One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the Milan arrival to a hotel below the castle walls, the terminal to Eton College for the start of term, or a family hotel near Legoland to the Docks for an evening flight on Friday. On arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the 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 Zurich arrival in the Docks to a guest house in Eton for a long weekend at the college, then back to London City for the Sunday flight home. Around school events and the Horse Show, Windsor cars are reserved well ahead. 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 Windsor: Route and Drive Time

London City Airport and Windsor are at opposite ends of the London area: the drive is 31 miles, normally 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes. Heathrow is far closer to the town, 10 miles and 30–40 minutes; this route is for travellers whose airline brings them into the Docks instead.

After crossing the capital, the car takes the M4 west and leaves it at Junction 6, on the northern side of Windsor. From there the address decides the end of the trip: the castle and the old streets below it, Eton across the river, or Legoland on the edge of town. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London City Airport

Swiss and Italian visitors have direct flights into the Docks: Zurich is served to London City by both Swiss International Air Lines and British Airways, and Milan Linate by ITA Airways. A family from Zurich visiting a son at Eton College, for example, might well land here.

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. With a single terminal, you only need the flight number. The DLR leaves from the terminal, but reaching Windsor by rail means crossing London to Waterloo or Paddington first, with a further change at Slough on the Paddington route.

Arriving at Your Address in Windsor

Windsor, in Berkshire, gives its name to a royal borough that it shares with Maidenhead. The castle at its centre is still a royal home; visitors are usually admitted from Thursday to Monday, and it can close at short notice, so check before you plan an afternoon there after landing.

Eton and its college are across the Thames from the castle. For a school visit, a guest house in Eton or a hotel in the old streets below the castle walls, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go. Windsor & Eton Riverside and Windsor & Eton Central stations are alternative drop-off points for anyone continuing by train.

From Windsor Back to London City Airport

The drive back takes 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes, through the M4 and the whole of London, so plan by that rather than by the miles. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

London City closes at 12:30 on Saturdays, so a weekend visit to Windsor usually ends with a Sunday flight or a Friday evening one. On the days of the Royal Windsor Horse Show, held in the private grounds of the castle from 13 to 16 May 2027, leave Windsor early for any afternoon departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the journey time between London City Airport and Windsor?

Normally 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes for the 31 miles. The route crosses London and then runs west on the M4, and the traffic at the time you travel sets the actual figure.

My Zurich flight is running late. What happens to the car?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car moves with the delay. A switch to another flight is the only case where support needs the new details from you.

How do I find the driver after landing at London City Airport?

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.

Which Windsor station should I use if I go on by train?

There are two. Riverside runs straight to London Waterloo, while Central connects by a short shuttle to Slough for trains into Paddington. Name the station in the booking if that is where the car should go.

Can a van carry our show party with riding kit?

Yes: list the people and every bag. 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. More than twelve people need a second van or a coach.

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

Liquids at London City security were still limited to 100 ml in August 2026. In Windsor, the Royal Windsor Horse Show takes place from 13 to 16 May 2027 in the castle's private grounds.
