Richmond is a sought-after riverside borough in south-west London, known for its park, the Thames and village feel. Heathrow is close to the west, making airport runs quick and direct. We provide fixed-fare transfers from Richmond, with executive cars available for business travel.
By road distance, Heathrow is usually the shortest run from Richmond, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, Richmond ranks 9th closest to Heathrow out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
Heathrow — about 9 miles (20–35 min by road); Richmond lies to the east of it.
London City — about 20 miles (30–50 min by road); Richmond lies to the west of it.
Gatwick — about 28 miles (45–70 min by road); Richmond lies to the north-north-west of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Richmond lies to the south of it.
Stansted — about 45 miles (60–90 min by road); Richmond lies to the south-west of it.
Southend — about 55 miles (65–105 min by road); Richmond lies to the west of it.
One rule marks a minicab out from a black cab: you cannot wave one down. Every journey is pre-arranged, and the driver and vehicle both require a separate private hire licence to work legally. Booking through Airportmove reflects exactly that — your fare and pickup time are confirmed in advance, and a licensed driver meets you at the time agreed, never hailed on the road. In Richmond specifically, Heathrow is the closest of the six by road — roughly 9 miles away, with Richmond lying to the east of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Richmond reaches every London airport just as reliably.
Weekday rush hours are the main thing to plan around for Richmond, since the main approach roads get busy with commuters as well as airport traffic. An early-morning or early-evening weekday trip is worth a little extra buffer; things generally ease off in the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays. The fare stays fixed regardless of which of these you land in.
We confirm where your driver will meet you well before travel day, and for airport connections the flight is tracked so the pickup follows your actual landing time. The normal airport routine still sits either side of the drive — check-in and security if you are departing, passport control and baggage reclaim if you are arriving — and both are covered by the waiting time built into the fare.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.
Most Richmond bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
