One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the Edinburgh arrival to a recording at Television Centre, the terminal to a riverside flat south of the Broadway, or a hotel by the Lyric to London City for a morning flight back to Glasgow. When you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; when you leave, 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 by Hammersmith Broadway before a run of shows at the Apollo, then back to the Royal Docks once the last night is over. On big concert nights cars around the Broadway are in demand. 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 Hammersmith: Route and Drive Time

Hammersmith is 13 miles from London City Airport by road, normally 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes. Curiously, Heathrow is exactly as far, 13 miles, yet takes only 35–50 minutes, because it is a straight run out along the A4 and the M4, while the drive from the Docks has to work its way through the City, Westminster and Kensington.

At the Hammersmith end, the A4 and its flyover lead into the gyratory. The Eventim Apollo and the Lyric are close to it, the riverside lies to the south, and White City, with Television Centre and Westfield London, is a separate approach further north. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Why choose the Docks for a west London trip? British Airways flies into London City from Edinburgh and Glasgow, so a performer or producer coming down from Scotland may land here. Fly with the airline whose schedule suits you, and the car meets that flight.

At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. With a single terminal building, no terminal choice is involved. 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 Hammersmith

Hammersmith is the northern half of a borough it shares with Fulham. Hotels and offices are grouped around the Broadway; streets of flats and houses run south to the Thames, with Barnes on the opposite bank.

Cars cannot use Hammersmith Bridge: it has been shut to vehicles since April 2019, though people on foot and bicycles still cross. For an address near the gyratory or along the riverside, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go. At White City, name the building: BBC Studioworks records in Studios 1 to 3 at Television Centre, which also houses flats and offices.

From Hammersmith Back to London City Airport

For the return, plan by the drive: 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, which is double the time to Heathrow from the same street. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

On concert and comedy nights at the Eventim Apollo, the area around the Broadway fills when the audience leaves. If you are a performer flying home the next morning, keep the airport run for the morning instead of the end of the show, and remember that London City closes at 12:30 on Saturdays.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Door to door, how long is London City Airport to Hammersmith by car?

Normally 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes for the 13 miles. Crossing central London takes up the bulk of it, so the time you land decides much of it.

What happens if my evening flight from Scotland lands late?

Nothing changes on your side: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. If the airline rebooks you onto another departure, send the new flight to support.

Is there more than one terminal at London City?

No, there is one. 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.

Can the car drop me across the river in Barnes?

Yes, but not over Hammersmith Bridge, which vehicles have been unable to use since April 2019. The car uses another bridge, so give the Barnes address in the booking and the detour is part of the plan.

We are a crew of ten with camera cases. Which vehicle should we book?

Ten people fit one van, but camera and lighting cases take extra room: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. List every case in the booking, and if the kit is bulky, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load.

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

A consultation opened on 2 March 2026 on a shallower glide path that would bring Airbus A320neo jets to London City. In Hammersmith, the council shelved its plan to reopen the bridge to vehicles on 1 July 2026, with no new date set.
