One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a production office at Eastbrook Studios, the airport to a family home on the Becontree estate, or a hotel near the studios to London City for a Friday flight. For a flight in, 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 the studio gate in Dagenham East on the first day of a shoot, and from the gate to the terminal once the last scene is done. When several productions are filming, cars near the studios 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 Dagenham: Route and Drive Time

Dagenham is the eastern half of the borough of Barking and Dagenham, further along the Thames from the Royal Docks. The drive from the terminal is 7 miles, normally 25–35 minutes, and the A13 carries most of it before the car turns north into the district.

Dagenham covers a wide area, so the address sets the last part of the trip. The Ford plant and Dagenham Dock are down by the river; the Becontree estate fills the middle; Eastbrook Studios, on the former Sanofi site, is on the Dagenham East side, and Valence House sits in its park to the north-west. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

With one terminal for all flights, a Dagenham crew landing on two different planes still comes out in one place. Passengers with a pre-booked car head for the Short Stay car park, where collections take place.

Whether you are on the first or the last 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.

If you have camera cases or a costume trunk in the hold, say so in the booking, so a car with enough room, or a van, is sent to the airport.

Arriving at Your Address in Dagenham

Eastbrook Studios opened in early 2025 with 12 sound stages and a backlot, and its gate is in Dagenham East. For a production, give the stage or office you are going to, not just the studio name. Ford's Dagenham plant, which opened in 1931, still makes engines on the riverside, and visitors there also need the gate.

Between the wars the Becontree estate covered a large part of Dagenham with council-built terraced roads. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. Valence House, now the borough's museum, is reached by name.

From Dagenham Back to London City Airport

For the return, count 25–35 minutes of driving and leave room for the A13 at rush hour. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

On a shoot, call times change late in the day. If a wrap runs over, update the pick-up in your booking as soon as you know; the Dagenham car follows the new time. As all flights share one terminal, no terminal number is required.

London City has no flights after 12:30 on Saturdays, worth knowing if a shoot wraps on a Friday night.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How much road lies between London City Airport and Dagenham?

7 miles, normally 25–35 minutes by car, mostly along the A13. The exact time depends on which part of Dagenham you are going to.

Our crew's flight into London City has been pushed back by three hours. Do we rebook?

No new booking is needed. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car moves with the delay.

Where do crews meet their car at London City?

Walk out of the terminal and across to the Short Stay car park; pre-booked crew cars load there. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Dagenham inside the ULEZ?

Yes. Dagenham is in the borough of Barking and Dagenham. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough around the clock. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

Can you move a camera team with flight cases from the airport?

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. Up to 12 crew fit one Sprinter van; a crew member on another plane is booked on a separate transfer.

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

A consultation opened on 2 March 2026 on a new, shallower approach path, designed so that bigger Airbus A320neo jets can use the runway. Its fortieth year of flying falls in 2027, and as of August 2026 liquids in hand luggage were still limited to 100 ml containers.
