Travel notes
Good to know about UCL to Heathrow.
Moving in and out
A term’s luggage usually fits one estate; a full house move wants the MPV. Tell us about the instruments and the bicycle first.
Move-in weekends
Freshers’ arrival dates funnel every family into the same few days. Halls set one-way systems and timed unloading bays — we book the slot with you and bring an estate or MPV so a year’s kit moves in one run.
At the UCL end
Gower Street set-down serves the main quad; halls across Bloomsbury each have their own best kerb, which we match to your address.
Worth knowing
International arrivals with a year’s luggage do best landing at halls first, registering second — we sequence the two stops in one booking.
The UCL–Heathrow transfer
A UCL–Heathrow Airport transfer lives or dies on the two meeting points and the fixed price. International arrivals with a year’s luggage do best landing at halls first, registering second — we sequence the two stops in one booking. Inbound, the flight is tracked and the UCL pickup moves to your real arrival; the fare from £60 is agreed before you travel, either direction.
Reckon on 45 min–1h 05 for the 18 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 sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.

How much is a chauffeur from UCL to Heathrow Airport?
From £60 for a saloon, agreed before you book — the same fare applies in reverse, and larger vehicles are priced up front too.
Where does the car pick up at UCL?
Gower Street set-down serves the main quad; halls across Bloomsbury each have their own best kerb, which we match to your address.
Can you take a group?
Yes — executive MPVs seat up to seven and minibuses up to sixteen, priced up front. Groups sharing one vehicle usually beat separate app cars comfortably.
Does the price change on event days?
No. The fare is fixed when you book — event-day traffic, closures and staging are our problem to plan around, not a surcharge.
How long does the journey take?
The 18-mile run is typically 45 min–1h 05, depending on traffic and the event calendar. Your driver plans around both.

In the arrivals hall with a name board, with 60 minutes of waiting included. The exact point is confirmed with your booking.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
