Airport Transfers from London City Airport (LCY) to West Malling

One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: London City to a hotel at Kings Hill, the airport to a house on West Malling High Street, or an office on the business park to the terminal for a Friday flight. For an arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the return flight, 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 London City terminal to an office at Kings Hill on Monday morning, and the ride to the terminal once Thursday's final meeting ends. For an audit week, the return is reserved from day one. 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 Malling: Route and Drive Time

Set west of Maidstone, in Tonbridge and Malling borough, the market town of West Malling is 30 miles from the terminal, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Once across the river, your chauffeur heads out of London to the south-east for the M20, which passes close to the town at Junction 4.

A booking for West Malling can mean one of two places. The old town has its High Street, its station and the Norman St Leonard's Tower on the western side; Kings Hill, the business park and new settlement on the old RAF airfield, lies to the south. Say which one you need, and for Kings Hill the company and building. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

West Malling is nearer London City than any other airport in miles, while Gatwick is a few minutes quicker by road. For a meeting at Kings Hill after an early flight from Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Zurich, London City is the natural choice: a small airport with one terminal, where 3.74 million passengers passed through in 2025.

Pre-booked chauffeurs are not allowed to collect at the terminal front; their zone is in Short Stay parking. On the day, 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.

Arriving at Your Address in West Malling

The High Street of West Malling is lined with old houses, shops and restaurants. Malling Abbey, home of a community of Benedictine nuns, is close to the centre, and the station, with trains to London Victoria, is on the eastern side of the town.

Kings Hill has its own shops, homes and a large office park, so the street name alone may not lead to the right door. Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. Add the company name and the building number.

Offham, Ryarsh and Leybourne are villages around the town; for a cottage there, the house name helps the chauffeur find it.

From West Malling Back to London City Airport

Plan on 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes from the town or Kings Hill to the terminal, and more if your drive meets the M20 and M25 in the rush hours. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

For an afternoon flight after a day of meetings at Kings Hill, the end of the last meeting decides the pick-up. Book the car for a time you can keep, not for the moment the agenda says you finish.

London City shuts at 12:30 on Saturdays, so a weekend trip home from West Malling needs a Saturday-morning or Sunday flight.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

West Malling is how far by car from London City Airport?

West Malling is 30 miles from the terminal, normally 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Kings Hill is just south of the town; give the company and building there.

My delayed flight lands at London City on a Sunday evening. Is the transfer still on?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, on any day of the week. Keep the flight number in the booking, and if the airline changes it, tell support.

At London City, do I meet the driver at the terminal kerb?

No. Chauffeur pick-ups take place in Short Stay parking, away from the kerb of the one terminal. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Kings Hill part of West Malling?

Kings Hill is its own settlement and business park, laid out where the RAF West Malling airfield used to be, just south of the town, in the same borough of Tonbridge and Malling. For a booking, name Kings Hill and the building rather than only the town.

Eight colleagues are flying in for an audit at Kings Hill. Can one vehicle take them?

Yes, if they share a flight: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Anyone on a different flight is booked for that flight, in the same account.

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

Bigger Airbus A320neo jets could start using London City if a new approach path is approved; the consultation on it opened on 2 March 2026. For racegoers based in West Malling, the 2027 Oaks is on 4 June and the Derby on 5 June at Epsom.
