Airport Transfers from London City Airport (LCY) to Brentwood

One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to an insurance office in the town centre, the airport to a family home near Weald Country Park, or a house by Thorndon Country Park to the airport for a morning departure to Zurich. When you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the outward trip, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: a house near Shenfield to London City on Monday morning for a week of meetings in Frankfurt and the terminal back home on Friday, or the airport to the Brentwood Centre for the chess congress and back after the final round. 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 Brentwood: Route and Drive Time

Brentwood is an Essex town just beyond the M25, north-east of the Royal Docks. The drive is 17 miles, normally 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes: east London streets first, then the A12, which passes the town to the north, or the M25 at junction 28. The roads out of London, more than the mileage, set the pace.

Your address settles the final mile: the High Street and town centre are north of Brentwood station; Shenfield is to the north-east; Weald Country Park and Thorndon Country Park mark the edges of the town. Brentwood Cathedral, the Roman Catholic cathedral, is on Ingrave Road. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

London City Airport to Brentwood: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

In 2025, 3.74 million passengers passed through London City's single terminal in the Royal Docks. Pre-booked cars do not stop at its doors; your collection is from Short Stay parking.

On the day you fly in, 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.

Brentwood has direct Elizabeth line trains into central London, but that line does not call at the airport. The DLR from the terminal gets to Canning Town in under 7 minutes, and Brentwood is still several changes beyond it, so with luggage the car is the simpler choice.

Arriving at Your Address in Brentwood

Brentwood's employers include Equity Insurance Group, with its headquarters in the town centre, and offices of BNY Mellon and LV=. For a visit to one of them, put the company and the building in the booking. Brentwood School, founded in 1557, is another common destination for families at the start and end of term.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If your house has a name rather than a number, as on some lanes towards the country parks, write both the name and the road.

For a game of the London Leopards basketball team or another event at the Brentwood Centre, the venue name is enough.

From Brentwood Back to London City Airport

Count on 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes for the drive back to the Royal Docks, and more when the A12 into east London is slow in the morning. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

For a day trip to a European office, the early flights from London City mean an early start from Brentwood, so set the pick-up from the length of the drive, not from the departure time alone.

Pack with security in mind: as of August 2026, London City's checkpoints kept the 100 ml rule for liquids in cabin bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Brentwood from London City Airport?

Brentwood is 17 miles away, normally 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, by the A12 or the M25. The busiest part is the way out of east London.

What if my evening flight into London City lands late?

The pick-up follows the plane, not the timetable: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Put the flight number in the booking.

Having landed at London City, how do I reach my chauffeur?

Make your way to Short Stay parking; that is where this airport has pre-booked cars collect. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Brentwood inside the M25?

No. The motorway runs past the south-west side of Brentwood, meeting the A12 at junction 28, so Brentwood lies outside the motorway ring, in Essex and beyond Greater London.

Eight colleagues are flying to London City for meetings in Brentwood. Is one vehicle enough?

If they share a flight, yes: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Colleagues on different flights each need a booking of their own.

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

Drop-offs at London City's terminal have been charged since 6 January 2026, using number-plate cameras; a premium lounge run by Aspire is expected by early 2027. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.
