How to get from Heathrow Airport to central London

The most direct way from Heathrow Airport to central London is a pre-booked private car. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall and, via the M4 and the A4, drops you at your hotel door in 45–75 minutes depending on the district and time of day. It costs from €89 per vehicle for up to four people with luggage, and the price does not rise if traffic is heavy coming into London.

Flight tracked

If you land early or late the driver adapts, with 60 minutes of free waiting from touchdown.

Met in arrivals

After passports and baggage, your driver is in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name.

Nobody else on board

Straight to the hotel, rental flat or station, with no shared stops.

The closest big airport to the centre

Heathrow lies west of the city and is the major London airport nearest to Westminster. Kensington and Hammersmith are on the way; the City and Canary Wharf, on the far side of London, take longer.

Prices and airport information checked in October 2026.

Pick-up at Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5

Terminal 2

Star Alliance: Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, TAP and others. Shares the central area with T3.

Central area

Terminal 3

Private transfer from London Heathrow Airport to central London with a driver
Before you fly

Since 25 February 2026 the UK fully enforces the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA): visitors who do not need a visa, including EU citizens, must hold one before travelling. Irish citizens are exempt.

Airlines can change terminal, which is why we work from your flight number, not just the terminal given at booking.
