Which zone is London City Airport?

London City Airport is located in fare Zone 3.



London City Airport (LCY) is located in Travelcard Zone 3. This classification is important for passengers using the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which is the primary rail link to the airport. Because it is in Zone 3, travelers coming from Central London (Zone 1) will pay a lower fare than if they were traveling to Heathrow (Zone 6). The airport's DLR station is fully integrated into the Transport for London (TfL) network, meaning you can pay for your journey using a standard Oyster card or any contactless payment method (credit/debit card, Apple Pay, etc.). The airport's location in Zone 3 highlights its status as the most "central" airport in London, situated just six miles from the City of London financial district and within the London Borough of Newham. This accessibility makes it a favorite for business travelers who want to minimize their transit time within the metropolitan area.
