How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
The Strand campus takes set-down on Surrey Street; Guy’s campus by London Bridge uses St Thomas Street — your booking names the campus. At London City Airport, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included.
Every charge inside
Tolls, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ are all in the quoted fare.
Term-time fluent
Open days, interviews, moves and graduation — each has its own timetable and access rules, and we plan around all of them.
Flight tracked
Inbound journeys are tracked in real time; the King’s pickup moves with your actual arrival at no extra cost.
Cars & capacity
King’s to London City from £55.

Local knowledge
Good to know about King’s to London City.
Move-in weekends
Freshers’ arrival dates funnel every family into the same few days. Halls set one-way systems and timed unloading bays — we book the slot with you and bring an estate or MPV so a year’s kit moves in one run.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Moving in and out
A term’s luggage usually fits one estate; a full house move wants the MPV. Tell us about the instruments and the bicycle first.
Worth knowing
Graduations split between the Barbican and Southbank venues by faculty — check the ticket before booking the car and we aim at the right hall.
Getting between King’s and London City Airport
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The Strand campus takes set-down on Surrey Street; Guy’s campus by London Bridge uses St Thomas Street — your booking names the campus. At London City Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 8-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 20–30 min for the 8 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 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
