London City Airport does not name an official taxi partner. Licensed London black taxis, many with built-in wheelchair access, wait at the rank outside the terminal building. Pre-booked minicabs and executive cars collect passengers from the pick-up area in the Short Stay car park.

This page lists 4 taxi and private hire operators that publish their own contact details and state that they serve London City Airport. Each entry was checked against the operator’s own website or official page on 23 September 2026. We have not taken test rides and the order is not a quality ranking.
