One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to the Memorial Museum for a visit, the airport to a cottage off Main Road, or a family home in the village to London City for a Sunday flight. For an airline arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the return, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: London City to a house on the Downs above Biggin Hill on arrival day, then the Downs to the terminal for the airline flight home. Around the September anniversary, reserve both legs early. 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 Biggin Hill: Route and Drive Time

Biggin Hill is a hilltop village of the Bromley borough, up on the North Downs where Greater London meets Kent. From the Royal Docks the drive is 18 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes: first across the Thames, then south through the suburbs of Bromley, and finally up the A233 onto the hills.

The village shares its name with London Biggin Hill Airport, which serves business aviation only, with no scheduled or fare-paying passenger flights. Travellers on an airline flight therefore come in through London City or Gatwick and finish the trip by road. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

This page covers arrivals on airline flights into London City, the one-terminal airport in the Royal Docks. Your chauffeur meets you where London City sends all pre-booked cars: a pick-up zone in the Short Stay parking.

With your airline flight number in the booking, 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.

No railway line reaches the village, so a train from the Royal Docks cannot bring you all the way. With bags, the car is the direct option.

Arriving at Your Address in Biggin Hill

The village is spread along Main Road and the lanes around it, with houses well apart on the edge of the Downs. If your lane address uses a house name, put it in the booking. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

The landmark address is the Biggin Hill Memorial Museum, built next to St George's RAF Chapel of Remembrance; it tells the story of the fighter station that defended London in the Battle of Britain. Chartwell, the Westerham house where Winston Churchill lived, belongs to the National Trust and lies a short drive south.

From Biggin Hill Back to London City Airport

Leaving the village, reckon on 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes of driving on an ordinary day, more at peak times on the roads through Bromley. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

The first part runs on the A233 and village lanes, so a pick-up from a rural address takes a few minutes longer to reach the main road. With a single terminal at London City, your flight time is all the booking needs on that side.

Remember that London City closes at 12:30 on Saturdays; a weekend trip back from the Downs works with a Saturday morning or Sunday departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Biggin Hill from London City Airport?

18 miles by road, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. The last part climbs the A233 onto the North Downs, so give the house name if you live on a lane.

What if my airline flight into London City is held up?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, and a delayed landing shifts the Biggin Hill pick-up accordingly. Make sure the airline flight number is in the booking.

After my airline flight lands at London City, where is the car?

Pre-booked cars are collected in London City's Short Stay car park; make your way there after baggage reclaim. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is there an airline route into Biggin Hill itself?

No. The airfield in the village handles business aviation, meaning private jets and helicopters; it has no permission for scheduled services or flights sold to paying passengers. Our transfers on this page start from London City.

A delegation of 18 is coming for a memorial service. What should we reserve?

Eighteen people are more than one van takes: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Mention wreaths or standards with the luggage.

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

Dropping passengers at the terminal kerb has carried a charge at London City since 6 January 2026; cameras record each vehicle, and a stay of no more than 10 minutes is permitted. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.
