One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a hotel by Hampton Court Palace, London City to a home in Hampton Hill, or a house near Hampton station to the Royal Docks for a flight to Edinburgh. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for your return, 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 family's house by the river in Hampton for a long weekend, and Hampton back to the Royal Docks when the visit ends. For a family over from Guernsey, the flight home and the drive to the terminal then sit together. 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 Hampton: Route and Drive Time

Hampton lies at the far western end of the borough of Richmond upon Thames, on the north bank of the river, so from the Docks the car crosses London from one end to the other: 23 miles, normally 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes.

Near the end, three landmarks frame the district. The A308 Upper Sunbury Road follows the river past the Victorian water treatment works, Bushy Park closes Hampton off to the east, and Hampton Hill rises to the north. Which of them your address is closest to decides the last few minutes. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

London City Airport to Hampton: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Every flight into London City, whatever the airline, uses its one terminal in the Royal Docks. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. For arrivals, 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.

Visitors from the Channel Islands have a direct service: Aurigny flies to London City from Guernsey. Everyone passes through the same building, so there is only one exit to find before the drive west.

Arriving at Your Address in Hampton

Hampton's addresses run from the riverside, with David Garrick's Temple to Shakespeare and the ferry landing, up to the streets around the station and the two large schools, Hampton School and Lady Eleanor Holles. If your visit is to one of the schools, give its name and the entrance you need.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If you are staying at Hampton Court, further east by the palace, say so: it belongs to the same borough but is a separate area, and the car takes a different road to reach it.

From Hampton Back to London City Airport

For the return, plan on the drive, 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes, not on the departure time alone. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

If a race meeting is on at Kempton Park, next door in Sunbury, the local roads may be slower at the start; the course holds its Christmas Festival on 26 and 27 December 2026. Derby weekend at Epsom, on 4 and 5 June 2027, is another time to leave more room. At the Docks one terminal handles every departure, so the flight time and your Hampton address complete the booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

By road, how far is Hampton from London City Airport?

23 miles by road, which normally takes 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes. The car travels from the Royal Docks to the western end of Richmond upon Thames, across all of London.

What if fog in Guernsey holds up my flight?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, and a delay just shifts the pick-up later. Should you be rebooked onto a different service, give support the new flight number.

Do I meet the car in the terminal building?

No, the meeting point is outside it: 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.

Does Hampton count as London or Surrey?

London: it is part of Richmond upon Thames borough. Across the river, the Molesey bank that the Hampton Ferry serves is in Surrey. Put the full postcode in the booking.

We are eight people with costume bags and instruments. Will one vehicle do?

A Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. 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.

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

A consultation launched on 2 March 2026 looks at changing the approach to London City so that the larger Airbus A320neo can land there. Its Saturday flying still ends at 12:30. Near Hampton, Epsom stages the Derby on 5 June 2027.
