About the Branksome to London City transfer
The run from Branksome to London City Airport is around 109 miles, typically taking 153 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 Branksome
For the London City run: Branksome (BH12) is the Victorian and inter-war grid around Alder Road, Poole Road and the station — it is not Branksome Park. Mixing the two is the most common booking error we see in this postcode. Terraces here have little or no drive, so pickups are kerbside and we confirm a side street rather than waiting on Poole Road. The payoff is routing: County Gates and the A338 Spur are a few minutes east, which makes Branksome one of the faster Poole starts for Heathrow and Gatwick once you are off the doorstep. The station itself is a useful meeting point if the house is in a residents-only bay.

Planning your Branksome to London City trip

We always recommend a pickup time when you book, factoring in the day of the week and current M25 conditions. Pickup: This is BH12 Branksome, not Branksome Park (BH13). Meet on a side street or at Branksome station if Poole Road is blocked.
The route
From Branksome 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 Branksome instead, say so.
- Pack a phone charger for the long run from Branksome — a flat phone at London City drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
- Branksome is BH12 — Branksome Park is BH13. Put the postcode on the London City booking so the driver is not in the pines.
- Booking your Branksome → London City return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
