Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice 2026London City Airport to Westminster in one direct journey
London City Airport is around ten miles from Westminster. By road, allow around 30 to 45 minutes in typical traffic conditions.
By DLR, a change to the Jubilee line at Canning Town reaches Westminster reasonably directly, typically 30 to 35 minutes including the change. A private transfer removes that change and takes you to the exact building or hotel entrance rather than a Tube exit.
From £115
A direct route for government, hotel and visitor addresses
Westminster covers Parliament, government departments, embassies and a concentration of hotels used by both visitors and official delegations, many with specific security or access requirements around drop-off.
A pre-booked car takes you to the correct entrance for your hotel or building, accounting for any road closures or access restrictions in the area, rather than leaving you to navigate them on foot from a station.
Staying at a Westminster hotel?
Give us the full address so your driver can navigate any local access restrictions.
Visiting a government building or embassy?
Book the specific address and allow extra time around any security checks.
Travelling with several bags?
Choose a vehicle with enough passenger and luggage capacity when you book.
Visiting as a tourist?
A direct drop-off near the main sights avoids a walk from the nearest Tube station with luggage.
