Landing at London City Airport, your One2One driver is already tracking your flight and will either be waiting at a standard pick-up point outside, or — if you’ve booked Premium Meet & Greet for £17 — right inside the terminal holding a name board, which is a genuinely quick option given how compact London City’s arrivals area is compared to somewhere like Heathrow.
How does pick-up work at London City Airport?
London City is one of the smaller, more manageable UK airports, so pick-up logistics are simpler than at the bigger hubs. Your driver tracks your flight automatically and adjusts to your actual landing time, meaning a delayed flight never turns into a missed pickup or an argument about waiting charges. Free waiting time is 5 minutes from a standard pickup and 10 minutes at express points — beyond that, waiting is charged at £0.34 per minute, though flight delays themselves are never charged. See our main London City Airport transfers page for the full fare table by London area.
What does Premium Meet & Greet include at London City?
For £17, your driver waits inside the terminal, arrivals-side, with a name board — meaning you don’t need to identify a pickup zone or walk any distance at all. Given how quickly you can clear arrivals at London City compared to a bigger airport, this option genuinely earns its price for business travellers moving straight from plane to meeting, or anyone with luggage they’d rather not haul across a car park.
Is Meet & Greet worth it for a short trip?
It depends on your priorities rather than the length of your flight. If you’re travelling light and know your way around, the standard pick-up point works fine and saves the extra charge. If you’re pressed for time, travelling for business, or simply want the smoothest possible exit from the terminal, the £17 Premium option removes any uncertainty about where to go next. For the full breakdown of fixed fares by area, see our London City Airport taxi fares guide.
| Pick-up option | Where you meet your driver | Additional charge |
|---|---|---|
| Standard pick-up point | Outside, short walk from terminal | Included |
| Premium Meet & Greet | Inside terminal, arrivals-side, name board | \u00a317 |
What if I’m being dropped off rather than collected?
London City Airport’s own Express Drop-off charge is £3.50 — the lowest of any London airport in our fare table, and passed on to you at cost with no markup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to call ahead to confirm my pick-up point?
No — your driver already has your flight details and pick-up preference from your booking. If anything changes on the day, the office is on +44 20 7121 8888, 24 hours a day.
What happens if my flight lands early?
Your driver tracks your flight in real time and adjusts to your actual landing time, whether that’s earlier or later than scheduled.
Can I book Premium Meet & Greet for just the return leg, not the outbound drop-off?
Yes — the outbound drop-off and return pick-up are booked as separate legs, so you can choose Meet & Greet for the collection only if that’s where it’s most useful to you.
Is there a cancellation charge if my plans change?
Cancellations are free up to 4 hours before your scheduled pickup; inside that window, a 100% charge applies and changes must be made by phone on +44 20 7121 8888.
