Medway Taxi / London City to Gillingham Taxi
London City → Gillingham · ~32-36 Miles · Business Terminal to Kent

Your London City to Gillingham taxi — the fast airport, matched with the shortest drive home on our books.

Landing at London City Airport? Let us take the stress off

Your driver is waiting with a name board the moment you come through customs into arrivals – not in a car park, not on the phone. We track the flight, so a late landing costs you nothing, and the first 60 minutes after the plane lands are free waiting time. Luggage trolleys, a child seat, a wheelchair-friendly car: tell us when you book and it is ready.

SIM card and money on the way. Still carrying your own currency? That is fine: every car takes cards and contactless, so you need no pounds in hand for the journey. If you want a UK SIM or some cash, say so and your driver will point you to the kiosks in arrivals (SIM cards: WHSmith; currency: no bureau de change airside – use a cash machine or change in town) or, usually cheaper, stop at a supermarket, Post Office or bank on the route to Gillingham. Our local drivers know where the fair rates and the working cash machines are – trust them to sort it in minutes.

Disabled-friendly arrival. Special assistance: Book via your airline at least 48h ahead. Step-free: Compact single terminal; DLR station step-free. Airport accessibility page Our driver meets you at the assistance desk if you prefer, carries folding wheelchairs and walkers free, and assistance dogs always travel with you at no charge.

London City is built for people who need to land, collect a bag, and get moving — one of the shortest walks from gate to kerb of any London airport. We keep that pace going on the ground: a driver waits just outside the compact arrivals area, name held, your flight tracked since departure, then the M25's eastern edge onto the A2 into Gillingham — 45 minutes to an hour and twenty, genuinely the shortest airport-to-Gillingham journey we run. Whether you're back from a same-day meeting or heading home after an event at Priestfield's own conference suites, call 020 8888 9988 whenever you land.

The business airport, matched with Gillingham's own conference-hosting stadium.
Built for the Same-Day Traveller

Two things designed for speed, working together

London City's whole design philosophy is minimising the time between plane and pavement. That matters most to people whose day doesn't stop when they land — a same-day return, a client meeting, or heading back to host something at Priestfield's own conference floor, one of the largest in Kent. This corridor keeps that momentum going once you're through arrivals: no long walk, no queue at the rank, just a driver already waiting with your name up.

Worth knowing: a short flight time doesn't always mean a short ground journey elsewhere in London — but on this specific corridor, into Gillingham, it genuinely does. It's the shortest drive on our entire Medway network.

"Our car transfer service was smooth and convenient. I appreciated that the company monitored our flight both before departure and upon arrival, demonstrating great attention to detail, clear communication, and excellent personalised customer service. The ride was comfortable, and the driver was courteous. Despite the tube strike, the service made our journey hassle-free and stress-free. Highly recommend!"

Joel Versluys

"We arranged a transfer from the O2 arena to Hampshire after a concert with kids. Really good comms up front, sorted a large vehicle, gave me the drivers contact the day before. the driver arrived early and gave perfect details to find him in a very busy area, drove very smoothly, in fact a very smooth process end to end, much needed after a late night, thank you!"

Dave Hewitt

"Great experience as we booked to pick us up from Tottenham stadium after a concert, and take us back to Wickford. Communication from start to finish was excellent. Mr Mukul was fantastic, and made it easy for us to find him, due to all the road closures etc near the venue. Would recommend, and will use again with no hesitation."

Straight Answers

London City to Gillingham taxi — the questions people actually ask

How fast is the whole process, gate to car?

Quick by design — London City's compact layout keeps the walk short, and your driver is already waiting just outside with your name up.

How long is the drive to Gillingham?

Usually 45 minutes to 1 hour 20 for the roughly 32-36 miles — the shortest airport-to-Gillingham journey we run.

Can you drop me at Priestfield after a conference?

Yes — a regular request given how many business visitors use the stadium's own conference and events suites.

Souvenirs & British brands

Tipping: 10–12.5% service is often added in restaurants, never in pubs or chippies. Most places take cards; a few old caffs and Sam Smith’s pubs are cash-only. Vegan and gluten-free options are marked on almost every London menu – just ask. The airport shops sell the same tea tins and biscuits at 2–3 times the supermarket price, so buy souvenirs in town.
