The journey

How the 79-mile run works

  1. Pickup

    Your driver arrives at your address, or at a local landmark if that is easier — Haslemere station, the High Street and Blackdown are all regular pickup points in Haslemere.

  2. Out of town

    We leave Haslemere on the A286 to the A3. Haslemere is the furthest south we cover, so airport runs are planned around the A3 rather than the M25 — the motorway is the last part of the journey, not the first.

  3. Motorway

    The route joins M25 Junction 10 for the run to London City, 79 miles in total.

  4. Arrival

    London City Airport is a single-terminal airport, so arrival is straightforward. Drop-off is directly outside the terminal door, closer than at any other London airport.

Timing

When should you leave Haslemere?

Working back from the airport: allow about 4 hours 15 minutes before a short-haul departure and 5 hours 15 minutes before a long-haul one. That is the journey at its slowest plus the standard two- and three-hour check-in windows.

Haslemere is the furthest south we cover, so airport runs are planned around the A3 rather than the M25 — the motorway is the last part of the journey, not the first.

Every booking

What your fare covers

  • A licensed, CRB-checked chauffeur who is trained, insured and smartly presented.
  • Help with luggage at both ends, not just an unlocked boot.
  • Flight tracking, so your pickup time follows your actual landing time.
  • A meet-and-greet arrival rather than a phone call from a car park.

Where exactly do you drop off at London City Airport?

Drop-off is directly outside the terminal door, closer than at any other London airport. It sits inside the ULEZ in the Royal Docks and is built for business travellers: check-in to gate can be under twenty minutes, which changes how late you can safely leave Surrey.

Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Haslemere customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
