One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Terminal 2 to a house near Tooting Bec Common, Terminal 3 to a flat in Du Cane Court, or a home off the High Road to Terminal 4 for a flight to Paris. For arrivals, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: Terminal 5 to a mansion flat on Balham High Road at the start of a stay, and from Balham to your Heathrow terminal when it ends. For Wimbledon fortnight, cars in south-west London are taken early. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at LHR, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London Heathrow Airport to Balham: Route and Drive Time

From the Heathrow terminals to Balham is 18 miles, normally 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. The airport sits on the western edge of Greater London and Balham in its south-west, mostly in the borough of Wandsworth, so the whole ride stays within the capital and its suburbs.

Balham High Road, laid along the Roman Stane Street and now part of the A24, is the district's main street. The station, where the Northern line meets National Rail, stands on it; residential roads lead off on both sides, with Tooting Bec Common forming the eastern edge of the district.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Your terminal and the address, with the flat number for a mansion block, go in the booking.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport

In 2025 a record 84.5 million passengers passed through Heathrow's Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there. Heathrow does not allow pick-ups on the terminal forecourts; collections take place from the terminal car parks.

After you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Balham station serves the Northern line and National Rail trains, but neither goes to the airport, so a train home means at least one change with your cases; the rail station under Terminals 2 and 3 has also been closed since 25 June 2026.

Arriving at Your Address in Balham

Most of Balham falls within Wandsworth; a handful of its streets belong to Lambeth. Du Cane Court, the Art Deco block of the 1930s with 676 flats, is its best-known building, and Tooting Bec Common lies on the east side.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. In a mansion block, add the flat number and the entrance; for a house in one of the side streets, the number will do.

If you are moving into a flat in Balham and land with more than the usual luggage, list every case and box in the booking, so the right size of vehicle comes to the terminal.

From Balham Back to London Heathrow Airport

For the trip out, plan on 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes of driving on an ordinary day rather than a fixed hour on the clock, and leave more room in the weekday morning peak. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Copy the departure terminal from your e-ticket when you book. Terminal 4 has seen the latest change: since 23 June 2026 it has had no multi-storey car park, as the site is being redeveloped.

Two summer events affect this corner of London. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show runs on 18–22 May 2027, and the Wimbledon Championships, at the All England Club close to Balham, on 28 June – 11 July 2027. If you fly in or out in either week, book early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

How many miles is it from Heathrow to Balham?

Balham is 18 miles by road, normally 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, a ride that stays inside Greater London from start to finish.

My plane is running early. Will the car be ready?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so an early arrival is covered as well as a late one. Include the flight number in the booking.

How do I find the car at Heathrow?

Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules. Heathrow does not allow pick-ups on the terminal forecourts; collections take place from the terminal car parks. Terminal 4 has had a separate area since 23 June 2026.

Is Balham in the ULEZ?

Yes. Balham is in Wandsworth. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough around the clock. Heathrow, in Hillingdon, is covered as well, while Balham lies outside the Congestion Charge zone. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

We are six adults with large suitcases. What should we book?

For six adults and their cases, a van is the usual choice: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Enter every case in the booking, as the vehicle is matched to the load.

What do you need to know about Balham in 2026–2027?

Two 2027 events sit close to Balham: the flower show at Chelsea from 18 to 22 May, and the tennis Championships at Wimbledon from 28 June to 11 July. At Heathrow, the rail station serving Terminals 2 and 3 has been shut since 25 June 2026.
