One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to Elstree Studios on Shenley Road, the airport to a production office near Clarendon Road, or a hotel in the town to London City for an evening flight after a recording. On arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; when you leave, 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 hotel in Borehamwood when a director flies in for a week of preparation at the studios, and the return to the terminal when the preparation is over. 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 Borehamwood: Route and Drive Time

Borehamwood lies just beyond the northern boundary of Greater London, in the Hertfordshire borough of Hertsmere. The terminal is 26 miles from the town, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes by car. The longest part is the run across north London; the A1 then takes the car out past the boundary to the town.

The studios decide where the ride ends. Shenley Road, in the middle of town, has Elstree Studios; the BBC Elstree Centre lies off Clarendon Road; Sky Studios Elstree is a third, separate site. Because the three share the Elstree name, put the full studio address in the booking rather than the name alone. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City sits on a narrow strip of former dockland in Newham, and all its flights use one terminal. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park.

When your flight is 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.

Rail is no shortcut here. Elstree & Borehamwood station has Thameslink trains from St Pancras, and getting there from the DLR at the terminal means crossing London first. For an actor called to set on the day of arrival, the car runs from the terminal to the studio in one go.

Arriving at Your Address in Borehamwood

Borehamwood is the most populous town in Hertsmere, and screen work gives it its character. Elstree Studios produced Star Wars (1977) and The Shining (1980), EastEnders is made at the BBC Elstree Centre, and the newest site, Sky Studios Elstree, completed its final stage in March 2023.

For a studio, a production office or a hotel in the town, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

Borehamwood once belonged to Elstree parish, hence the studio names. If you are staying in a house near Aberford Park rather than at a studio, the house number and postcode are what the chauffeur needs.

From Borehamwood Back to London City Airport

Heading back to the airport, allow 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes in normal conditions; the A1 and the North Circular decide whether it is the shorter or the longer figure. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

London City has one terminal for departures, so the chauffeur works only from your Borehamwood address and the departure time. Keep the weekend in mind as well: the airport closes at 12:30 on Saturdays, so a crew wrapping on a Friday night flies out on Saturday morning or waits until Sunday.

If a shoot runs late, a later pick-up is a new time in the booking, so tell support as soon as the schedule changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

London City Airport to Borehamwood: how long in the car?

Normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes for 26 miles, from the Royal Docks across north London and up the A1. The morning and evening rush can push it to the upper figure.

Does a delayed landing at London City change my booking?

You do not need to change anything. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, and a late landing simply moves the car's time. Should the studio call move as well, let support know.

Do I look for the studio car outside the London City terminal doors?

No. Bookinglane chauffeurs, like other pre-booked drivers, are assigned a zone within Short Stay parking; your collection happens there. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Borehamwood in London?

No. The town lies just beyond the Greater London boundary, in Hertsmere, Hertfordshire. Its station is nevertheless in Travelcard Zone 6, with Thameslink trains to St Pancras.

Can you collect a production team arriving on different flights?

Yes. Give every flight a transfer of its own, and when you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. List camera cases and other bulky kit, and the vehicle is matched to the load.

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

In September 2025 planners approved ten further stages at Sky Studios Elstree, on a site known as Elstree North, so more studio traffic can be expected in the years ahead. At the airport, 2027 marks 40 years of flights.
