Fixed-price taxi from Woolwich (SE18) to London City Airport (LCY), from £25. Just 4 miles across the Thames · 15–30 minutes. Royal Arsenal Riverside, Woolwich Arsenal, Plumstead covered. TfL licensed, flight tracked, 24/7 including pre-dawn.
A fixed-price taxi from Woolwich to London City Airport starts from £25 for a standard saloon with Get London Transfer — one of the shortest LCY transfers in our service area. Woolwich (SE18) sits directly opposite London City Airport across the Thames, just 4 miles away by road via the Silvertown Tunnel or the A102/A206/A117 route through Greenwich Peninsula edges. Typical journey time is 15-30 minutes depending on traffic, making this one of our most efficient LCY transfer routes.
Woolwich covers the SE18 postcode — central Woolwich town centre, Plumstead, the Royal Arsenal, the Royal Arsenal Riverside development, and Woolwich Dockyard. The area has undergone significant regeneration since the 2018 arrival of the Elizabeth Line at Woolwich station, with substantial new residential development (particularly the Royal Arsenal Riverside scheme) attracting a City-commuting executive population drawn by the area's relative affordability, Thames riverside setting, and direct Crossrail access to Canary Wharf, the City, and Central London. The SE18 professional community is a strong LCY user base — LCY is the fastest, most convenient airport for Woolwich residents flying to European business destinations.
London City Airport (LCY, Royal Docks, E16) is the UK's most central airport, handling executive and short-haul European flights — primarily BA CityFlyer, KLM, Lufthansa, Swiss, LOT Polish Airlines, Loganair, and Air France to Zurich, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris CDG, Milan Linate, Rotterdam, Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow. LCY's positioning as the City and Canary Wharf executive-flight hub makes it a popular choice for business travellers heading to European financial centres. The short distance from Woolwich to LCY makes our fixed-fare service particularly attractive — 4 miles at £25 fixed vs the DLR alternative (Woolwich Arsenal DLR → King George V change → LCY, £2.90, 25-35 minutes). For solo passengers with hand luggage only during daytime hours, the DLR remains cheaper. For 2+ passengers, the fixed taxi split between travellers beats the DLR on price and eliminates the DLR change entirely. For pre-dawn first-wave flights (5am pickups for 7am BA CityFlyer departures to Amsterdam, Zurich, Frankfurt, Paris) the DLR isn't yet running — the fixed taxi is the only option. For executive clients, a business-dress chauffeur in Mercedes S-Class (£65) or Range Rover Autobiography (£75) provides appropriate arrival-confidence for international business meetings at European financial centres.
Our route typically runs via the A206 westbound from Woolwich town centre, joining the A117 Silvertown Way, and approaching LCY directly through the Royal Docks east entrance. Alternatively, for southern SE18 pickups (Plumstead, Royal Arsenal south), we use the new Silvertown Tunnel (opened 2025 as a second Thames crossing east of Blackwall) for fastest northbound route. Toll included in fixed fare. Every driver is TfL-licensed, DBS-background-checked, in business dress, and knows the Royal Arsenal gate layout and the LCY kerbside protocol intimately.

The DLR from Woolwich Arsenal to London City Airport runs via King George V — typically 25-35 minutes with one DLR change, £2.90 off-peak.

For 2+ passengers with luggage, the £25 fixed taxi (£12.50 per head for 2 = cheaper than two DLR fares) is cheaper per head and dramatically more convenient — direct to LCY terminal kerbside, no DLR change at King George V.
