The run from Corfe Mullen to London City Airport is around 107 miles, typically taking 150 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 Corfe Mullen

For the London City run: Corfe Mullen is a large village on the western edge of the conurbation, just south of Wimborne. It sits right on the A31 corridor, which makes it one of the faster pickup points for Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton — you're on the main airport road within minutes and never touch the Poole one-way system. The village spreads across several lanes (Blandford Road, Knoll Lane, Waterloo Road) with a mix of housing from cottages to modern estates. Pickups are residential and straightforward, though some of the lanes are narrow so we confirm access for larger MPVs in advance. Corfe Mullen's position adjacent to the A31 at Merley means it shares Wimborne's routing advantages — clean eastbound access without the Bournemouth town-centre penalty, and fast westbound to Southampton via the M27.

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 Corfe Mullen instead, say so.
• Pack a phone charger for the long run from Corfe Mullen — a flat phone at London City drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
• Booking your Corfe Mullen → London City return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
