London Heathrow Airport to Hendon: Route and Drive Time
Hendon belongs to Barnet, the borough on London's north-western rim, and Heathrow is south-west of it, across the western suburbs. The ride is 18 miles, normally 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes.
Hendon sits at a meeting point of main roads: the M1 begins at its edge, the A41 runs through it and the A406 North Circular passes along its southern side by Brent Cross Shopping Centre. Coming from Heathrow, the North Circular is the usual way in, and its queues decide much of the journey time.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. For an address on the campus or near the museum, give the building name too.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport
Heathrow works with 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.
For arrivals, 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 you are starting a new term in Hendon with a year's belongings, the Underground with two suitcases is hard work. Since 25 June 2026 the station beneath Terminals 2 and 3 has been closed, which makes the rail option even less practical with heavy cases.
Arriving at Your Address in Hendon
Middlesex University has its Hendon campus in the former Hendon Technical Institute, and student halls and shared houses are spread across the district. Where aircraft once took off at Colindale, the site now holds the national RAF Museum next to the college where the Metropolitan Police train recruits.
Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a hall of residence, add the block or house name, as a large site can have several entrances.
Hendon Central, on the Northern line, and Hendon station, on Thameslink, are useful landmarks if you are staying in a flat nearby and the street is hard to find.
From Hendon Back to London Heathrow Airport
Plan the return as a drive of 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes along the North Circular, and leave more time on weekday evenings. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Put the terminal on your ticket into the booking. Students flying with a Star Alliance member are often sent to Terminal 2, yet Heathrow has the airline-to-terminal map under review, so go by what the ticket says.
On Saracens home match days at Copthall, traffic around Hendon can be heavier, so add margin if you fly out that afternoon or evening.
