One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a house in Chingford Mount, the airport to the Hunting Lodge on Rangers Road for a cycling group, or a home in Highams Park to the Royal Docks for a dawn departure. On arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the way out, 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 family home near Chingford Plain on Friday evening, and out to the docks again once the rides are over. Over spring and summer bank holidays, reserve the return 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 Chingford: Route and Drive Time

Chingford is the most northerly district of Waltham Forest, and beyond its last streets lies Epping Forest. From the Royal Docks the car travels north through Leyton and Walthamstow, keeping the reservoirs of the Lee Valley to the west. The distance is 13 miles, normally 40–55 minutes.

The last mile is decided by which side of Chingford you are going to. Chingford Mount is the southern part, around its shopping parade; the station and the old centre are further north; and Chingford Plain, Rangers Road and Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge mark the start of the forest. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City is a compact airport with a single terminal, set on the water between two of the Royal Docks. Booked cars are collected in its Short Stay car park, which you reach on foot after customs.

For your flight, 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.

Overground trains from Liverpool Street terminate at Chingford. Going by train would mean the DLR, a crossing into the City and then the whole length of that line; with a bike box or rucksacks, the car avoids every change.

Arriving at Your Address in Chingford

Epping Forest begins at the top of Chingford and runs north into Essex; the City of London Corporation is its owner and keeper. Henry VIII had Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge built of timber in 1543; it still stands on Rangers Road, next to The View visitor centre.

For a home along one of the forest roads or close to Chingford Plain, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. For a cycling or walking party, Rangers Road by the lodge is a clear point to name, and a family home in Highams Park or Chingford Mount simply needs the street and number.

From Chingford Back to London City Airport

On the way back, judge the drive by its length, 40–55 minutes on an ordinary day, rather than by the clock. Weekday mornings through Walthamstow and Leyton are slower. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

If your flight falls on a spring or summer bank holiday weekend, when walkers and cyclists head for the forest edge, leave a margin.

As the airport has one terminal, the car needs only your flight time and address in Chingford, not a terminal number.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the usual drive time between London City Airport and Chingford?

Normally 40–55 minutes for the 13 miles, through Leyton and Walthamstow. Weekday rush hours are at the slower end of that range.

Our flight to London City is diverted to another airport. What then?

Message support with the airport you were diverted to and your arrival time, and the transfer is rearranged for that arrival; for London City itself, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time.

Does the chauffeur meet me at the kerb outside London City's terminal?

No. The pick-up for booked cars is inside 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.

Who looks after Epping Forest at Chingford?

The City of London Corporation owns the forest and runs it, although it lies outside the City. The View visitor centre, beside Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge on Rangers Road, is the forest's information point in Chingford.

Can you carry a cycling club with bike boxes from London City?

Yes, if the boxes are listed. Enter the number of bags in the booking form; for golf bags, bikes or other bulky items, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load. Riders on other flights get a transfer each.

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

From 2 March 2026 the airport has been asking for views on a new approach path designed for the larger A320neo. For forest weekends, note the 2027 May bank holidays: Monday 3 May and Monday 31 May.
