London City Airport — LcY
Executive transfers for commercial and private jet arrivals. The closest airport to Canary Wharf and the City of London.
LONDON CITY AIRPORT CAR TRANSFERS
London City Airport (IATA: LCY, ICAO: EGLC) sits just 3 miles from Canary Wharf and 5 miles from the City of London — making it the fastest airport to central London of any in the capital. Under normal traffic conditions, your chauffeur will have you at your Canary Wharf office in as little as 15 minutes.
Unlike Heathrow or Gatwick, London City serves a specific audience: business travellers on short-haul European routes and private jet clients who value proximity to London's financial district above all else. Both audiences share one priority — speed. Your chauffeur understands this.
When you land at London City, your chauffeur will be waiting in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign board. Your driver details — name, vehicle and direct number — will have been sent the evening before. Once you meet your chauffeur they will assist with your luggage and have you on your way within minutes.
