One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Royal Docks arrivals to an East Wickham house, the terminal straight to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for a first shift, or a Welling High Street flat to the airport for a Monday flight to Frankfurt. When 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: the Royal Docks to a Welling semi near Danson Park after a long weekend in Dublin, then the same terminal again when the next trip starts. Before Christmas, when relatives come and go, local cars are reserved early. 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 Welling: Route and Drive Time

From the docks, Welling sits a short way south-east, beyond the Thames, inside Bexley borough. The drive is 6 miles, normally 35–50 minutes. For such a short distance that is a generous time, because the route has to cross the river and then climb through Woolwich and past Shooters Hill to the A207.

The A207 follows the old Roman road towards Kent and runs straight through the town as the High Street. Which side of it you live on decides the last turns: East Wickham and the station are to the north, Danson Park and its lake on the south-eastern edge. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

One terminal handles every London City flight. Chauffeurs collecting Welling passengers stand in the Short Stay car park, never at the doors.

From the moment you land, 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.

Rail is clumsy here: the DLR gets to Woolwich Arsenal in under 7 minutes, yet Welling station lies on the Bexleyheath line via Lewisham and Eltham, not on the Woolwich line. With luggage, that means more changes than the car.

Arriving at Your Address in Welling

Welling is a residential town in south-east London. Its shops line the High Street, and the houses spread out on both sides: towards Falconwood in the west, East Wickham in the north and the edge of Danson Park in the south-east.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a flat above a High Street shop, mention the entrance if it is round the back, as the shop fronts face a busy road.

Nurses or doctors starting at Queen Elizabeth Hospital: Stadium Road is roughly 4 miles beyond Welling High Street, 20–30 minutes; give the hospital address rather than your lodging if you go straight to a shift.

From Welling Back to London City Airport

Plan the return by its length: 35–50 minutes on a quiet day; in the weekday rush, the approach roads to the Thames crossings slow everything down. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Because London City is a one-terminal airport, Welling bookings carry only the flight time. Departures stop early on Saturdays, as the airport closes at 12:30 that day.

On match days at Park View Road, the home of Welling United, the streets near the ground are busier before kick-off and after the final whistle. An evening fixture in midweek is worth checking before you set the pick-up time.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Welling from London City Airport?

6 miles by road, normally 35–50 minutes by car. The time comes from crossing the Thames and the busy roads through Woolwich, not from the distance.

My airline rebooked me onto a later London City arrival. Who needs to know?

Message support with the replacement flight number. For the original flight, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, but a different flight needs updating in the booking.

Will my Welling chauffeur stand inside the terminal building?

No: Welling passengers walk out of the single terminal to the Short Stay car park, where pre-booked cars load. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which borough is Welling in?

The London Borough of Bexley. Until 1965 Welling belonged to Kent; the new borough of Bexley then brought it into Greater London. Its station is on the Southeastern line through Eltham and Lewisham.

Our family of ten is coming to Welling for a christening. Which vehicle suits us?

Ten relatives on one plane share a single Sprinter van; its limit is 12 travellers plus luggage. Relatives on separate planes get one booking per arrival; one person can keep all the bookings in a single account.

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

From 2 March 2026 residents and airlines were asked for views on a gentler glide path for bigger A320neo aircraft at the Royal Docks. 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.
