One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to the National Physical Laboratory, London City to a home off Broad Street, or riverside lodgings by the lock to the Royal Docks for an early flight to Luxembourg. For your arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the 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 lodgings close to the NPL campus for a week of joint work, then from Teddington to the Docks when Friday's departure comes round. For a visiting team, both legs are settled before anyone leaves home. 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 Teddington: Route and Drive Time

From the Royal Docks to Teddington the car covers almost the full width of London, from the east to the south-west: 21 miles, normally 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes. Teddington is a riverside suburb of Richmond upon Thames, set between the Thames and Bushy Park, so the ride ends on quiet residential roads rather than in a busy centre.

Which side of the suburb you are heading for shapes the last stretch. Broad Street and the High Street carry the main road through it, the laboratory campus sits on the edge of Bushy Park, and the newer homes on the old studios site are down by the lock. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

London City Airport to Teddington: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

With a single terminal, London City leaves no building to choose and no transfer between terminals to plan. 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.

Plan weekend arrivals with care: Saturday flying at the airport ends at 12:30, after the government turned down a request for Saturday afternoon flying. A Teddington weekend that begins on a Saturday therefore starts with a morning landing, or moves to Sunday.

Arriving at Your Address in Teddington

For a visiting scientist, the address is likely to be one of the institutes on the edge of Bushy Park: the National Physical Laboratory, which began at Bushy House in 1902, or its neighbour LGC. Name the institute and the gate in the booking, as a campus entrance and a postal address are not always the same place.

Homes are spread from the river up to the park. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. A house near Teddington Lock, where the tidal Thames ends, is reached by road and not along the towpath, so the street name counts for more than the view.

From Teddington Back to London City Airport

Work out the start from the drive itself, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes, and keep a margin for the weekday rush across the capital. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Every departure at the Docks uses the same single building, so your flight time and the Teddington address are enough for the booking. Rugby is the local factor: on England match days at Allianz Stadium in neighbouring Twickenham, set off earlier, as the roads around the ground carry heavy traffic. The 2027 home games fall on 14 February, 20 February and 13 March.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Teddington by car from London City Airport: what timing is realistic?

Normally 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes for the 21 miles, since the route runs from the east of London to its south-western edge. Weekday rush hours make the longer figure more likely.

My flight from Luxembourg is running two hours late. Will the chauffeur know?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a delay needs nothing from you; tell support only if you are put on a different flight.

Where will the car be when I leave the terminal?

At London City Airport, pre-booked cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park. The kerb outside the doors is not used for collections. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which railway station serves Teddington?

Teddington station, on the Kingston Loop, with South Western Railway trains to Waterloo by way of Kingston or Richmond. If a colleague follows by train, add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.

Can a van take our measuring equipment as well as the team?

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

The terminal is due to gain a premium lounge, operated by Aspire, in early 2027. Near Teddington, England meet France, Italy and Scotland at Allianz Stadium on 14 February, 20 February and 13 March 2027.
