One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a house off the A232, the airport to a family home near Hayes station, or a cul-de-sac by Spring Park to the airport for a Sunday departure. When the flight comes in, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the journey out, 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 your daughter's house near the Common for two weeks with the grandchildren, and from her door to the terminal on the day you fly home. Over Christmas, both journeys are best reserved together. 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 Wickham: Route and Drive Time

West Wickham, a quiet Bromley suburb, sits on the A232 road that links Croydon with Orpington. From the Royal Docks the trip is 14 miles, normally 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, crossing the Thames and then running south through Lewisham and Bromley.

The end of the drive depends on your side of the suburb. The High Street and West Wickham station are in the middle; Hayes, whose station ends the line, lies to the east; southwards, housing ends where the Common and the Spring Park woodland begin. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

All London City flights use one building on the dockside. The forecourt is not used for pre-booked pick-ups; pick-ups for West Wickham happen in the Short Stay car park.

When collecting an older relative, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so nobody has to watch the arrivals board. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

If the traveller needs assistance through the airport, arrange it with the airline in advance; the car is then planned around the landing time.

Arriving at Your Address in West Wickham

Until 1965 the suburb was a parish of Kent; today its streets are lined with family houses. The City of London Corporation manages West Wickham Common and Spring Park, so guests who like the outdoors can walk into the woods from the doorstep.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a house on a cul-de-sac or a road off the Common, add the house number; if someone in the party uses a wheelchair or walking frame, note it so the vehicle is right for the load.

From West Wickham Back to London City Airport

Heading home, reckon with the length of the journey, 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes in normal conditions, with more needed when the roads through Bromley and Lewisham fill in the rush hours. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

At the Royal Docks every flight uses the same building, so your address and departure time are what count. If a whole family is flying back together after Christmas, book the return early.

For a weekend departure, note that London City shuts at 12:30 on Saturdays.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the usual journey time from London City Airport to West Wickham?

Normally 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes for the 14 miles, crossing the Thames and running south through Bromley. Weekday rush hours add the most time.

My parents' plane into London City is running late. Is their car still coming?

It is. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a delay simply moves the pick-up later. Enter your parents' flight number and the chauffeur follows that arrival.

Where do my relatives go after landing at London City?

Your relatives cross over to the Short Stay car park, where London City has its pick-up area for booked cars. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Who looks after West Wickham Common?

The City of London Corporation, which manages it as an open space together with nearby Spring Park. Both are woodland on the southern edge of the suburb, close to the A232.

Ten relatives are flying in for a family party. One van or several cars?

If all ten land on one flight and stay at one house, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Relatives on other flights each get a transfer of their own.

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

Security at London City was still enforcing the 100 ml rule for liquids in August 2026, so pack hand luggage with that in mind. Close to West Wickham, Bromley's Churchill Theatre runs its pantomime from 5 December 2026 to 3 January 2027.
