One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a terraced house off Green Lanes, the airport to a flat near Palmers Green station, or a home by Broomfield Park to London City for a Sunday flight. When you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the trip out, 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 home near Broomfield Park when relatives arrive, and the ride out to the docks again when they fly home a week later. Around Christmas and Easter, cars in north London are reserved 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 Palmers Green: Route and Drive Time

The airport lies in the Royal Docks, on the eastern side of London, while Palmers Green is in the north of the capital, in the London Borough of Enfield. The ride from the terminal to Palmers Green is 16 miles, normally 40–55 minutes. Most of it is a drive north and west across east London to the North Circular Road, which passes just south of the district.

The final stretch depends on which side of Green Lanes, the A105, your house stands. Homes near Broomfield Park are on the western side, and streets towards Winchmore Hill lie further north, so the exact road decides the last few turns. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City has one terminal, so there is no terminal to choose and no long walk between buildings. Pre-booked cars are collected from a pick-up area inside the Short Stay car park rather than at the terminal kerb.

On the day you fly in, 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.

Rail is possible but slow with suitcases. The DLR station at the terminal reaches Stratford International in 17 minutes, while the Great Northern line from Moorgate serves Palmers Green station, so the train trip means changing between two separate networks.

Arriving at Your Address in Palmers Green

Palmers Green is a residential suburb that grew up along Green Lanes, with shops and restaurants on the main road and quieter terraced streets on either side. Its Greek Cypriot community is among the largest in London, and the lakes and walled gardens of Broomfield Park mark the western edge.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. A side street off Green Lanes, a flat above a shop on the main road and a house facing the park are three different approaches, so the house number and postcode both matter.

If you are staying with relatives, put the family name shown on the door in the notes, which helps the chauffeur pick the right entrance.

From Palmers Green Back to London City Airport

For the trip back, think in drive length: 40–55 minutes on a normal day, and more if the North Circular is congested. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

There is only one departure terminal at London City, so the car takes you to the same building where you landed. The airport closes at 12:30 on Saturdays, which means a weekend departure is either a Saturday morning flight or a Sunday one.

If your flight is on a weekday morning, the school run may slow Green Lanes before nine, so a slightly earlier pick-up keeps the first part of the ride calm.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How long is the drive from London City Airport to Palmers Green?

Palmers Green is 16 miles from the terminal, normally 40–55 minutes by car, across east London to the North Circular and then up Green Lanes. Rush hours can add to that.

Should I rebook if my London City flight is delayed?

There is no need. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a later arrival simply moves the pick-up. If the airline moves you to a different flight, send the new number to support.

At London City, where do I find the chauffeur?

The airport has a single terminal, and pre-booked cars use the pick-up area in its Short Stay car park. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which railway station serves Palmers Green?

Palmers Green station, served by Great Northern trains that run from Hertford North to Moorgate, giving a direct link into the City. If you are collected from the station, add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.

Can a van take a whole family with luggage to Palmers Green?

Yes: 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. Child seats are requested in the booking form: choose a booster or an infant and child safety seat and the number you need.

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

London City marks 40 years of flights in 2027, and a new premium lounge run by Aspire is planned to open there by early 2027. The airport still closes at 12:30 on Saturdays, after the government refused its request for Saturday afternoon flights in August 2024.
