This is the one airport page where the honest answer is to recommend against parking. London City is built for business travellers arriving by DLR, its parking is priced for a few hours rather than a few weeks, and there is no off-site alternative because the Royal Docks has no room for one. If you are flying from LCY for a week, park at home and take the DLR.
| Car park | Type | At the barrier | Pre-booked | With BCP25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official Short Stay | On-airport | £240 | £190 | £152 |
London City has the least parking of any airport in this set by a wide margin, no long-stay product to speak of, and a DLR station at the terminal door — it is the one airport where our honest recommendation is usually not to drive.
1 car park at London City accept the codes on this page. Treat the quoted transfer times as a floor rather than an average, particularly in the early-morning departure bank.

The NHS airport parking discount page shows what the public code delivers against every eligibility route we could find.
Blue Light Card offers do not cover London City parking, and there is little for them to cover. If you are flying from London City and looking to save money, the saving is in not driving rather than in a code.
London City Airport charges £6 for up to 10 minutes in the terminal drop-off zone. The free alternative is no free alternative on site — the DART and DLR are the practical options.
Pick-ups are where London City's charging really bites, because there is no free car park to wait in at all — the DLR is the only sensible way to meet someone here.

London City operates one terminal with limited short-stay parking and no meaningful long-stay product. There is no off-site park and ride cluster because there is nowhere in the Royal Docks to put one. The DLR station is at the terminal door, connecting to Bank in about 25 minutes and to the Elizabeth line at Custom House.
British Airways, KLM and a rotating set of European regional carriers operate most services, weighted heavily towards business destinations. The runway length restricts operations to smaller jets and turboprops.
London City sits in the Royal Docks, reached from the A13 via the A1020. Set your satnav to E16 2PX. Typical drive times are 30 minutes from the City of London, 45 from Westminster and an hour from north London, though these figures are optimistic at almost any hour. Congestion charge and ULEZ both apply to most approaches, which is a real cost on top of the parking.
Four steps, and the order matters — the code goes in before payment, not after.
If the total does not move when you apply the code, the likeliest cause at London City is a date restriction rather than a product exclusion — this airport has few enough car parks that platform exclusions rarely bite. Try shifting your dates by a day to test it. Our guide to why airport parking discount codes fail works through the rest.
No London City operator runs a student, senior or military scheme, and the airport's passenger profile means there is little demand for one. The practical advice at this airport is the DLR.
