We'll be arriving London City Airport at 9 pm. What's the easiest
option for transportation to the Marriott Hotel Regents Park on 128
King Henry's Rd? We probably don't want to deal with buses or
lightrails or trains. How about a shuttle? What would taxi fare be
for that distance?

Have added uk.transport.london where there are at least two cab drivers
who can give you an idea of the fare.

That'll be me then.

Welcome to London. You can get a London taxi directly outside the
terminal at City Airport. Make sure that you are not 'touted' on your
way out as you will not be insured in anything except a taxi. London
taxis are unique in shape and are easy to distinguish. They are known as
'black taxis' although they come in different colours these days. There
are some Mercedes Vito vehicles licensed as taxis; the main thing is to
look for the licence plate at the back and the meter inside - no plate,
no meter it's not a taxi.

The fare will be on the meter. It will vary depending upon traffic
conditions but after 9 p.m. there should not be too many delays. Expect
to pay somewhere in the region of £40.

Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
