Getting between Greenwich and London City Airport
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Set-down at the Cutty Sark works for the town and the college; for the Observatory itself we drive to Blackheath Gate and spare you the park climb. At London City Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 5-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 15–25 min for the 5 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
