The drive from Barnet to Heathrow
The fastest route is normally north to the M25 at junction 23 (South Mimms) and anticlockwise to junction 16/15, though at quiet times your driver may use the A1 and North Circular (A406) to the A40 and M4.
Off-peak, the journey usually takes around 42 minutes. In the weekday morning rush (roughly 6:30–9:30am) or on a Friday afternoon, allow up to 1 hour. Late-night and very early pickups are the quickest of all – often close to 40 minutes.
Which Heathrow terminal?
We drop off and collect at Terminal 2, Terminal 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. Terminals 2 and 3 share the central area reached through the airport tunnel, while Terminals 4 and 5 have their own separate approaches, so it helps to tell us your terminal when you book. If you are not sure, give us your flight number and we will check it for you.
Taxi or public transport from Barnet?
By public transport you would take the Northern line into central London and change for the Piccadilly or Elizabeth line – usually around 1 hour 30 minutes with luggage and at least one change.
| Onward taxi | Train / Tube | Driving and parking | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door to door | Yes | No | No – shuttle from car park |
| Typical time | 42 minutes – 1 hour | See above | Drive plus parking transfer |
| Luggage | Loaded for you | Carried through stations | Carried from the car park |
| Cost | Fixed, per vehicle | Per person | Fuel plus daily parking |
| Early / late flights | Any time, 24/7 | Limited first and last trains | Yes |
For one person with a small bag, the train can be cheaper. For couples, families, anyone with heavy luggage or an early flight, a fixed-price taxi is usually the easier option – and the price is for the car, not per passenger.
Barnet areas we cover
Barnet covers High Barnet, New Barnet, Chipping Barnet and Arkley on the northern edge of London, with Barnet Hospital and plenty of family homes. Heathrow is on the opposite side of the capital, so a pre-booked car saves a long cross-London Tube journey.
We collect from any address in EN4, EN5, including:
- High Barnet and Chipping Barnet
- New Barnet and East Barnet
- Arkley
- Hadley Wood
- Barnet Hospital
Hotels, offices, hospitals and train stations are all fine – just give us the exact pickup point and any access notes.
When to leave Barnet for your flight
