One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: London City to a hotel by Peckham Rye station, the airport to a workspace at Peckham Levels, or a house off Bellenden Road to the terminal for an early flight. On an arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the flight 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: the London City terminal to a flat near Peckham Rye on the day you land, and the ride to the docks again for the flight home. For a short working trip, a Monday arrival and a Thursday departure fit into the same booking. 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 Peckham: Route and Drive Time

The airport is north of the Thames, among the Royal Docks, while Peckham is on the southern side, so every route between the two has to get under or over the river first. The drive to Peckham is 8 miles, normally 40–55 minutes. It looks short on the map, yet most of it runs through the streets of south-east London rather than on a fast road.

Where the ride ends inside the district shapes the last few minutes. Rye Lane is the main spine, with Peckham Rye station halfway along it and the common of the same name beyond its southern end. Queens Road Peckham lies to the east, and Bellenden Road, with its cafés and small shops, runs west of Rye Lane. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

There is just one terminal at London City, so nobody has to choose a building. A car ordered ahead of time is not allowed at the entrance; you find it in the airport's Short Stay parking, in the zone kept for pre-booked collections.

When your plane 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, Peckham means three trains from here: the DLR from the terminal to Canning Town, the Jubilee line to Canada Water, then the Windrush line of the Overground to Queens Road Peckham or Peckham Rye. With a suitcase, one car ride replaces all three changes.

Arriving at Your Address in Peckham

Peckham Library, clad in green copper and raised on columns above Peckham Square, won the Stirling Prize for architecture in 2000. South of it, Peckham Levels fills the upper floors of an old multi-storey car park with studios, small workshops and places to eat.

Southwark's building site in front of Peckham Rye station is turning into a new square; until it is done, walkers cannot use the old arcade between Rye Lane and the trains. For a flat above a shop on Rye Lane or an address beside the station, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.

Houses around Peckham Rye common and on the streets off Bellenden Road are residential roads; there the house number and the street name are what the chauffeur needs.

From Peckham Back to London City Airport

Going back, plan around a drive of 40–55 minutes, and add some slack for the river crossing if you set off in the weekday evening peak. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

With a single terminal at the airport, nothing more than your address and departure time is needed in the booking.

If you leave from an address next to Peckham Rye station while the new square is still being built, name the nearest side street in the booking. That gives the chauffeur a clear point to stop away from the works.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the usual drive time to Peckham from London City Airport?

Peckham is 8 miles from the terminal, normally 40–55 minutes by car. The route has to cross the Thames, so allow a little more in the weekday evening peak, and give the flat number if you are staying on Rye Lane.

My plane is circling before it can land at London City. Will the chauffeur leave?

No. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a holding pattern or a late take-off simply moves the pick-up later. If the airline changes your flight number, pass the new one to support.

Is there a set place at London City where the car collects me?

Not at the terminal doors. Your chauffeur is parked in the Short Stay area, where the airport sends every pre-booked car. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Does Peckham have an Underground station?

No. Peckham Rye and Queens Road Peckham are on the London Overground, and Peckham Rye also has Southern, Southeastern and Thameslink trains. From London City Airport the rail journey needs the DLR, the Jubilee line and the Windrush line, while the car takes you straight to the door you name.

An architecture class of 30 is flying in to see Peckham. What should we book?

For a class that lands together, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Any student on a separate flight has a transfer booked for that flight, and when you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation.

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

Aspire is due to run a new premium lounge at London City from early 2027. In Peckham, Southwark's works on the square at Peckham Rye station were planned to finish in autumn 2026, and the arcade walk to the trains reopens only after that.
