Airport Transfers from London City Airport (LCY) to Ealing

One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to the gate of Ealing Studios, the airport to a flat beside Walpole Park, or a house near Ealing Common to London City before a Monday business trip. For arrivals, 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: from the dockside terminal to a hotel near Ealing Broadway when the shoot starts, and back to London City on the day it wraps. On an England match weekend, west London cars are reserved early, so the return is better booked with the arrival. 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 Ealing: Route and Drive Time

Ealing lies at the western edge of inner London, and the airport is out in the Royal Docks, so the whole width of the capital is between them. By road it is 28 miles, normally 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes; the route the car takes is longer than a straight line across the map, and the time depends on how busy the roads are when you land.

Ealing itself is spread out. The Broadway and its station form the commercial heart, Ealing Green with the film studios is just south of it, the Town Hall stands on the Uxbridge Road, and quieter roads lead east towards Ealing Common. Put the full street address in the booking rather than only the district, so the driver heads for the right part of town. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

London City Airport to Ealing: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

An Ealing booking needs no terminal number, since London City has just the one building. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. On landing, 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.

The rail alternative is a long one. The DLR from the terminal runs to Stratford, and from there the Central line crosses London to its western end at Ealing Broadway. That works with a rucksack; with camera cases or a family's suitcases, the car from the Short Stay car park is the simpler choice.

Arriving at Your Address in Ealing

Ealing is the administrative centre of its borough: the Town Hall has housed the council since 1965, with Perceval House next door. Walpole Park, the former Pitzhanger Manor estate, lies a few minutes from the Broadway, and the Ealing Broadway Centre holds the main shops.

On Ealing Green stand Ealing Studios, with a claim to be the oldest film studios on earth. If you are going to the studio gate, a flat on a side road or a house near the Common, give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. The Broadway station, in fare zone 3, suits anyone who wants to continue by train.

From Ealing Back to London City Airport

The drive back takes 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes; the Ealing pick-up time should follow from that range. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

There is only one terminal to reach, whatever your airline. England play Six Nations home matches at Allianz Stadium on 14 and 20 February and 13 March 2027, and if your flight home falls on one of those days, leave Ealing earlier than usual. Remember the Saturday closure too: London City has no flights after 12:30 that day, and departures resume on Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Ealing from London City Airport?

By road, Ealing is 28 miles away, and the drive normally takes 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes. The car crosses the whole of London from east to west, so the time of day matters a great deal.

My London City flight has been put back to the evening. Does the chauffeur know?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, and the new landing time becomes the pick-up time. The flight number in the booking is all it needs.

Do chauffeur cars have their own collection area at London City?

Yes, in the car park beside the single terminal. 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.

How far is Allianz Stadium from Ealing?

Allianz Stadium lies about 5 miles south of central Ealing, 25–35 minutes on a normal day by car. It is England's home rugby ground, in Twickenham; on match days, plan a later or earlier time for the drive.

We are a film crew of eight with flight cases. What do we book from London City?

Eight people with equipment need a van: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Count the cases, tripods and rails in the booking, so the vehicle is matched to the load.

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

London City reaches 40 years of flights in 2027 and expects a premium lounge, operated by Aspire, to open early in 2027. England's 2027 Six Nations home dates at Allianz Stadium are 14 February (France), 20 February (Italy) and 13 March (Scotland).
