One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a unit on a Crayford trading estate, the airport to a family home near the River Cray, or a house close to Crayford station to London City for the 07:00 flight to Frankfurt. When you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, 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 warehouse in Crayford for a two-day installation, then out to the airport again for a Thursday evening departure. If the job may finish early, set the return for the latest likely time. 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 Crayford: Route and Drive Time

Crayford is south-east of the airport, across the river, at the edge of the London Borough of Bexley where it meets Kent. The run is 12 miles, normally 35–50 minutes: first a river crossing from the airport side to the south bank, then the main roads east through the borough.

The final mile depends on which part of Crayford you need. The old centre and the station sit by the River Cray; the trading estates and retail parks are spread along the main road towards Dartford, which is just over the county line. For a business unit, the estate name and unit number matter more than the street. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Two docks frame the airport, Royal Albert on one side and King George V on the other, and the ExCeL exhibition halls sit about 1 mile away. Passengers who have booked a car walk across to the Short Stay car park, since that is where booked cars collect at this airport; nobody is picked up at the kerb.

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.

Landing with hand luggage only and walking straight out is covered by the same plan. Crayford has no direct rail link from the docks, which is why the car is the simple option.

Arriving at Your Address in Crayford

A century ago this was a factory town, with the arms and aviation firm Vickers among its employers. Today the business addresses are trading estates and shopping parks, and many of them have a single entrance from the main road.

Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. For a unit on an estate, give the unit number and the business name shown at the entrance. For a house by the river or near the station, the street and house number are enough. If you plan an afternoon at the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent, about 8 miles from Crayford, that is a separate booking or an hourly reservation.

From Crayford Back to London City Airport

Plan the return by its length: 35–50 minutes on a normal day for the 12 miles back to the docks, longer when the river crossings are busy in the morning or evening peak. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

London City has one terminal for every departure, and it closes at 12:30 on Saturdays. A Friday evening flight therefore suits a weekend away better than a Saturday afternoon plan.

If you are leaving from a trading estate at the end of a working day, give the unit as the pick-up address and allow for the time it takes to sign out of the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How many miles is it from London City Airport to Crayford?

12 miles, which normally takes 35–50 minutes. You cross the Thames close to the airport, then head east through the borough of Bexley.

The airline has moved us to a later London City flight. What should we do?

Send the new flight number to support. For the same flight running late, nothing is needed: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time.

Can the car pull up at the London City terminal doors?

No. Booked cars collect from a dedicated zone of 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 there still greyhound racing at Crayford?

No. Racing at the Crayford greyhound track ended in January 2025, and the site was later advertised for sale. If your address is near the old stadium, give the street and number in the booking.

Can an engineering team with tool cases ride together from London City to Crayford?

Yes. 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. A Sprinter van seats up to 12, and anyone landing on a different flight is booked separately.

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

Aspire, the lounge operator, is preparing a premium lounge at London City for opening by early 2027. Cabin bags at its security were still held to liquids of 100 ml or less per container in August 2026.
