One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to BP's business campus, London City to a family home near Kempton Park station, or a riverside house in the old village to the Royal Docks for a Monday flight. For arrivals, 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 a hotel near the BP campus for a week of meetings, and Sunbury-on-Thames back to the terminal once the week's meetings are over. The visitor's plan is then complete before arrival. 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 Sunbury-on-Thames: Route and Drive Time

Sunbury-on-Thames belongs to Spelthorne, a Surrey borough just past the south-western boundary of Greater London. From the Royal Docks it is 24 miles, normally 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, a drive that crosses the capital before it reaches the point where the M3 begins, at its first junction beside the town.

The final part splits three ways: the BP business campus, the riverside streets of the old village, and the homes around Kempton Park racecourse. Say which one in the booking. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

London City counted 3.74 million passengers in 2025 and handles them in one terminal building in the Royal Docks. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay 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.

For colleagues coming to Sunbury from Germany, Air Dolomiti flies into London City from Frankfurt. Whatever the airline, everyone leaving the building walks to the same car park, so the meeting point never changes.

Arriving at Your Address in Sunbury-on-Thames

If your meeting is at BP's business campus, write the campus name and the entrance in the booking; reception and the visitor car park may not share a street address. Families and racegoers head instead for the residential roads near Sunbury and Kempton Park stations, both on the Shepperton branch, or for the riverside of the old village.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If you stay in an airport hotel and visit Sunbury the next morning, enter the hotel as the drop-off and book the short ride on to the campus as its own journey.

From Sunbury-on-Thames Back to London City Airport

On the way back, allow for the drive itself, 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, and for the London rush hours for a weekday morning departure. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

If you leave during Kempton Park's Christmas Festival, on 26 and 27 December 2026, allow for race traffic near the course on the edge of town. Weekend travellers should also keep in mind that London City ends its flying at 12:30 on Saturdays, which makes a Saturday return a morning affair.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Sunbury-on-Thames from London City Airport?

24 miles by road, normally 1 hour 35 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes. The drive crosses London from east to west and ends just outside its boundary, in Surrey.

My Frankfurt flight is late. Should I phone anyone?

Not for a delay: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Only a change of flight matters; in that case, send support the new flight number.

Will my car be at the kerb when I come out of the terminal?

No. At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Do London's road charges apply on the way to Sunbury-on-Thames?

Sunbury-on-Thames is in Surrey, outside the London boroughs, but the route crosses London first. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough around the clock. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

A delegation of 15 is coming to the BP campus. What should we book?

A Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. 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?

At London City security the 100 ml limit for liquids was still in force in August 2026, so pack hand luggage accordingly. In Sunbury, Boxing Day 2026 brings the King George VI Chase, the highlight of Kempton's two-day Christmas meeting.
