From Longfield (DA3) the natural line out is the A2 and the A227, joining A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road for the last part of the journey. That is about 18.1 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 40 min off-peak becomes 1h when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
The forecourt pickup on Hartmann Road, a few steps from arrivals. City is small enough that arrivals to kerb takes minutes, so a booked car is usually waiting before you are through.
Address: Hartmann Road, Royal Docks, E16 2PX.
Any address in Longfield works, along with the wider DA3 area of Kent. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
From Longfield the A2, A227 route does most of the work, so the timing holds up even when the local roads are busy.

ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
EU, EEA and Swiss citizens (including Irish passport holders) are not included. UK nationals who live in the EU and hold a residence document should show it at the border, as they are not registered in EES either.
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
