Fixed Fare Wapping to London City Airport Taxi – Only £30
How much is a taxi from Wapping to LCY? A guaranteed £30 fixed fare — confirmed at booking, with no hidden charges, no surge pricing, and no meter uncertainty. Gatwick Taxi Transfer provides professional airport transfers from Wapping — one of East London's most desirable riverside neighbourhoods, tucked between the Tower of London and Limehouse along the north bank of the Thames. Wapping's character is defined by its maritime heritage: the converted spice warehouses along Wapping High Street, the premium marina and hotel district of St Katharine Docks, the Grade II-listed Tobacco Dock events venue, the historic Prospect of Whitby and Town of Ramsgate pubs, Shadwell Basin outdoor activity centre, and the growing number of luxury riverside apartments and serviced flats that attract professionals working in the City of London, Canary Wharf, and the wider Docklands financial corridor.
Our transparent pricing policy means the £30 you see is the £30 you pay — a competitive alternative to Uber and other ride-hailing apps that routinely surge during Tower Bridge events, St Katharine Docks weekend markets, and Friday evening Wapping demand. Whether you are a riverside apartment resident catching a morning British Airways flight to Edinburgh, a business traveller heading from St Katharine Docks to a Lufthansa connection to Frankfurt, a family departing from your Tobacco Dock-area flat for a holiday via KLM to Amsterdam, or a hotel guest at the St Katharine Docks DoubleTree connecting to a Swiss International Air Lines flight to Zurich — the fare is locked at booking and cannot change regardless of traffic on The Highway, Limehouse Link tunnel congestion, or Canary Wharf rush hour. Ideal for both business and leisure travellers who need pricing certainty for their East London airport transfer.

mapDistance, Travel Time & Best Route
Distance, Travel Time & Best Route from Wapping to LCY
Journey Distance
The Wapping to London City Airport route covers approximately five to seven miles depending on your exact pickup location. Addresses at the western end of Wapping near St Katharine Docks and the Tower of London sit at the longer end, while pickups from Wapping Wall, Shadwell Basin, and the eastern Wapping border near Limehouse are closer to the airport corridor. The route passes through the heart of the Docklands regeneration zone — one of East London's best-connected road networks.
Average Travel Time
The journey typically takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. Early-morning departures and late-evening returns frequently complete in under 15 minutes, while peak-hour transfers during the Canary Wharf commuter rush may extend to 25 minutes. The Limehouse Link tunnel — a grade-separated underground dual carriageway — keeps airport-bound traffic moving independently of surface-level congestion along Commercial Road and the Isle of Dogs, making this one of the most consistent Docklands transfer corridors.
Fastest Route to LCY
The primary route heads east along The Highway (A1203) from Wapping, entering Limehouse Link tunnel at the Butcher Row junction. The tunnel emerges at the Westferry Road roundabout before connecting to Aspen Way — the elevated dual carriageway that runs above the Poplar and Blackwall DLR corridor. From Aspen Way, the route merges onto the A1020 Lower Lea Crossing and then Royal Docks Road for direct access to LCY's Hartmann Road terminal approach. An alternative surface route via Cable Street, Commercial Road, and East India Dock Road is available during rare tunnel closures. Real-time traffic monitoring ensures drivers select the fastest corridor on every journey.

compare_arrowsTaxi vs Public Transport
Is a Taxi from Wapping to LCY Faster Than Public Transport?
What is the fastest way from Wapping to LCY? Wapping's public transport options for reaching London City Airport are surprisingly limited. Wapping Overground station connects to the East London line but does not serve the DLR, meaning passengers must travel to Shadwell for the DLR interchange, change platforms, ride to Canning Town or via Poplar, and then continue to London City Airport station — a journey involving two changes and 30 to 45 minutes door-to-door. Alternatively, travellers can walk to the nearby Shadwell DLR station, but this still requires a platform change at Poplar or Canning Town. The Overground heads north towards Shoreditch and Highbury, not east towards the airport. A private taxi covers the same journey in 15 to 25 minutes door-to-terminal via the Limehouse Link tunnel and Aspen Way — no DLR platform changes, no waiting for connecting services, and no wrestling suitcases through narrow DLR carriages during peak hours.
Overground & DLR — Multiple Changes
Wapping Overground does not connect to the DLR directly. Passengers must change at Shadwell for the DLR, then change again at Poplar or Canning Town for the London City Airport branch. Total journey: 30 to 45 minutes with two platform changes, narrow carriages, and no dedicated luggage space. The Overground heads to Shoreditch — not towards LCY.
Ride-Hail — Surge During Events
Uber and Bolt prices from Wapping surge significantly during Tower Bridge events, St Katharine Docks weekend markets, Tobacco Dock conferences, and Friday evening demand — routinely reaching £45 to £55 for a journey that should cost £25 to £30. No price guarantee at booking, and driver availability near Wapping's narrow riverside streets can be unpredictable.

flight_landMeet & Greet & Return Transfers
Meet & Greet Service at London City Airport (LCY)
Driver Waits Inside Arrivals
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 the baggage reclaim area. No searching through a crowded taxi rank at midnight, no standing in the rain outside the terminal, and no calling a ride-hailing driver who is circling the airport perimeter roads. The name board service ensures instant recognition — particularly valuable for first-time visitors to Wapping and international travellers unfamiliar with East London.
Flight Tracking & Free Waiting Time
Every return pickup includes complimentary flight tracking 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 fog over the Royal Docks, your driver's schedule adjusts automatically in real time. We include 60 minutes of free waiting as standard on every LCY collection — ample time to clear passport control, collect luggage, and walk through to the arrivals area without any pressure or additional charges.
Return Taxi from LCY to Wapping
Do you offer return taxi transfers from London City Airport to Wapping? Yes — the return journey operates at the same fixed fares with identical professional standards. Whether you are landing from a Lufthansa connection via Frankfurt after a business conference, arriving on a KLM flight through Amsterdam Schiphol after a weekend break, returning from an Aer Lingus Dublin service after visiting family, or touching down from a British Airways Glasgow flight, your driver will be positioned and ready inside the terminal. The transfer back to your Wapping High Street riverside apartment, your St Katharine Docks hotel, or your Tobacco Dock-area residence takes the same 15 to 25 minutes — with no Overground-to-DLR interchange, no Shadwell platform change, and no navigating luggage through Canada Water station at midnight.
Effortless Arrivals into Wapping
After a tiring day of travel — consecutive meetings in Munich, a delayed return from Jersey, or an overnight family flight — the last thing you want is to navigate the DLR platform at London City Airport, change at Shadwell for the Overground, and then walk from Wapping station through the cobbled streets to your front door with heavy suitcases. Our return transfer removes every friction point — a clean vehicle at the terminal, professional luggage assistance, and a direct 15-to-25-minute ride back through the Limehouse Link tunnel to your exact Wapping address. Perfect for exhausted business travellers, families arriving with children, hotel guests heading to St Katharine Docks, and first-time visitors finding their Airbnb on Wapping Wall.

verified_userSafety, Licensing & Professional Drivers
Licensed, Insured & Experienced Wapping Airport Taxi Drivers
Are your Wapping to London City Airport taxis fully licensed and insured? Every vehicle in our fleet operates under a valid Private Hire Operator Licence issued in full compliance with Transport for London regulations. All drivers hold individual TfL-issued private hire driver licences, carry enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificates, and are covered by comprehensive commercial motor insurance. These are experienced East London transfer professionals who navigate the Wapping, Limehouse, and Docklands roads daily — familiar with the narrow cobbled streets along Wapping High Street where two vehicles cannot pass simultaneously, the restricted-access pier roads at Wapping Pier Head, the gated estate entrances along Wapping Wall, the tidal flooding risk at Wapping Old Stairs during high Thames levels, and the one-way system around St Katharine Docks that satellite navigation routinely handles incorrectly.
TfL-Compliant Private Hire Licence
Every journey is backed by a full Private Hire Operator Licence meeting Transport for London's regulatory framework. Drivers carry visible identification at all times, vehicles display valid licence plates, and comprehensive insurance documentation is available on request. This professional accountability matters for Wapping — a neighbourhood where international hotel guests at St Katharine Docks, City of London professionals in riverside apartments, and visiting tourists near the Tower of London all expect a premium, trustworthy transfer experience.
Expert Wapping & Docklands Navigation
Wapping presents specific navigation challenges that generic satellite navigation cannot anticipate. The cobbled single-track sections of Wapping High Street, the restricted-access pier approach roads, the gated entrances to riverside estate blocks along Wapping Wall, the St Katharine Docks one-way system with its height-restricted entry points, and the pedestrian-heavy zones around Tobacco Dock during conference and exhibition events — our drivers monitor these conditions in real time and use years of local experience to route through The Highway, Limehouse Link, and alternative corridors via Cable Street to deliver consistent 15-to-25-minute transfers to LCY.
Clean & Well-Maintained Fleet
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 to executive Mercedes E-Class vehicles and spacious Ford Galaxy MPVs, every car in the fleet meets the professional standards that Wapping's City professionals, hotel guests, and international visitors expect from an insured LCY taxi service.
DBS-Checked & Fully Insured
Every driver holds an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate — the highest level of criminal background check available in England. Combined with comprehensive commercial motor insurance covering all passengers, this provides a safety assurance that unregulated minicab operators and casually allocated ride-hailing drivers cannot match. Ideal for solo female travellers, families with children, elderly passengers, and corporate clients requiring compliance documentation.
