Stay & Park at London City Airport

lady1964

Me & DH are flying out of London City Airport in mid July for a Fri-Mon break so I've started researching travel options.

We are approx. 25 miles away from LCY and we have a flight at 06:55, returning mid afternoon.

Parking for 4 days on the LCY website is coming up at £110, a cab from home is £50 and public transport is not feasible at that time of the morning. So, my thoughts turned to an overnight stay/park option. Holiday Extras is saying there is nothing but I'm aware there are budget hotels there, Travelodge etc.

What I can't find is one of the budget hotels which offers a stay/park option, what have I missed? Am I just not seeing something that is obvious or is it a case of none of the budget hotels offer this as an option?

Any advice would be very gratefully received.

Pretty much, there are none.

The thing I'd recommend doing is logging on to https://www.cabmania.com and getting a price for a return taxi. It just asks many different taxi firms for their best price, allowing you to pick. As all the firms get e-mailed or texted, and name a price, I'd recommend waiting 2-3 days to gather quotes.

We did a four day trip from London City Airport in February and used Saphire Meet and Greet which cost £90. We had some initial misgivings, having not used a "Meet and Greet" before, but we were very pleased with the service and will use them again.

Thanks very much, I really appreciate this, I've logged on and set up the quotes thing. We've got plenty of time to look & decide. I'm still pondering whether to book a budget hotel & just go there & back on the tube, at least we won't have to get up at 4am, we could get up at 5am instead
