Via

Kensington is on the western side of central London, which puts it closer to Heathrow than almost any other inner district — the Cromwell Road runs straight into the A4 and the M4 follows. For a great many residents the airport run is genuinely quick, provided it is timed sensibly.

We run fixed-fare transfers to and from Kensington around the clock. The fare is agreed before you book, your flight is tracked, and the Congestion Charge and emission zone are already inside it.

Heathrow is the obvious one and the quickest. The eastern airports take longer from here precisely because Kensington sits on the wrong side of town for them.

Why choose Minicabees for Kensington transfers?

The road to Heathrow from here is short and unreliable in equal measure. A fixed fare puts the unreliability on us, which is where it belongs.

One fixed fare per vehicle, agreed before you book and unchanged afterwards

Congestion Charge and Ultra Low Emission Zone included, not added at the end

Flights tracked automatically, so delays and early landings move the pickup at no extra charge

Saloons, estates, MPVs and eight-seaters, matched to the luggage you tell us about

Licensed private hire drivers who know the garden squares, the mews and where a car can stop

Twenty-four hour booking, and a real phone number when plans change

Taxi from Kensington route details

West is straightforward: Cromwell Road, Talgarth Road, the Hammersmith flyover and the M4. Before the morning peak Heathrow is thirty-five minutes; by half past four in the afternoon the flyover section alone can add half an hour, and terminals two and three are slower than terminal five because of the central tunnel. We set the pickup from the hour and the terminal, not from the map.
Gatwick goes south over the river and down the A23 to the M23, or occasionally round the western M25 when town is at a standstill. London City is the long way across London — Embankment and the Limehouse Link — and is the airport most often underestimated from this side of town.
Locally, much of Kensington is residents' parking with no loading in the day, and the mews and garden squares off Kensington Church Street and Campden Hill are narrow. The exact address and any porter entrance make the pickup considerably smoother.

Hotel, museum and residential pickups

We collect from the hotels around Kensington High Street, Gloucester Road and Cromwell Road as a matter of routine, and from the residential blocks and garden squares throughout the area. The museums on Exhibition Road and the Royal Albert Hall generate event work too — for those, tell us the entrance, since the surrounding roads close during large events.

Flight monitoring on every Kensington airport taxi

Give us the flight number and we watch it. Land early and the car is already there; get delayed and the pickup moves, with nothing extra to pay for the wait. The first hour after landing is included as standard.
