius saloons for quick solo transfers to executive Mercedes E-Class vehicles for Shard quarter business travellers, spacious Ford Galaxy people carriers for families departing from Waterloo-area hotels, and luggage-friendly estate cars — our modern fleet meets the professional standards that Southwark's diverse mix of corporate clients, international tourists, and local residents expect.
We focus on reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction. Our on-time arrival guarantee means your driver arrives at your SE1 address with time to spare — whether that is The Shard lobby, a Bankside Airbnb, a Shad Thames warehouse conversion, or a student flat near Elephant and Castle. Backed by excellent customer reviews from Southwark hotels, offices, and residential addresses, and supported by 24/7 customer support via phone, WhatsApp, and email.
