Airport Transfers from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Crayford

One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Terminal 3 to a house by the River Cray, Terminal 2 to an office on a Crayford trading estate, or a home near Crayford station to Terminal 5 for a lunchtime flight. Whenever you land, 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: Crayford to Terminal 3 for a family holiday in the sun and home from Terminal 3 when you land, or a hotel near Bluewater to Terminal 5 after a business visit and back on your next trip. Holiday dates are known well ahead, so both legs can be settled at once. 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 Crayford: Route and Drive Time

Crayford, on the little River Cray, is the last London town before Kent, and Heathrow is at the far western end of the capital. The drive to Crayford is 32 miles, normally 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. With the A2 just to the south and the M25 a short way east, the car can approach either from the London side or off the motorway.

The town itself is compact. Homes line the streets on both banks of the Cray, and trading estates and retail parks spread along Crayford Way; the old Vickers works, which built aircraft and machine guns early in the twentieth century, are part of the town's history. If your address is near the Dartford end, mention it, as the county boundary runs just to the east.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Name your terminal and the full address when you reserve.

London Heathrow Airport to Crayford: Route and Drive Time

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport

Heathrow has four terminals: 2, 3, 4 and 5. Terminal 3 is home to Virgin Atlantic, Delta, Emirates and other oneworld long-haul carriers, while almost all British Airways flights use Terminal 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. Ahead of your landing, 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.

If passport control is slow after a night flight from North America or the Gulf, take your time; the pick-up follows the moment the aircraft touches down, not a fixed minute.

Arriving at Your Address in Crayford

Crayford station, the last stop in London before Dartford, sits in the middle of the town, and its Southeastern services head west via Sidcup and Lewisham towards London Bridge.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a unit on a trading estate, add the company name and the unit number, since one entrance can serve many businesses.

If you are booked into a hotel near Bluewater, about 8 miles from Crayford, give the hotel name; the car takes you there directly, without a detour through the town centre.

From Crayford Back to London Heathrow Airport

Plan by journey length, not by the clock: 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes on a normal day, and longer when the M25 or the roads through south London are congested. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Check which terminal you leave from. Terminals 4 and 5 stand on their own, well away from 2 and 3, so the right one in the booking saves a transfer at the airport.

Around Christmas and the start of the school summer holidays, local vehicles and drivers are booked up early. For those dates, reserve the drive to Heathrow as soon as your tickets are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How far is Crayford from Heathrow Airport?

By road, Crayford is 32 miles, normally 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes by car from the terminals, depending on traffic through south London or on the M25. Add your terminal and address to the booking.

What if our long-haul flight to Heathrow is diverted or rescheduled?

Let us know the new flight number in the booking. For delays on the same flight nothing needs changing: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time.

Will my driver be waiting outside the terminal doors at Heathrow?

No. Heathrow does not allow pick-ups on the terminal forecourts; collections take place from the terminal car parks. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Which railway station serves Crayford?

Crayford station, which is the final London stop before Dartford on the Southeastern route via Sidcup. Heathrow has no direct train to it, so a rail trip means at least one change in central London.

Five of us, plus a fortnight's worth of suitcases: what vehicle suits?

Five passengers with large cases may need a bigger vehicle. Enter the number of bags in the booking form; for golf bags, bikes or other bulky items, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load. A Sprinter van seats up to 12 if the cases are many.

What do you need to know about London Heathrow Airport in 2026–2027?

The railway station under Terminals 2 and 3 shut on 25 June 2026, leaving trains only at Terminals 4 and 5. Heathrow is consulting airlines on a possible reshuffle of terminals, so look at your ticket shortly before flying. In Crayford itself, greyhound racing ended in January 2025, and the stadium site has been offered for sale.
