One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a house by Wandsworth Common, the airport to St George's Hospital in Tooting, or a flat near Wandsworth Town station to London City for a midday flight. When you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for your 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 riverside flat in Wandsworth for a week-long hospital course, with the return trip east once the course ends. Visiting clinicians can have both trips settled before they fly. 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 Wandsworth: Route and Drive Time

Wandsworth Town grew up where the River Wandle flows into the Thames, on the south side of the river in west London, whereas the airport lies far downstream on the opposite bank, by the Royal Docks. The trip between them is 13 miles, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, and it follows the river through the busiest part of the capital.

The A3 and the South Circular cross in Wandsworth, so the town is reached on main roads. Whether your address is in the new blocks by the Thames, on the streets around Wandsworth Common to the east or near the town centre decides the final turn. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Docks surround the airport: Royal Albert Dock on one side of the runway, King George V Dock on the other. On such a tight site everything is compact, with one terminal and a pick-up zone for booked cars inside Short Stay parking.

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 alternative to Wandsworth Town station means the DLR from the airport and then several changes to reach a South Western Railway train from Waterloo or Clapham Junction.

Arriving at Your Address in Wandsworth

Putney, Tooting, Balham and Battersea all share a borough with this town, which gave it its name. Near the river, Wandsworth Town station runs South Western Railway services towards Clapham Junction and on to Waterloo.

If your riverside block has a gated entrance or an underground car park, say which. Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a house by Wandsworth Common, the street and number are enough.

From Wandsworth Back to London City Airport

The drive east to the Royal Docks takes 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes on a normal day. Build the pick-up around that, with a margin in the weekday peaks. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Because London City runs just one terminal building, the reservation asks for nothing beyond where to collect you and when you fly. Fulham, just over Wandsworth Bridge, has two football grounds, Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge. If you are setting off when a home match is about to start or has just ended, the bridge approaches may be slow, so allow extra time.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What distance is Wandsworth from London City Airport by road?

13 miles by car, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. The route runs through central London, so rush hours add the most time.

What happens to my pick-up if my flight to London City is late?

It moves with the flight: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Enter your flight number when booking.

Where at London City Airport is the meeting point?

Look for Short Stay parking: the zone where booked cars collect passengers is there. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is St George's Hospital in Wandsworth?

It is in the London Borough of Wandsworth, but in Tooting, south of Wandsworth Town. In the booking, give the hospital entrance or department as the address.

A group of seven doctors is visiting St George's. How do we book?

For seven people with luggage, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. If they arrive on separate flights, each flight needs its own transfer.

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

A consultation opened in March 2026 on a shallower landing approach, which would let bigger Airbus A320neo jets use London City. 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.
