One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to an office near Wimbledon station, the airport to a hotel close to the Common, or the New Wimbledon Theatre to London City for an evening flight. When you arrive, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; when you leave, 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 rented house in Wimbledon Village before the first day of play, then east to the airport once the finals are over. During the tournament, cars in SW19 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 Wimbledon: Route and Drive Time

Wimbledon is in Merton, in the south-west of the capital, and London City Airport is in the east, in the Royal Docks. The two are 16 miles apart by road, normally 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, since the car crosses the Thames and then half of south London.

Wimbledon has two levels. The town centre, with the station and the Broadway, lies at the bottom of the hill; Wimbledon Village and the open heath of Wimbledon Common are at the top, to the west. The All England Club is apart from both, on Church Road beside Wimbledon Park. Tell us which of these you are heading for, as each has its own approach. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

The government caps London City at 111,000 flights a year, and from Monday to Friday it may add three movements during the opening 30 minutes of operations. Those early weekday arrivals suit a morning meeting in SW19, and the pick-up is planned around them like any other flight.

The airport has one terminal, and cars ordered in advance do their collections within Short Stay parking, not outside the doors. 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 Wimbledon

Wimbledon station is served by Tube trains on the District line, by trams, and by both South Western Railway and Thameslink. Close by on the Broadway is the New Wimbledon Theatre. AFC Wimbledon play their home games at Plough Lane.

While the tennis is on, the streets near the All England Club get congested and some are closed or restricted for a time. For a house in the Village or near Church Road at that time, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go. Outside the tournament, a hotel or an office address in the town centre is all the booking needs.

From Wimbledon Back to London City Airport

For the drive to the Royal Docks, count on 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes; the weekday morning rush can push it to the upper end. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

All departures go from the one terminal, which leaves just your address and flight for the booking. During the Championships, from 28 June to 11 July 2027, slow traffic around the grounds can delay a start from the Village; on match days at Plough Lane, the streets near the stadium are busier too. Leave earlier on those days.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Wimbledon from London City Airport?

It is 16 miles by road, normally 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. The car crosses east, central and south-west London, so traffic decides more than the distance.

Tailwinds could bring my London City flight in before schedule. Is that a problem?

No, landing ahead of schedule changes nothing for you, because the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Enter the flight number when booking.

Do I meet the chauffeur at the terminal kerb at London City?

Not at the kerb. Booked cars use a collection zone within Short Stay parking. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is the All England Club in the centre of Wimbledon?

No. It is on Church Road, next to Wimbledon Park, away from the town centre and the station. During the Championships, give the full address in the booking, since roads near the grounds are restricted.

We are a hospitality group of 15 for the tennis. What do you suggest?

Fifteen people with luggage need more than one van: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early in the tennis fortnight.

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

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. The 2027 Wimbledon Championships run from 28 June to 11 July.
