Get a price for London City
Coaches typically £535*
Per vehicle, one way, to central London. * Includes the airport’s permit, parking or drop-off charge for a normal pick-up or drop-off. Waiting time rates may apply. Prices are subject to the time of year, the time of day and availability.
Dropping off now costs £8 for the first five minutes, then £1 a minute up to a ten-minute maximum, paid online by midnight the following day — there are no machines on the barrierless forecourt, and overstaying triggers a £100 charge. Collecting is a separate car park: £10 for the first twenty minutes, rising in bands beyond that. Blue Badge holders get ten free minutes at drop-off and an hour at pick-up. If you want to avoid the drop-off charge, the Main Car Park (postcode E16 2PB) is the alternative; the terminal itself is E16 2PX.

Coaches & minibuses
Coach parking at London City
No dedicated coach park is published. The pick-up and main car parks carry a 3.3 m height barrier, so full-size coaches cannot enter them.
