GOOD TO KNOW
Everything you need for this journey
01
Meeting point
Before you travel, our team will send you a confirmation with your exact meeting point inside the terminal, so you can go straight from arrivals to your chauffeur. Your driver will text you as they arrive, keeping the whole experience quick, calm and hassle free all the way to Derby.
Flying into London City, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign. We'll time their arrival to whatever pickup slot you request after landing, giving you the time you need to clear immigration and collect your baggage. As one of the smallest and closest airports to central London, London City is popular with business travellers heading straight into the city or Canary Wharf. If you're travelling during peak traffic (weekday mornings or evenings), do allow a little extra time for the journey.
02
About Derby
Derby became a city in 1977 but its cathedral has stood since 1927, and its Cathedral Quarter of cobbled lanes and Georgian courtyards sits alongside a proud industrial heritage as the historic home of Rolls-Royce. Once one of the Danelaw's five fortified Viking boroughs, Derby is now a regular destination for both engineering-sector business travellers and visitors exploring the nearby Peak District.
03
Along the way
Any stop along the route is entirely optional, but if there's anywhere you'd like to see, let us know and we're happy to arrange a detour or waiting time, at an extra cost.
04
Local Knowledge
Some central Derby streets, including Corporation Street, are restricted between 7am and 7pm, so we choose the nearest legal drop-off point and confirm it with you in advance.
