What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Sopwell House, your driver meets you in arrivals at London City Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the manor’s gravel front takes cars directly; spa guests can ask to be collected at the Cottonmill entrance instead — just tell us when booking.
Both directions, one price
Sopwell House to London City Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £110 holds either way.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at London City Airport, and a car at the door at Sopwell House — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
The fleet

Travel notes
Good to know about Sopwell House to London City Airport.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to Sopwell House is the nearest mainline station — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for London City Airport.
Local knowledge
Wedding parties here often need staggered cars back to London and Luton — one coordinated booking with us beats a dozen separate taxi apps at midnight.
Timing
The 27-mile run typically takes 50 min–1h 10. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
