About the Alderney to London City transfer
The run from Alderney to London City Airport is around 110 miles, typically taking 155 minutes off-peak, door-to-door. Single terminal in the Royal Docks. Meet in Arrivals with a name board; the building is small, so we still track the flight rather than waiting on the forecourt.
Pickup in Alderney
For the London City run: Alderney covers Alder Hills, Rossmore and Newtown on the north side of BH12, between Branksome and Wallisdown. It is a practical, residential pickup: Alder Road, Herbert Avenue and the estates behind the retail strip. The A3049 Poole Spur is the usual eastbound exit toward the A338; the A348 toward Ferndown is the northbound alternative when the Spur is solid. Herbert Avenue is long and easy to mis-pin, so we confirm the number and a nearby landmark (the retail park, Alder Court, or the recreation ground) the night before. This is not a clifftop job — it is a working neighbourhood that books a lot of early BOH and Southampton runs.

Journey time — when to leave

Planning your Alderney to London City trip
The Alderney to London City run is 110 miles and around 155 minutes off-peak. For London airports the M25 is the main variable: Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings and school-holiday start days can add 30-45 minutes. We always recommend a pickup time when you book, factoring in the day of the week and current M25 conditions. Pickup: Herbert Avenue is long — send the house number and a landmark. We usually take the A3049 east, or the A348 north if the Spur is slow.
The route
From Alderney we take the A31/M27/M3, then the M25 east and the A13 into the Royal Docks. London City is one terminal in Newham — ULEZ applies, the congestion charge usually does not. The last miles through Docklands are the delay, not Cadnam.
Tips for this journey
- London City is the airport in the docks, not a hotel in the City of London. If you want Westminster or Canary Wharf as the drop from Alderney instead, say so.
- Pack a phone charger for the long run from Alderney — a flat phone at London City drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
- Booking your Alderney → London City return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
