One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: London City to a cottage in Otford, the airport to a boarding house at Sevenoaks School, or a house near Sevenoaks station to the terminal for a Monday business flight. On arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the journey 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 guest house close to Knole on a Thursday, then out to the airport again on Saturday morning before the airport closes at 12:30. For a heritage tour of two or three nights, both dates are reserved together. 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 Sevenoaks: Route and Drive Time

Sevenoaks, a west Kent town beyond the capital's boundary and the M25 ring, is 27 miles from the terminal, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. The first half of the ride is spent crossing the river and the suburbs of south-east London; the second runs on motorway and on the roads of the North Downs.

Where you stay decides the last part. The station lies west of the High Street, Knole Park opens directly off the south-eastern edge of the centre, and villages such as Seal, Otford and Kemsing lie to the north and east, each with its own lanes. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

London City Airport to Sevenoaks: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

For Sevenoaks, Gatwick is the quicker drive, so London City suits travellers whose airline flies there from a European business city. Its one terminal keeps arrival simple, and the chauffeur meets you in Short Stay parking, as the terminal road is closed to pre-booked pick-ups.

Once you are on your 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.

The rail option takes three steps: the DLR from the terminal towards Bank, a change to Southeastern trains at Cannon Street or London Bridge, and the train out to Sevenoaks. The car covers the same trip in one go.

Arriving at Your Address in Sevenoaks

Knole, one of the largest houses in England and now in the care of the National Trust, stands in a deer park that begins at the edge of the town centre. Sevenoaks School, an independent boarding and day school, is on the High Street close to the park gates.

For a house beside Knole Park, a cottage in Seal or an address on a private road, give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. Where houses carry names instead of numbers, write the name in.

Chartwell, Winston Churchill's family home, lies towards Westerham, and Ightham Mote, a moated manor house, to the east; both belong to the National Trust and can be visited from a base in the town.

From Sevenoaks Back to London City Airport

Count on 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes for the drive, and add a margin for the M25 if you travel at the start or the end of the working day. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

If you are flying out on a Saturday, choose a morning flight: London City closes at 12:30 on Saturdays. On weekdays, a short European flight with an early start means an early pick-up from Sevenoaks too.

If your departure falls on the first or last day of a school term in the town, build in some extra time.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

London City Airport to Sevenoaks: how long is the ride?

Sevenoaks is 27 miles from the terminal, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. For a village address around the town, add the house name to the booking.

The airline moves me to the next morning's flight into London City. What do I do?

Send support the new flight number and date. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car is moved to the flight you are now on.

Which exit at London City leads to the pre-booked cars?

There is only one way out of the single terminal, and chauffeur cars are found in Short Stay parking beside it. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Sevenoaks part of London?

No. Sevenoaks is in Kent, the main town of Sevenoaks District, and lies outside Greater London, just beyond the M25. The nearest London borough is Bromley, with Orpington as its closest town to the north.

A history society of 20 is touring the houses near Sevenoaks. How do we travel from London City?

Those on one flight go by coach: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Each member on another flight is booked separately, and when you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation.
