Heathrow Airport Transportation

Heathrow is about 23 km west of central London. The drive usually takes 45 to 75 minutes to the West End, and longer to the City and Canary Wharf, depending on traffic.

Terminal 2 serves most Star Alliance airlines, Terminal 3 oneworld airlines plus Virgin Atlantic and Delta, Terminal 4 SkyTeam airlines plus Qatar Airways and Etihad, and Terminal 5 British Airways and Iberia. Some airlines use more than one, so check your ticket and include your flight number when you book.

In the arrivals hall of your terminal, after passport control, baggage reclaim and customs. The exact meeting point is on your booking confirmation.

Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation before they travel, including EU and EEA citizens since 25 February 2026. British and Irish citizens do not. Apply online before you fly.

About 20 to 30 minutes. Windsor is the closest of the classic day trips to Heathrow, and a private transfer takes you to your hotel or straight to the castle.

The Heathrow Express runs to Paddington in about 15 minutes, and the Elizabeth and Piccadilly lines reach central London in 30 to 60 minutes, which is quick if you are staying near a station and travel light. A private transfer is booked in advance at a fixed price per vehicle and takes you door to door, which suits families, groups, heavy luggage and late arrivals.

Yes. Book a round trip, or a one-way pickup from your hotel. Your driver drops you at the departures forecourt of your terminal.

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay doesn't cancel your pickup. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or the flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking as soon as you know.

Yes. Transfers to King's Cross St Pancras for the Eurostar, and to Paddington, Euston, Victoria, Waterloo and Liverpool Street, can be booked. Give your train time so the pickup leaves enough margin.
