What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Kensington High Street’s bus lanes rule the front — our set-down on Melbury Road lands at the museum’s side door instead. At Heathrow Airport, your driver waits in arrivals with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included.
Culture without logistics
Timed exhibitions, cloakroom queues and closing bells — the car absorbs all of it so the art gets your attention.
Flight tracked
Inbound journeys are tracked in real time; the The Design Museum pickup moves with your actual arrival at no extra cost.
Both directions, one price
The Design Museum to Heathrow Airport or the reverse — the fixed fare from £55 holds either way.

The Design Museum to Heathrow Airport, planned properly
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Kensington High Street’s bus lanes rule the front — our set-down on Melbury Road lands at the museum’s side door instead. At Heathrow Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 13-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 35–45 min for the 13 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
