One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a family home in TW15, London City to an appointment at Ashford Hospital, or a house near Ashford station to the terminal for a Málaga holiday. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: your house in Ashford to London City for a week in Mallorca, and the terminal back to TW15 when the family returns. With the outward and return flights both known, the two rides can be fixed in one go. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at LCY, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London City Airport to Ashford: Route and Drive Time

This route ends in Ashford, Surrey, the Spelthorne town on the south-western side of Heathrow, not in Ashford, Kent. From the Royal Docks the town is right across London: 27 miles, normally 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes.

Its northern side follows the A30, a dual carriageway, with the M25 and the M3 a short way off. Whether your address is near Ashford Hospital in the north, by the station, or out towards Queen Mary Reservoir decides the last few minutes. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

British Airways flies to London City from holiday airports such as Málaga, Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza, and from Faro in season, so a family coming home from the sun may land in the Royal Docks rather than at Heathrow. Every flight uses the one terminal. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

With children and cases in tow, it helps that there is only one building to leave and one car park to find.

Arriving at Your Address in Ashford

Ashford is a residential town with TW15 postcodes. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For Ashford Hospital, north of the centre near the A30, name the entrance or the department you are going to.

If the drop-off is a school, such as Thomas Knyvett College, or the Brooklands College campus, put its name next to the street. Homes near Bedfont Lakes Country Park or the reservoir are on the edges of the town, so the postcode matters there too.

From Ashford Back to London City Airport

Heading back to the Docks takes 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes; plan your start from that figure. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

A holiday flight on a Saturday has to leave London City before its 12:30 closing, so a Saturday departure from Ashford means an early start. In the school holidays, when the whole family flies together, book the departure as soon as the flights are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

Is London City Airport far from Ashford, Surrey?

Compared with Heathrow, yes. The drive is 27 miles and normally takes 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, because the whole width of the capital lies in between.

Our holiday flight home is running late. Does the car booking need changing?

Nothing to change. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a late arrival from Palma or Málaga moves the pick-up with it.

Where do we find the car at London City with children and suitcases?

With a trolley, aim for Short Stay parking: at London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which Ashford does this route serve?

The Surrey one: a Spelthorne town beside Heathrow whose postcodes start with TW15. The Kent town of the same name lies south-east of London and is a separate destination, so check the postcode in your booking.

How do we book for two families on one holiday flight?

One van can take both: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Child seats are requested in the booking form: choose a booster or an infant and child safety seat and the number you need.

What do you need to know about London City Airport in 2026–2027?

London City's Saturday flying still ends at 12:30. Closer to Ashford, Heathrow consults the public on expanding the airport between 27 October and 22 December 2026.
