How to get to London City Airport including nearest Tube, DLR and Elizabeth line stations

Getting ready to jet off on your holidays can be stressful, but planning your journey to the airport in advance and knowing all the options can help you reduce that stress. Around three million passengers flew from London City Airport last year, having seen a dip in numbers due to Covid-19.

The airport has nine airlines departing from their location, including British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and Luxair. They serve 35 UK and European destinations, such as Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belfast, Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Isle of Man, Jersey, Mykonos and Split.

If you have a holiday or business trip coming up, then don’t fret, MyLondon has you covered to make your journey to the airport as smooth as possible. Back in March it was announced that City had scrapped the 100ml liquid limits rule on hand luggage, with their new CT security scanning lanes producing 3D scans of bags to help staff detect any dangers instantly.
