Route guide

A planned transfer from Birmingham

A private transfer from Birmingham to Heathrow provides a direct alternative to changing between city transport and a London airport connection. It can begin at a city-centre hotel, business address or home in districts such as Edgbaston, Harborne, Moseley or Yardley.

Central stopping restrictions and the distance between Birmingham neighbourhoods make precise pickup instructions important. The correct Heathrow terminal must also be supplied so the final approach and collection guidance match the journey.

A Birmingham city-centre starting point is approximately 105–120 miles from Heathrow and typically around 2 hours–3 hours by road. The actual district, terminal, traffic and any agreed stops determine the real journey.
