London City is the capital's business airport: a single runway on the Thames in Docklands, minutes from Canary Wharf and the ExCeL London exhibition centre. Zonetransfers books you a chauffeur who waits in the North or South Terminal arrivals hall and takes the road to London City with a closed fare from €139.
The drive from LGW to London City covers about 70 km, or 1 h 15 min without stops. Zonetransfers charges from €139 per car, whatever the number of passengers up to four, with no meter running.
London's largest events venue.
Royal Victoria Dock and its restaurants.
Food and craft stalls.

One of Gatwick's two terminals; your chauffeur waits in its arrivals hall when your flight lands there.
Land at South and the chauffeur waits in the South arrivals hall.
No terminal change needed: the chauffeur comes to yours.

If the chauffeur is not visible, wait by the arrivals exit and phone the helpline on your booking. WhatsApp +34 654 381 547 is answered too.
Exhibitors arriving at Gatwick with display material and business travellers heading to Canary Wharf share this cross-London route. A private car takes the tunnels under the Thames and stops at the right building or hall.

Exhibition centre five minutes from the airport.

At London City, check-in closes earlier than at other airports. Give us your flight time and we set the Gatwick pick-up with a margin for east London traffic.
