One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to an office at Stockley Park, the airport to Drayton Hall for a board meeting, or a house in Yiewsley to London City for the Frankfurt flight. For an arrival, 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 Frankfurt arrival in the Docks to a hotel by the M4 spur on Sunday evening, then from Stockley Park back to London City at the end of the project week. For a visit planned around fixed meetings, both legs can be in place before you 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 West Drayton: Route and Drive Time

From London City Airport, West Drayton is 25 miles by road, normally 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes: the whole width of Greater London, from the Royal Docks to the borough of Hillingdon on its western edge. The town is a neighbour of Heathrow, 3 miles and 15–20 minutes from its terminals, so this route is for travellers whose flight has brought them to the Docks instead.

The car leaves central London to the west and comes to West Drayton by the M4, whose Junction 4, the Heathrow spur, lies just south-east of the town. The A408 Stockley Road then leads north to Stockley Park, while Old West Drayton and Yiewsley lie on either side of the railway. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

For a visitor from Germany, the choice of airport can come down to the airline: Air Dolomiti flies to London City from Frankfurt. If your company books that flight for a project at Stockley Park, the car meets you in the Docks and drives you the rest of the way west.

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. As London City has a single terminal, your flight number tells the chauffeur everything.

Arriving at Your Address in West Drayton

West Drayton lies on the western rim of Greater London, in Hillingdon borough; its name goes back to Draitone in the Domesday Book. In the old village, St Martin's is a mostly 15th-century church, and Drayton Hall, built in the 17th century, is now an office address.

The A408 Stockley Road runs north from the town to Stockley Park, a business park roughly a mile from the centre, 10–15 minutes away. For a building there, or for a unit on the Stockley Close estate, give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. Colleagues who come by train can be met at West Drayton station, on the Elizabeth line between Reading and Abbey Wood.

From West Drayton Back to London City Airport

For the return, count 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes, since the drive runs east across the full width of London. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

From a Stockley Park office, the route goes out on the A408 to the M4 and then into the city. If you set off in the weekday rush hours, both the M4 and the roads into the centre can slow the drive, so add a margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is West Drayton from London City Airport?

The car covers 25 miles, normally in 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes, from the Royal Docks right across to the western edge of the capital.

What if our Frankfurt flight lands an hour late?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car is there when you are. If the team is moved to a later flight, send support the new flight number.

Is the pick-up at London City in front 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.

Can a colleague arriving by Elizabeth line be collected at West Drayton?

Yes. The station, in fare zone 6, has Elizabeth line and Great Western Railway services. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.

We are bringing test equipment as well as luggage. Is that a problem?

Not if we know about it. 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. A team of more than twelve needs a second van or a coach.

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

Since 2 March 2026 London City has consulted on changing its approach angle so that larger A320neo jets can land. Its first Aspire lounge is planned for early 2027, when the airport also turns 40.
