Airport Transfers from London City Airport (LCY) to Cobham

One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a hotel near Junction 10, the airport to Stoke d'Abernon for a meeting at the training ground, or a home near Painshill to the docks for a Monday business flight. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for departures, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from the Royal Docks to a house on a private road in Cobham for a week's stay, then back to the dockside terminal on the day you leave. On Sandown race weekends in December and July, cars around Esher and Cobham go 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 Cobham: Route and Drive Time

On the River Mole, south-west of London, Cobham belongs to the Surrey borough of Elmbridge. The airport lies across the whole capital, in the Royal Docks, and the drive is 31 miles, normally 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes.

Junction 10, where the A3 meets the M25, is right next to the town, and both roads lead there from London City: one through the south-west suburbs, the other round the orbital motorway. Traffic on the day decides which one the driver takes. From the junction, a few minutes on local roads bring you into the town, out towards Painshill on the western edge or north-east to Stoke d'Abernon. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

A public consultation running since 2 March 2026 asks whether a gentler descent should open the Royal Docks runway to bigger A320neo aircraft. Whichever aircraft brings you in, there is a single terminal to leave by.

At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. 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.

Arriving at Your Address in Cobham

Stoke d'Abernon, the north-eastern part of Cobham, is home to Chelsea FC's Cobham Training Centre and lies close to Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon station, which has trains to Waterloo. Painshill, an 18th-century landscape garden, is on the western edge, and the RHS flagship garden at Wisley lies about 5 miles off.

Some houses around Cobham stand on private estate roads with gates. For such an address, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

From Cobham Back to London City Airport

Count on 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes for the drive back, and plan by that, not by the departure hour. Junction 10 is close, yet the orbital motorway and the approach to the Docks decide the timing. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

One terminal means one destination at the airport; your flight and the Cobham address complete the booking. Saturday flights from London City end at 12:30, so a weekend departure means an early start from Surrey.

Does the Cobham car meet me in a car park at London City?

Yes. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in 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.

Is Chelsea's training ground in Cobham?

Yes. The club trains at the Cobham Training Centre in Stoke d'Abernon, the north-eastern corner of the town, near Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon station. Give the gate or reception address in the booking.

A visiting coaching staff of nine with kit bags: what vehicle fits?

A Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. 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.
