Book the award-winning LCY taxi in under a minute. Fixed prices on the departures board — Canary Wharf , City , Mayfair . Driver waits in arrivals after baggage reclaim with your name board. Officially recognised as the best SME transport provider in the UK.
Get London Transfer is the 2026 UK Transport Awards Winner for Best SME Transport Provider, awarded by SME News. The award is independent — judged on reliability, pricing transparency, driver standards and verified passenger feedback. For London City Airport (LCY), the booking is built around speed: under 60 seconds online, under 2 minutes on WhatsApp, fixed fare locked in at confirmation. No phone-tag, no quote-and-wait, no "your driver will text you" uncertainty.
The departures board above shows the award-winning fixed fares: to Canary Wharf in ~12 minutes, to the City, to Shoreditch, to Greenwich and the O2, to Mayfair / Central London. These are the prices at booking and the prices you pay — no surge for early-morning BA shuttles to Edinburgh, no premium for late-night returns from Frankfurt, no extra for the Lower Lea Crossing toll-free route the chauffeur takes.
The LCY taxi rank queues 20–40 minutes during peak hours. Pre-booking the award-winning service guarantees your driver, locks your fare, and means meeting a chauffeur with a name board inside arrivals after baggage reclaim — not waiting at the short-stay forecourt in the rain.
