One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to Rose Bruford College for an open day, the airport to a house near Sidcup station, or a hotel by the A20 to London City for a Monday flight. After you land, 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 Lamorbey Park on the morning of an audition and back to the terminal for the evening flight, or the airport to a relative's home near Queen Mary's Hospital and out again at the end of the visit. 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 Sidcup: Route and Drive Time

Sidcup, one of the towns of Bexley borough, lies south-east of the Royal Docks near the Kent border. From the terminal it is 11 miles, normally 35–50 minutes. Once over the river, the car leaves the inner suburbs behind and reaches Sidcup through the residential streets of the borough.

The A20 Sidcup Bypass carries through traffic past the town, so the final minutes depend on whether your address is north or south of it. Queen Mary's Hospital is on Frognal Avenue; the drama school Rose Bruford College is set in Lamorbey Park; shops and the station form the centre. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

London City Airport to Sidcup: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City has no second terminal. Cars booked ahead are based in the Short Stay car park, and that is where the confirmation sends you.

From take-off to touchdown, 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 train, the route to Sidcup is long-winded: The DLR gets you to Woolwich Arsenal in less than 7 minutes, yet Sidcup's own station sits on another line entirely, so more changes follow. After an early flight, the car is the direct way.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Arriving at Your Address in Sidcup

If you are flying in for an audition or an open day at Rose Bruford College, the drama school in Lamorbey Park, name the college building rather than just the park in the booking.

For Queen Mary's Hospital on Frognal Avenue, the booking should name your department or clinic entrance. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

From Sidcup station, Southeastern trains run into central London. If you have a show to see in the West End later, the train from there is one option; a second car booking is another.

From Sidcup Back to London City Airport

Going back, think in minutes on the road: 35–50 minutes on a calm day, extra when weekday traffic queues for the river. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

London City works from one terminal, so all you need to give is the flight. Flights stop early on Saturdays: the airport closes at 12:30, so a Saturday departure from Sidcup means an early start.

If you are leaving straight after a hospital appointment, ask for the pick-up at the same entrance you were dropped at, and allow time for the appointment to run over.
