Streatham to London City Airport Minicabs
London City Airport sits closer to Streatham than most people assume, and that makes booking a cab there a lot less of a production than the bigger airports. We run a straightforward minicab service that gets you across London without the hassle of working out tube connections with luggage in tow.
A driver comes to your door, whether you're near Streatham High Road, tucked away close to Tooting Bec Common, or somewhere quieter towards the edge of the borough. There's no station to reach first, no changing lines partway through, just a car that arrives and takes you the whole way.
London City runs from one compact terminal, which suits its reputation as an easy airport to move through. Drop-off sits right by the doors, so you're through security and at the gate faster than at almost any other London airport.
The trip covers roughly 12 to 14 miles, and most transfers take between 40 minutes and an hour depending on which way the traffic's moving. It's one of the shorter airport runs we handle, which makes it a popular choice for early meetings or same-day business trips.
Routes typically head through South London before crossing the river, often via the Rotherhithe Tunnel or across one of the bridges further east, depending on traffic at the time. Drivers pick whichever crossing is moving best on the day rather than sticking to one fixed path regardless of conditions.
Passengers starting from Streatham station or Streatham Common station are welcome to be picked up there instead of home. The car continues straight through to the airport, finishing close to the terminal and the London City Airport DLR station, so there's next to no walking once you land.
Streatham covers a decent stretch of South London, and each corner of it has its own streets, its own shortcuts, and its own challenges for a driver trying to find a house before sunrise. Ours know this patch properly.
Streatham Hill Airport Minicabs handles single travellers heading to a business meeting just as easily as groups off on a short break. Book a Streatham Hill to London City taxi through our Get Quote form and see a fixed price before you commit to anything. Streatham Common Taxis keeps the same fair pricing for residents near the Common, with a driver available to meet you at arrivals on the way back too.
Streatham Vale Taxis handles this short but useful route with fares agreed before you travel, whatever the traffic does on the day. Streatham Village passengers can book online in a couple of clicks, or ring through for a same-day car when a meeting gets moved forward at short notice.
Because this route tends to suit business travellers and quick trips, we keep a fleet that matches. Saloon cars work well for solo travellers with a laptop bag and a small case, while estate cars offer a bit more room for anyone carrying extra kit.
Groups heading to London City together, whether for a work trip or a short getaway, often prefer a people carrier, seating up to five comfortably for a journey that's over before it feels like a long drive. For bigger parties, our 8-seater minibuses cover team travel or family trips with room to spare.
Wheelchair-accessible taxis sit within our regular fleet, so just mention it when booking. Executive and chauffeur-driven cars are also on offer at the same fixed pricing, a popular pick for business passengers who want a smarter, quieter ride ahead of a meeting.
Our drivers don't only handle flights. Hospital appointments and longer journeys across London get the same reliable service, with punctual pickups whether you're heading to City Airport or somewhere else entirely across the capital.
Return trips run just as smoothly. A driver can wait for you at arrivals holding your name, so there's no queuing for a cab after landing. Flight times are tracked as standard, meaning a delay doesn't leave you stranded or cost anything extra.
Payment stays flexible on the way home too. Cash, debit card, credit card and American Express are all accepted, whether you settle up online beforehand or pay the driver directly once you're dropped off.
The price depends on the vehicle you choose and when you're travelling, though a fixed quote is always given before booking. Saloon cars are the most affordable option, with minibuses and executive cars priced a little higher.
Generally between 40 minutes and an hour, depending on which river crossing your driver uses and how busy South London traffic is at the time. Early morning trips tend to move fastest.
Yes. People carriers seat up to five, and the 8-seater minibuses handle larger groups with plenty of space for luggage as well.
A driver can be arranged to wait at arrivals for return journeys, tracking your flight so a delay won't leave you stuck without a car.

Yes, they're part of our standard fleet. Just mention your requirement when booking so the right car gets sent out.
Given how short this route is, we can often help with same-day bookings, though a day ahead still gets you the best price and guaranteed availability.
