Brighton to London City Airport transfers
London City sits in the Docklands, east of the centre, and it is mostly a business airport — short-haul European routes and a schedule built around the working day.
The journey
This is the only one of the five that takes you through or around London rather than skirting it, and the route depends heavily on the time of day. It is a journey where leaving the departure time to chance is a poor idea.
Because the airport's schedule is built around meetings, a great many of these transfers are first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening.
Business travel and accounts
London City transfers are one of the most common uses of a corporate account: the person travelling is often not the person paying, and the booking is frequently made by somebody back at the office. If that describes your organisation, an account is likely to be tidier than expensing individual journeys.
What to give us when you book
The flight number is the detail that does the most work — it lets the pickup be planned around the flight rather than around the time printed on your ticket.
- Pickup address, with a flat or building number.
- The terminal, if your airline has told you which one.
- The flight number and the departure or arrival time.
- Passenger count and the number of bags.
- Anything that changes the vehicle: a wheelchair, a child seat, sports equipment.
London City transfers: questions and answers
- Why travel to London City by car from Brighton?
- Rail routes to the Docklands from Brighton involve crossing London with luggage and at least one change. For an early meeting or an evening return, a single door-to-door vehicle is often the more reliable option.
- Can a London City transfer go on a company account?
- Yes — these are among the most common account journeys we carry. See our corporate accounts page.
- How is the fare confirmed?
- The fare is confirmed with you before the booking is accepted, by phone on 01273 220220 or as part of the online booking. This website does not publish fixed airport fares, because the price depends on the route, the vehicle and the time of travel.
