London City to Kensington: what to expect
Most of what goes wrong on an airport transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet, and the price. From London City to Kensington we take both off the table. Your driver is inside arrivals with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 40–60 min run to Kensington is at a figure agreed when you book, not one that drifts with the traffic.
Reckon on 40–60 min for the drive. The Kensington approaches firm up through the morning and evening peaks; your chauffeur knows the pinch points and, with the flight tracked, sets off to meet your real landing rather than the timetable. Sixty minutes of waiting is built in, so a slow carousel at London City never costs you the car.

Typically 40–60 min, depending on the traffic and your exact address in Kensington. Your driver plans around live conditions.
Could the fare change with traffic?
Yes — agreed in advance, with no meter and no surge whatever the traffic does.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes — infant, child and booster seats are free. Add them when you book with the child’s age and the correct seat is fitted before pickup.
