London City Airport (LCY)

The business-orientated London City Airport (LCY) is the most central of the capital's airports, located just 10 kilometres (six miles) east of the City of London. The airport is relatively small. However, nearly three million passengers travelled through it in 2007.

These include bureaux de change, ATMs, information and hotel reservation desks, postal facilities, duty-free shopping, restaurants, bars, and car hire from Avis, Europcar and Hertz.

The Meridian Business Centre offers fully serviced conference suites and office space for hire.

A new DLR link is now open, connecting the existing DLR network (and the Jubilee Line on the Underground) at Canning Town, stopping at four stations en route. Trains run every seven minutes, and take 14 minutes to reach Canning Town, and 22 minutes to reach Bank station.

There are two airport shuttle buses, which operate Monday to Friday from approximately 06:00-21:00, Saturday 06:00-13:00 and Sunday 11:00-21:00. The green shuttle bus runs to Canning Town station (journey time five minutes) and the blue bus runs to Canary Wharf (journey time ten minutes) and Liverpool Street station (journey time 30 minutes).

There is a stand with licensed black taxis, located directly outside the terminal building. Fares to central London start from £20-25. The Travel Line provides further information on all transport to and from London.
