Why? The direct service is 22 minutes (no changing).

It doesn't seem on the map
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/dlr/pdf/network/zones.pdf as though there is a
direct service. If so, that makes a difference, yes.
You can get from Bank to Gatwick or Heathrow in less than 22 minutes?

Heh! No, but it would take me 30 mins to get to Bank and then another,
allegedly, 22 to get to LC. I can get to Gatwick by overground train
in about 30 minutes.

Yeah, and if you lived in Crawley it would take you a few minutes to get to
Gatwick whereas if you lived in Limehouse it's take you a few minutes to get
to London City! Journey time depends fairly crucially on where you live.

If you live in Central London, Docklands or south-east Essex, LCY is
probably the best airport for you.

I wonder whether DLR will run any fast services, non-stop from
Bank/Stratford/Lewisham/Beckton to LCY or whether every LCY service will
stop at all stations en route.
