One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a new block beside Lewisham station, the airport to University Hospital Lewisham, or a house near the market to London City for a Monday business trip. On arrival, 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: London City to a flat by Lewisham station on Sunday evening with the ride out for a Thursday flight, or the terminal to a hotel near the hospital for a family visit and out again at the end of it. 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 Lewisham: Route and Drive Time

Lewisham, the main town of its borough, lies south-west of the airport and across the Thames. The ride covers 7 miles, normally 30–40 minutes: the car crosses the river and then heads south to a town centre built around the meeting point of the A20 and the A21.

Where you stop inside Lewisham changes the last few minutes. At the centre stand the market, the station and the shopping centre; University Hospital Lewisham is a little south, on Lewisham High Street; Catford, seat of the borough's council, comes next along that road. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City carried 3.74 million passengers in 2025 through one terminal. Pre-booked cars do not stop at the front of the building; their passengers find them in the Short Stay car park.

Once your plane is in the air, 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.

Both the airport and Lewisham have DLR stations, but they sit on different branches of the network, so the train means a change on the way. If you are carrying a suitcase as well as a laptop bag, the car saves that change.

Arriving at Your Address in Lewisham

Lewisham station is an interchange: the DLR line from Canary Wharf terminates here, alongside Southeastern trains into the City and the West End. If your flat is in one of the blocks around the station, add the block name and the entrance to the address.

The Lewisham Shopping Centre stays open in its present form for now. Its rebuilding was approved in October 2025, but work is not expected to start before 2027.

For a visit to a patient at University Hospital Lewisham, name the department or entrance. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

From Lewisham Back to London City Airport

Plan the departure by the length of the ride: 30–40 minutes on a quiet day, longer in the weekday morning rush on the roads leading to the river. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

If you work in Canary Wharf and fly abroad for a meeting straight from the office, the car can collect you there instead of at home; Canary Wharf is about 4 miles from the terminal, 20–30 minutes.

All flights leave from the same terminal at London City. On Saturdays the airport closes at 12:30, so a weekend departure from Lewisham means a morning flight that day or a Sunday one.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Lewisham from London City Airport?

7 miles by road, normally 30–40 minutes. The drive crosses the Thames and then runs south to the town centre.

Fog is delaying flights into London City. Will my car still be there?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car's timing follows the plane. Should the airline give you a new flight number, add it to the booking.

Where is the car waiting when I land at London City?

Inside the Short Stay car park, by London City's only terminal. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is the Lewisham Shopping Centre being rebuilt?

Yes, in time: the council gave consent in October 2025, but the developer does not expect building work to start until 2027 at the earliest. For now the centre is open, so give the entrance or the street you need in the booking.

Six of us are visiting the hospital with equipment cases. Which vehicle should we book?

A Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. List each case in the booking so the vehicle is matched to the load.

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

A drop-off charge has applied at the terminal since 6 January 2026: number-plate cameras log each car, the stay is limited to 10 minutes, and drivers pay through an online portal. Pick-ups are in the Short Stay car park. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.
