Heathrow is London’s busiest airport and sits about 16 miles (26 km) west of the centre. There are three realistic ways to get into town: train, taxi or a pre-booked chauffeur. The right one depends on how many of you there are, how much you are carrying and where in London you are going.
The options at a glance
- Train: the direct service reaches Paddington in about 15 minutes. The Elizabeth line and the Piccadilly line also serve the airport. You still need to get from the station to your final address.
- Taxi: available outside every terminal. The fare depends on distance and traffic.
- Pre-booked chauffeur: arranged in advance and driven door to door. By road, the journey into central London usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.
Which terminal?
Heathrow has four passenger terminals in use: Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Tell your chauffeur which terminal you are arriving at when you book, so you are met in the right place.
When to choose a chauffeur
A chauffeur makes most sense when you are travelling as a family or a group, when you have several cases, or when you would rather not change trains after a long flight. It also suits business travellers who want a private space to work on the way to a meeting or hotel.
