A taxi to London City Airport with One2One Cars starts from £46, fixed and confirmed before you travel — genuinely useful given how close London City sits to Central London, where a metered fare can climb fast in short-hop traffic that doesn’t reflect the actual distance travelled.
How much does a taxi to London City Airport cost?
Because London City is one of the closer airports to central London, fixed fares tend to sit lower than the longer runs to Gatwick or Stansted — but the value of a fixed fare is arguably even clearer here, since a short, traffic-heavy journey is exactly where a running meter can feel disproportionate to the actual distance. See our full London City Airport transfers page for the complete fare table, and always confirm your exact fare at Book Now before travelling.

Why book a fixed-fare transfer for such a short journey?
It’s a fair question — if London City is close to central London, why not just hail a cab? The honest answer is the same reason fixed fares matter anywhere: price certainty. Short, traffic-dependent routes are exactly where metered fares can surprise you, and a fixed price agreed before you travel means the number on your booking confirmation is the number you actually pay, whether the DLR’s disrupted or the roads round the Royal Docks are unusually busy.
