One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the Belfast City arrival to a house off Hounslow High Street, the terminal to a meeting at Orbital Park, or a hotel on Bath Road to London City for the Guernsey flight. When you arrive, 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: the Docks to the family house by Hounslow Heath on the day grandparents land from Guernsey, then back to London City for their flight home a fortnight later. If the visit spans a Twickenham match day, the return is already in place. 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 Hounslow: Route and Drive Time

This is a long cross-London drive: Hounslow lies 20 miles from London City Airport, normally 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours by car. The town sits right next to Heathrow: the terminals are 6 miles, 25–35 minutes, away; part of Heathrow even falls within the Hounslow post town. London City is the choice only when the flight you need lands there.

The car travels west through the centre and out along the A4 Great West Road. In Hounslow, the A4, the A3006 Bath Road and the A30 meet at Henlys Roundabout, and the address decides which of them the driver uses for the final miles. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

A relative from the Channel Islands or Northern Ireland may still land in the Docks: Aurigny flies to London City from Guernsey, and British Airways from Belfast City. If that is the flight, the family car to Hounslow starts at the single terminal.

At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. 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. Going on by public transport is possible, with DLR trains leaving right beside the terminal, but the rail journey west to Hounslow involves several changes with suitcases.

Arriving at Your Address in Hounslow

Hounslow is the administrative centre of its own London borough, and the council offices, Hounslow House, are on Bath Road. The High Street, with the Treaty Centre shopping mall opened in 1987, is the heart of the town.

On the Great West Road, the art-deco Gillette building with its clock tower is a landmark for visitors to the offices along the A4, and Orbital Park houses the UK head office of DHL Air. Homes lie in the streets around the High Street and out towards Hounslow Heath. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If you would rather finish by train, Hounslow East, Central and West are Piccadilly line stations, and Hounslow station has South Western Railway services.

From Hounslow Back to London City Airport

Allow the full 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours for the drive back; the route runs east through central London, so the hour of departure matters more than the mileage. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Twickenham's Allianz Stadium is close to the town, and in 2027 England play their Six Nations home matches there on 14 February, 20 February and 13 March. Should your departure coincide with a match, set the pick-up for a time well away from kick-off and the end of the game.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Hounslow from London City Airport?

20 miles by road, normally 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours. The car goes from the docklands in the east right across the capital to its western side, next to Heathrow.

My mother's flight from Guernsey may be delayed by fog. What then?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a delay is followed. If the airline moves the flight to another day, ask support to change the booking.

Where should my relatives go to find the car at London City?

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.

Is Hounslow part of London?

Yes. Hounslow has been in Greater London since 1965, when the old county of Middlesex was abolished, and it gives its name to the borough. From London City Airport the drive is 20 miles, across the whole capital.

Twelve relatives are coming for a family birthday. What should we book?

One van is enough if all twelve travel together: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. If they come on different flights, book one transfer per flight in the same account.

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

The government lifted London City's yearly limit to 9 million passengers in August 2024 but kept the Saturday afternoon closure. In Twickenham, near Hounslow, England's 2027 Six Nations home fixtures are set for 14 February, 20 February and 13 March.
