One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a flat near Leyton Midland Road, the airport to the Lee Valley Ice Centre with a skate bag, or a house close to Brisbane Road to the Royal Docks for a Friday evening departure. After landing, 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 hotel by the Olympic Park on the eve of a skating competition and back to the terminal after the final day, or the airport to a family home off Francis Road and out again a week later. On Orient match weekends, reserve both legs 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 Leyton: Route and Drive Time

Leyton is the southernmost district of Waltham Forest borough, north of the Royal Docks, with Stratford and the Olympic Park in between. From the terminal it is 7 miles, normally 35–50 minutes. The distance is short, so the hour of the day matters more than the mileage.

Where you end up in E10 shapes the final stretch. Orient's Brisbane Road ground sits a few streets off the High Road, near Leyton station; the streets around Francis Road lie to the east; Lea Bridge Road leads west towards the marshes and the Lee Valley Ice Centre. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Every airline at London City shares one terminal, so all arriving passengers come out at the same place. Your car is parked up in the Short Stay area for the collection, rather than at the building's doors.

As soon as your flight is on its way, 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.

By rail, Leyton takes two steps from here: the DLR from the airport towards Stratford, then the Central line, on which Leyton is the stop after Stratford. With skates, kit bags or a pushchair, a car from the terminal saves both changes.

Arriving at Your Address in Leyton

Leyton's landmarks are close together. Leyton station, on the Central line, is a short walk from Brisbane Road. Leyton Midland Road, on the Overground's Suffragette line, serves the north of the district, and Lea Bridge station, reopened in 2016, is on the western side near the ice centre.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If you land on an Orient home match day and your flat is near the ground, a pick-up point one or two streets away can be easier for everyone.

For a skating session or a competition, the name of the Lee Valley Ice Centre is enough; for a house, give the street and number.

From Leyton Back to London City Airport

Allow 35–50 minutes for the drive to the Royal Docks on an ordinary day, with extra minutes for a weekday rush-hour start near Stratford. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

The booking needs no terminal number, only your address and the flight time, because every departure leaves from the same building.

Orient's home fixtures matter for the trip out too. If you leave from a street near Brisbane Road on an afternoon or evening when the club plays at home, choose a pick-up well before the crowds gather or after they have left.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Leyton from London City Airport?

Leyton is 7 miles by road, normally 35–50 minutes. The car passes Stratford on the way north, so give the street and house number, or the venue, when you book.

Our plane into London City has slipped by an hour. Should we phone ahead?

There is no need to phone about a delay: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. If you are rebooked onto a different flight, send the new flight number to support.

At London City, which spot do I head for after baggage reclaim?

Pre-booked collections at this airport are made from Short Stay parking, beside its only terminal. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which station is closest to Leyton Orient's ground?

Leyton, on the Central line, a short walk from Brisbane Road. Leyton Midland Road, on the Overground, is a little further north. By car, name the hotel or home address rather than the stadium.

A skating club of 15 is flying in for a competition. What do we book?

For skaters on the same flight, a coach fits the group: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Each parent on a different flight is given a separate booking. List skate bags with the luggage.

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

Early 2027 should bring a new premium lounge at London City, with Aspire running it. In Leyton and across England, the late summer bank holiday falls on Monday 30 August 2027, so book airport runs around that weekend in good time.
