compare_arrowsTravel Comparison
Taxi vs Public Transport – Why a Taxi from Stratford to LCY Is Faster
Is a taxi from Stratford to London City Airport faster than public transport? The DLR from Stratford to London City Airport takes around 20–25 minutes — but that doesn't include the walk to the platform, waiting times, or potential service disruptions. During peak hours, the DLR can be crowded with limited luggage space. A private taxi from Stratford to LCY offers door-to-door convenience in 15–25 minutes — with no platform changes or waiting times, and is better for tight schedules and heavy luggage.
DLR – Platform Waits & Crowded Carriages
DLR from Stratford to London City Airport takes ~20–25 minutes plus walking time to the platform and waiting for the next service. During morning and evening rush hours, carriages are packed with commuters and luggage space is extremely limited. You'll also need to navigate the busy Stratford station concourse — adding time and stress with suitcases.
Bus – Slow, Indirect & Unreliable
Bus connections from Stratford to the Royal Docks area are slow and indirect — requiring at least one change and taking 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Buses run on fixed schedules with limited early-morning and late-night services. Not practical for time-sensitive airport departures or travellers with heavy luggage.
