Heathrow from Kensington

Kensington sits approximately 13 to 14 miles from Heathrow Airport, making it one of the closest Central London areas to the airport. In light traffic the journey takes as little as 25 to 35 minutes via the A4 through Hammersmith and Chiswick before joining the M4. During morning peak hours — typically 7am to 9:30am — the same route can take 50 to 60 minutes due to congestion on the A4 corridor and around the Hammersmith gyratory. UKride calculates your ideal pickup time from your W8 or SW7 address based on your exact flight departure, not a general estimate.

Kensington passengers most commonly fly from Terminal 5 (British Airways), Terminal 3 (Emirates, American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic) and Terminal 2 (Star Alliance carriers). Your driver will take you directly to the correct terminal drop-off zone. If you are unsure of your terminal, check your boarding pass or airline website before booking and note it in your UKride booking details. For arrivals, your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board — no searching outside in the rain.
