ARRIVAL PLAN

Your arrival at London City

Agree the collection before you travel, then head directly to your chosen Kensington destination.

Give us your flight details

Share your London City arrival date, flight number and expected arrival time so we can coordinate your pickup. KB Cars is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO); our Privacy Notice explains how we handle your booking information.

Agree where to meet

Discuss the meeting point and contact arrangements with our office before travel and keep the agreed details handy. If you and your driver cannot find each other, contact the office for help.

Identify your destination

Give the full home, hotel or office address and postcode, the relevant entrance and any extra stops.

Considering public transport instead? London City Airport has its own DLR station, with connections including Canning Town, Stratford, West Ham and Woolwich Arsenal. Custom House is an Elizabeth line interchange, not the airport terminal, and a further connection is needed. Use TfL's journey planner to plan your route to Kensington for your travel date.

GOOD TO KNOW

London City to Kensington transfer questions

Answers to help you plan your arrival and onward journey.

Can the car take me to my home or hotel?

Yes. Your private hire journey can take you to your booked home, hotel or office address. Provide the full address and postcode, entrance and any additional stops. Stations in the public-transport comparison are alternatives, not the default collection point for your car.

What luggage details should I provide?

Tell us the passenger count and the number and sizes of your suitcases and cabin bags, together with any pushchair, folding wheelchair or unusual items. The office can help select a vehicle for the whole party and load, not just the number of seats.

A saloon is a starting point for a lighter load; consider an estate for more luggage or an MPV for a larger party. Mini Van and Luxury options are available by enquiry.

When is my transfer confirmed?

Your booking is confirmed when KB sends confirmation by SMS and/or email. An enquiry, quote or payment attempt alone does not confirm a car.

The booker or a designated authorised contact can ask the office to change the arrangements and agree any revised price. A change request is not accepted until the office confirms it. For a time-critical change, call if your message has not been acknowledged.

Can I arrange help with my bags or getting to the car?

Yes. We can arrange guidance to the car and loading of ordinary bags or a folding wheelchair without charge. Tell the office in advance what help you need so a suitable arrangement can be made.

An optional escort inside a building is assessed separately, with any cost agreed. KB does not currently have wheelchair-accessible vehicles; discuss boarding needs as well as space for a folding chair.
