Worth knowing
Good to know about Kensington Palace to Heathrow.
Combining visits
Palaces pair naturally with the towns around them — many clients add lunch or a second sight and keep the car across the day.
Timing
The 14-mile run typically takes 35–50 min. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
A day, not a dash
Palaces and castles reward a whole day — state rooms, gardens, lunch in the town. Hourly hire keeps the car between all of it at one fixed price.
At the Kensington Palace end
Vehicles set down on Kensington High Street by the palace gates or on Bayswater Road for the north approach — both a short level walk across the gardens.
The Kensington Palace–Heathrow transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Vehicles set down on Kensington High Street by the palace gates or on Bayswater Road for the north approach — both a short level walk across the gardens. At Heathrow Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 14-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 35–50 min for the 14 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.
