Before you travel
Good to know about London City to ExCeL London.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
Timing & flight tracking
Your driver watches live traffic and, because we track the flight, leaves to match your actual landing rather than the schedule.
For the return leg
Heading back to London City later? Book the return and we time the pickup at ExCeL London to your check-in cut-off, at the same fixed fare.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
The run itself
The ExCeL London road runs about 10–20 min from London City. It firms up through the morning and evening peaks, so for a tight schedule an off-peak slot is worth aiming for.
Driving London City to ExCeL London
This is a journey where the outcome is decided before you land — whether the driver watched the flight, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is actually standing in arrivals at London City when you walk through. On the ExCeL London run we settle all three in advance: the flight is tracked from departure, the fare from £40 is fixed, and a named chauffeur is waiting with a board.
The drive takes roughly 10–20 min. Your driver reads the live traffic on the ExCeL London approaches and routes around the worst of it. Every toll, and the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where they apply, sits inside the fare — there is nothing to settle at the kerb.
