All London Airport to Airport Transfer Routes We Cover
MILE5 provides airport to airport transfers across all major London airports. The shortest route, our Heathrow to London City Airport transfer from £257, is ideal for business travellers heading to Canary Wharf, while travellers with larger groups often pick the V-Class MPV under our broader Heathrow chauffeur service for moving multiple people and luggage between terminals. For onward travel into the city, the Heathrow to Central London hub from £143 covers every zone 1 and zone 2 neighbourhood.
When comparing options, our chauffeur vs Uber analysis and the 2026 Uber vs Bolt London comparison explain how fixed-price chauffeurs compare with ride-hailing for inter-airport routes. The full Heathrow airport transfer price list from £86 details every route we run, so you can plan onward connections from any London airport.
If your onward booking is a named hotel rather than a postcode, our London hotel airport transfers from £140 page covers the Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Kensington properties, including the Savoy, Claridges, and the Connaught. For arrivals planning, the Heathrow Terminal 2 guide covers Lufthansa, United, and Star Alliance carriers, while the Heathrow Terminal 3 guide covers Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, and Delta. More on the company is on the about MILE5 page and the client testimonials page.
For safety-conscious travellers, our guide to the safest Heathrow transport options walks through driver vetting and accountability. Each terminal has its own meeting protocol – the Heathrow Terminal 4 guide covers Qatar, KLM, and SkyTeam carriers, and the Heathrow Terminal 5 guide covers all British Airways and Iberia flights, with exact arrivals hall layouts and exit routes.
Why a Private Airport to Airport Transfer Beats Public Transport
Here is the reality: apart from Thameslink between Gatwick and Luton Airport Parkway, there is no direct train between London airports. Most rail options force you to drag luggage through central London, change lines, and hope the connections line up. If you are self-connecting after a long-haul flight, that is a gamble that can leave you stranded or sprinting through a station with two suitcases.
The Heathrow to Gatwick coach is the only direct public option, but it runs on a fixed timetable that does not care about your arrival delay. With MILE5, your chauffeur tracks your inbound flight automatically. If you are late, we are late with you – no extra charge, no rebooking stress. For passengers connecting onward to a London hotel before a later flight, or those who just want a door-to-door journey without the weight of their suitcases on their shoulders, a private airport to airport transfer is the only option that truly adjusts to you.
Here is how the most-requested route – Heathrow to Gatwick – stacks up against every alternative. (For official coach timetables, see National Express Heathrow-Gatwick.)
| Feature | MILE5 Chauffeur | National Express Coach | Uber / Bolt | Train via Central London |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price (LHR ↔ LGW) | From £206 fixed | £13-£25+ | £80-£140+ surge | £30-£50+ (2-3 tickets) |
| Journey Time | 60-90 min direct | 50-75 min (if on time) | 60-90 min | 2-2.5 hrs (2+ changes) |
| Door-to-Door | ✓ Terminal to terminal | ~ Bus stop to bus stop | ✗ Car park pickup only | ✗ 2-3 changes required |
| Flight Tracking | ✓ Both flights tracked | ✗ Fixed schedule | ✗ None | ✗ N/A |
| Luggage Help | ✓ Full assistance | ✗ Self-load, max 2 bags | ✗ Self-load | ✗ Stairs and crowds |
| If Your Flight Is Delayed | ✓ We adjust automatically | ✗ Miss coach = new ticket | ✗ Surge on rebooking | ✗ Miss connection = chaos |

Insider Tips – What 15+ Years of Airport to Airport Transfers Teaches You
After 15+ years behind the wheel, running airport to airport transfers across London’s tangled motorways, our chauffeurs have learned a few things that no sat-nav can predict. Here is what we wish every passenger knew before they book:
Heathrow ↔ Gatwick: the M25 is a trap. Every sat-nav wants to throw you on the M25, but between 3pm and 7pm southbound (Heathrow to Gatwick) and 7am to 10am northbound (Gatwick to Heathrow), junctions 7 to 14 turn into a car park. We will take the A3 or slip through south London instead – often shaving 20 to 30 minutes off your transfer. That is the difference between making your check-in or watching it close.
Heathrow ↔ Stansted: allow at least 3.5 hours between flights. This is the longest run from Heathrow – you are crossing the whole northern half of the M25 plus the M11. On a good day it is 90 minutes, but Friday afternoons or bank holidays can stretch it to 2.5 hours, so add an hour at those times. Our Heathrow to Stansted service always builds in a buffer and we will keep you updated in real time if traffic builds. For the hourly coach and the one-change rail route, see our Heathrow to Stansted travel guide, and for the eastern M25 run, our guide to getting from Gatwick to Stansted.
Heathrow ↔ London City: shortest distance, highest traffic sensitivity. Only 28 miles, but the route cuts through west and central London. Before 7am or after 8pm it is a smooth 40-minute run. During rush hour the A4 and A40 corridor can double that. We know exactly when to divert via the Westway versus Hammersmith – the kind of local knowledge that makes your Heathrow to London City transfer stress-free.
The coach is fine – until your flight is delayed. The Heathrow to Gatwick coach runs up to 56 times a day, with fares from £14.90. Solid budget option if your schedule is flexible. But if your inbound flight lands 45 minutes late, you have missed your coach, your ticket may not be flexible, and the next one might be full. With MILE5, we are already tracking your flight and adjusting your chauffeur’s position before you have even landed. (For live flight arrivals at Heathrow, see Heathrow official arrivals.)

Airport Security Rules 2026 – Know Before You Fly
Security rules and drop-off charges have changed significantly in 2026. Here is what you need to know for each airport so your airport to airport transfer connects smoothly:
| Airport | Liquid Rules | Drop-off Charge (2026) | CT Scanners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heathrow (all terminals) | 100ml scrapped – containers up to 2 litres, keep in bag | £7 (10 min max) | Fully operational Jan 2026 |
| Gatwick North and South | 100ml scrapped – up to 2 litres, keep in bag | £10 (10 min), then £1/min | Operational |
| Stansted | 100ml still applies – liquids must be under 100ml | £10 (15 min Express) or £28 (15-30 min) | Installed, rules unchanged |
| Luton | 100ml still applies – liquids under 100ml, can stay in bag | £9 (12 min), £1/min after | Installed 2024 |
| London City | 100ml still applies – liquids under 100ml, can stay in bag | £8 (5 min + £1/min after, 10 min max) | Operational |
| Southend | 100ml scrapped Feb 2026 – up to 2 litres | £8 (10 min Express) | Operational |
Liquid rules can change at short notice. Always check your departure airport’s website before flying. Note that metal or double-walled water bottles must be empty before security, even at upgraded airports, because CT scanners cannot see through the insulation. Most terminals offer free water refill points after security.
