One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Royal Docks arrivals to a lab block on Kent Science Park, the terminal to a new-build home off the A2, or a Sittingbourne station hotel to the airport for a late Zurich departure. When your flight comes in, 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 Kent Science Park on Monday morning for a week of tests in the lab, and from the park back to the docks on Friday afternoon. If the project dates are fixed, put the return flight in now. 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 Sittingbourne: Route and Drive Time

Swale's biggest town, Sittingbourne, sits in north Kent east of Gillingham, on the road towards Faversham. The drive from the terminal is 42 miles, normally 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. Most of it is motorway: after the river crossing and the A2 through south-east London, the car runs along the M2 past the Medway towns, leaving it at junction 5, just south-west of the town.

From the junction, Kent Science Park is reached before the town centre, which suits a visitor going straight to a meeting. The A2 runs through the town itself, with the station close to the High Street. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

A single terminal served all 3.74 million London City passengers of 2025. Chauffeurs heading for Sittingbourne collect from Short Stay parking; the terminal entrance is off limits to them.

From your flight number, 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.

For a scientist or engineer arriving on a morning flight from Basel, Rotterdam or Frankfurt, that means a meeting at the science park can be booked for the same day, as long as the drive time is counted in.

Arriving at Your Address in Sittingbourne

From the town centre, the science park is about 2 miles south, a 10–15 minute ride. Spread over 65 acres, the site counts 47 buildings of labs, offices and shared desks, so a street address alone will not find your door.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. On the science park, add the building name or number and the company; in the town, the house number and postcode will do.

If you are staying in a hotel in the town and working at the park, the first drop-off can be the park, with the bags in the car until the evening, when a separate booking takes you to the hotel.

From Sittingbourne Back to London City Airport

Sittingbourne to the Royal Docks is 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes when the M2 flows. Commuter traffic heading for London builds up on weekday mornings, so set an early pick-up for a morning flight. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

With just one terminal, the departure needs no more detail than your flight.

For a visit that ends at the science park, give the building as the pick-up address. Note that London City closes at 12:30 on Saturdays, so a team leaving at the weekend has to fly on Saturday morning or on Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

London City Airport to Sittingbourne: what drive time should I plan?

About 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes for 42 miles, mostly on the M2. Weekday mornings are the slowest.

Ten o'clock meeting at the science park, but my plane is behind schedule. And the car?

The car waits for the new time: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Let your hosts at the park know about the delay; the transfer itself needs no change.

Is there a forecourt pick-up for my Sittingbourne car?

No. Swale-bound transfers begin in Short Stay parking beside the terminal. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Sittingbourne on the M2?

Junction 5 of the M2 lies just south-west of the town, and the A2 runs through it. Kent Science Park is about 2 miles south of the centre, 10–15 minutes by car.

Our team of nine brings sample cases and laptops. One van?

Yes, nine people fit a Sprinter van, which takes up to 12 with bags. 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.

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

Publishers fill ExCeL for the London Book Fair on 16–18 March 2027, and defence exhibitors arrive for DSEI on 7–10 September 2027; both weeks put extra traffic on the dock roads. Visitors who do not need a visa for the UK, other than British and Irish citizens, must hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before they travel.
