London City Airport to Redhill: Route and Drive Time
Redhill is a Surrey town just south of the M25, where the M23 joins it at Junction 8; London City is a long way round, out in the Royal Docks beyond the City. From the terminal, the car crosses the Thames and either works through south London or swings round on the motorway. The distance to Redhill is 28 miles, normally 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours, the longest stretch being the urban miles before the open road.
The town shares a borough council with Reigate, its neighbour to the west. Where the ride finishes depends on the part of Redhill you name: the centre around the station, the estates to the south towards the hospital, or the lanes east of the town near the small aerodrome. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport
All flights at London City use the same terminal. Booked chauffeurs are barred from the front doors and do their collections in Short Stay, the closest 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.
The DLR platform under the terminal gets you to Canning Town within 7 minutes, with a train every 8–15 minutes, yet Redhill services start from Victoria and London Bridge. Travelling by rail therefore means two or three changes across London; with luggage, one ride from the car park to your Redhill address is simpler.
Arriving at Your Address in Redhill
Redhill station is a rail junction, with lines towards London, south to Gatwick and east towards Tonbridge, and the town centre gathers around it. East Surrey Hospital stands on the southern side of the town; Redhill Aerodrome, a small airfield, is to the south-east.
Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If you are staying in Reigate rather than Redhill, say so: the two towns share a council but have separate centres, and the address takes the chauffeur to the right one.
If your journey ends at the hospital, add the department or entrance to the booking, which tells the chauffeur where to stop.
From Redhill Back to London City Airport
For the drive to the Docks, think in terms of length rather than clock time: 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours on an ordinary day, and more if the M25 or the south London roads are slow. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Because London City has just one terminal building, the booking asks for nothing more than the address and when you fly. For an early departure from the Docks, the margin matters most, because the slower part of the drive is at the London end.
Royal Ascot week, from 15 to 19 June 2027, and Derby weekend at Epsom in early June add traffic on the Surrey roads. A flight in those weeks deserves a little extra time.
