FACILITIES

Parking
 
London City Airport parking bays are available for all types of parking options, whether patrons simply need to make a short drop-off (short-stay London City Airport parking) or wish to leave their vehicles for a day or more whilst away on a business trip (long-stay London City Airport parking). Both the long and short-stay facilities are situated in close proximity to the main airport terminal building and do not require prior booking. All London City Airport parking facilities cater extensively for disabled passengers and there are free lots for all motorbike and bicycle users (situated beneath the Docklands Light Railway viaduct link, towards the front of the terminal building).

For the hungry, there is EAT., Meridian Line, Trattoria and Presto; for the thirsty, there is Bar Ten 28, Trattoria Bar and a selection of pubs and for those in need of a caffeine fix, there is Caffé Nero and Coffee Corner to name but a few.
 
Internal transport
 
The London City Airport parking and airport is a relatively small flight hub with one terminal building and as such, does not feature any complex intra-airport transport networks. There are comprehensive facilities and assistance for disabled passengers. There are also shuttle buses that transport passengers from the London City Airport parking facilities to the main terminal building, which also features a direct link to the Docklands Light Railway service. Escalators, elevators, comprehensive signage and ready and willing assistance by airport staff make navigation around the terminal building and London City airport parking facilities quick, convenient and completely hassle-free.
 
Departure lounges
 
The London City Airport recently completed an initiative that saw the total refurbishment of their departure lounge facilities. £1.5 million later, the extended lounge that caters for the airport’s departing passengers includes a luxurious décor theme in polished limestone, marble, warm timbers and soft comfortable seating.

Precise air-conditioning and heating ensures the maximum comfort of its patrons, while restroom facilities also benefited enormously from the recent refurbishments. With elements of spaciousness, comfort and light combined with the ready availability of Wi-Fi, laptop plug-in points, conference rooms for the business traveller, snacks, beverages and reading materials, the London City Airport departure lounge provides a luxurious wait for all passengers.
