If you are travelling from London, then you are going to land on the International airport not the domestic one. This would be KEF and is approx. 30 miles (49.5 km) away from Reykjavík.
In terms of transportation, you can always hire a car on arrival, the rates aren’t high and is economical too.

In Rvk, there are officially 2 airports. One is called “international” but large planes can’t land there because the strip is too short. There’s an agency where you can buy plane tickets, though :).

Google was wrong. There are two airports “in” Reykjavík: Reykjavík Airport, which is close to town and serves only domestic destinations and Greenland, and Keflavík International Airport, a.k.a. Reykjavík–Keflavík, which is 50km to the west and which has all the international flights.

At the time when the question was posted, if you searched Google Maps for “Reykjavik International Airport”, it incorrectly marked a spot within Reykjavík [domestic] airport and labelled it “Reykjavik International Airport”. There is no such thing as “Reykjavik International Airport”. That map search now takes you to Keflavík International Airport.

In all cases, the way to be sure which airport you’re going to is to look at the IATA code, which is a three-letter code that will appear in your booking confirmation and on your boarding pass. Reykjavík Airport is RKV; Keflavík is KEF.

You will be arriving at Keflavik (KEF), which is a 40-ish minute drive outside Reykjavik. Keflavik is now the main airport for Reykjavik, and all the car hire agencies have a presence there.
