LCY is London's smallest commercial airport but the closest to the centre — particularly close to Canary Wharf (4 miles) and the City of London (8 miles). It serves business hubs across Europe with short check-in times and an exceptionally fast through-airport experience.
Key Airlines
British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Swiss, LOT, TAP Portugal — predominantly business-oriented short-haul European routes.
Drop-Off & Pick-Up
LCY has a drop-off charge at the express forecourt. Rushxo's fixed price includes this. Pick-ups: terminal arrivals are exceptionally fast at LCY — average from gate to taxi rank is under 15 minutes.
Why Executive Customers Choose Taxi over DLR
The DLR connects LCY to Bank in around 25 minutes, but requires a transfer at Canning Town and luggage handling on stairs. For business travellers — particularly in suits with laptop bags — a pre-booked taxi is door-to-door, includes WiFi-equipped vehicles on request, and provides time to take calls or review papers en route.
