Travel notes
Good to know about London City to The City.
For the return leg
Heading back to London City later? Book the return and we time the pickup at The City to your check-in cut-off, at the same fixed fare.
The run itself
Expect 15–30 min to The City. The pinch points are the usual London approaches at rush hour — your driver knows which to avoid and when.
Where your driver meets you
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall at London City with a name board and helps with the luggage before the direct run to The City.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
The London City–The City transfer, planned around your flight
Most of what goes wrong on an airport transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet, and the price. From London City to The City we take both off the table. Your driver is inside arrivals with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 15–30 min run to The City is at a figure agreed when you book, not one that drifts with the traffic.
Reckon on 15–30 min for the drive. The The City 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.

In the arrivals hall with a name board, just past baggage reclaim. The exact point is confirmed with your booking.
How much is a transfer from London City to The City?
Fixed from £57 for a saloon, confirmed before you book — larger vehicles priced up front too.
Will our cases fit?
A saloon takes two large cases, an estate four, and our MPVs and vans far more. Tell us the load when you book and the right vehicle is sent.
Could the fare change with traffic?
Yes — agreed in advance, with no meter and no surprises whatever the traffic does.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track the flight and move the pickup automatically, at no charge, with 60 minutes of complimentary wait.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes — infant, child and booster seats on request (£8 each). Add them when you book with the child’s age and the correct seat is fitted before pickup.
