The business community’s airport

Noteworthy for: It was created with business travellers in mind, which is reflected in the price of the flights. It also is home to the most central private jet centre for those who fly in style.

Word to the wise: There is free wi-fi throughout the airport.

London City Airport is just 5km east of the financial district of Canary Wharf, Docklands and the ExCel centre, making this single-runway airport a convenient hub of activity for business travellers who need to commute to Western Europe or other parts of Britain.

A Docklands Light Railway train departs every 10 minutes for Bank station, from where you can connect to the Underground, with singles costing GBP 4.30 taking 20 minutes. A taxi the same distance will take longer and cost around GBP 25.
