One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a farmhouse outside Epping, the airport to the Visitor Centre at High Beach for a walking group, or a home near Epping station to London City for the Monday flight. On landing, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the outward leg, 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 house near Epping High Street on Friday afternoon, and to the airport again on Sunday evening. At Easter and in the summer holidays, book both directions 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 Epping: Route and Drive Time

Epping is a market town in Essex at the northern end of Epping Forest, beyond the north-east edge of Greater London. Leaving the Royal Docks, the route climbs north out of east London and either follows the M11 to Junction 7 or runs up through the forest; the distance is 18 miles, normally 45 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes.

Your exact address in and around Epping settles the final stretch. The High Street and the station are in the town itself; farmhouses and lanes lie on its edges; and the forest stretches south towards High Beach and its visitor centre. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City has one terminal building, and all arrivals leave it by the same exit. Pre-booked chauffeur cars are not allowed at the terminal kerb; their collection point is the Short Stay car park.

As the flight approaches, 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.

London City is also changing its approach procedure: a consultation opened on 2 March 2026 on a gentler descent path that would allow the bigger A320neo to use the runway.

Arriving at Your Address in Epping

Epping's shops line its long High Street, and the Central line ends at Epping station, so trains run through Stratford into the West End without a change. Junction 7 of the M11 is to the north-east of town, and the M25 passes to the south.

For a farm or a cottage down a country lane near the trees, give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a group going to the Epping Forest Visitor Centre at High Beach, name the centre, since it lies inside the forest rather than in the town.

From Epping Back to London City Airport

For the journey back, plan by its length: 45 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes when the roads are clear, and more during the weekday morning peak in east London. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Because the M11 and the M25 both pass close to Epping, the route can be adjusted to the traffic on the day, but an early weekday flight still needs a margin.

Pack toiletries in small containers: in August 2026 London City's security still kept the 100 ml rule.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How many miles and minutes is it from London City Airport to Epping?

18 miles, normally 45 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes. The car leaves east London to the north and finishes on the M11 or the forest roads.

Our flight to London City now lands after midnight. Is the car still booked?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the booking follows the new arrival time without a call from you.

After I land at London City, which way do I go for the car?

Walk over to the short-stay parking next to the terminal; the booked car collects you there. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Epping in London?

Not administratively. Epping belongs to Essex and gives its name to the local district, which lies just beyond the edge of Greater London. Its station is still on the Underground: the eastern end of the Central line.

A walking club of 14 is landing together. What should we book?

Fourteen walkers are more than one van holds: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. List rucksacks and poles, and book early for Easter.

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

By early 2027 London City expects to open a new lounge with Aspire as its operator. In August 2026 hand-luggage liquids there were still capped at 100 ml.
