UK-licensedA London City Airport transfer with Tripyana is a private Mercedes with a chauffeur at a fixed price: £125 per car to Canary Wharf or a Mayfair hotel, the same in either direction. Your chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight and waits 60 minutes free. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
What does a London City Airport transfer include?
One Mercedes and one chauffeur for the whole journey; fuel, airport parking, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ are inside the fare. Four things come with every booking:
A name board in arrivals
The chauffeur parks, walks into the arrivals hall and waits holding your name. Luggage goes from the belt to the car with help.
Flight tracking and free waiting
We watch your flight number. Early or late, the pickup moves with the landing, and 60 minutes of waiting after touchdown cost nothing.
One fare for the whole car
The price is per car, not per passenger. The E-Class takes 3 people with 2 large cases; the V-Class takes 7 with 7.
Any address, either direction
Canary Wharf, the City, the West End or a home in the suburbs. The same car brings you back to departures for the flight home.
Where does the chauffeur meet you at London City Airport?
In the arrivals hall, holding a board with your name. London City is a compact airport in the Docklands, east London (E16). The walk from the gate to arrivals is short. Most flights are short-haul, and many passengers are outside with their bags within 20 minutes of landing.
Give us the flight number when you book. The chauffeur checks it on the day and is in position before the aircraft is on the ground. If you cannot see the board, call the number in your confirmation before leaving the terminal.
For a departure, the chauffeur drops you at the terminal forecourt. Allow the check-in window your airline asks for; the drive times below are measured on a weekday morning.

Road distance: about 4 miles
Typical drive time: 15 to 30 minutes

Home or hotel to London City Airport: the same fixed fares in reverse
One fixed fare. Canary Wharf and a Mayfair hotel are charged at the same central-London tariff as our Heathrow transfers, and the figure is confirmed in writing before you travel. A destination outside central London is priced by distance in the form.
Fixed fares for the other London airports are on the London airport transfers hub. For four or more passengers with full luggage, choose the Mercedes V-Class: three rows of seats and the largest boot.
Why book a chauffeur for the short run to Canary Wharf?
Because the meeting is at 09:00 and the car is already outside. The chauffeur takes the bags and the laptop stays open. The drop is at the building entrance, not at a kerb two streets away. Four miles is a short fare; the minimum covers it in an E-Class.
Many Canary Wharf bookings are for the same car twice: airport to office in the morning, office or hotel to the airport in the evening. Book both legs together with Return (new ride) in the form; the chauffeur waits at the agreed time for the second run.
Staying longer? The area guide to Canary Wharf covers the restaurants, the river walks and the weekend markets between meetings.
