London City Airport to Barnet: Route and Drive Time
Barnet, known too as Chipping Barnet or High Barnet, is the market town on the northern edge of the capital, while the airport sits in the far east, by the Thames. The ride from the terminal to the High Street is 21 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. It runs west and then north across north London, and the final climb brings you up to the town on its ridge.
The town centre stands about 130 metres above sea level, and the old Great North Road leads through it. The last turns depend on your street: the High Street and Wood Street in the centre, the hospital on the edge of town, or the houses around Hadley Common. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport
London City's one terminal lies in Newham, at the opposite end of the capital from Barnet. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park.
Whatever time you are due, 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.
High Barnet is the last stop at the northern end of its own Northern line branch, so by public transport the journey from the DLR crosses the whole city and ends with the longest ride on that line. With suitcases, the car takes you directly to your door.
Arriving at Your Address in Barnet
Barnet received its market charter from King John in 1199 and stayed in Hertfordshire until 1965, when the new London borough formed around it was named after the town. Wood Street, with its listed cottages and Barnet Museum, runs west from the centre.
Barnet Hospital, an NHS hospital serving the north of the borough, is on the edge of town. For a ward visit, an appointment or a family home in Arkley or Hadley Wood, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop.
New Barnet, down the hill to the east, has its own station on the East Coast Main Line, so a house near it is a separate approach from the High Street.
From Barnet Back to London City Airport
Going back takes 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes in usual traffic, longer with a slow North Circular. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
London City has one terminal, so the chauffeur needs only your address in Barnet and the flight time. For a Saturday trip, check the timetable first: the airport closes at 12:30 on Saturdays.
Barnet Fair, the horse fair held each September under a charter of 1588, brings visitors and extra traffic to the town. If you fly out during fair week, add some margin to the pick-up.
