Getting between Somerset House and Heathrow Airport
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The Strand entrance takes set-down at the archway — skaters with kit bags prefer the Embankment door, which we use on request. At Heathrow Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 17-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 45 min–1h for the 17 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.
