Airport Transfers from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Norwood

One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Terminal 2 to a flat on Knight's Hill, Terminal 3 to the gates of West Norwood Cemetery, or a house near West Norwood station to Terminal 5 after an early lunch. For your landing, 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: from Terminal 5 to a relative's house off Norwood Road for a family service, and back to Heathrow on the morning after. December bookings in Lambeth go fast. 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 Norwood: Route and Drive Time

Norwood, in this case West Norwood in the London Borough of Lambeth, lies in south London on the hills towards Crystal Palace. From the Heathrow terminals to Norwood the drive is 21 miles, normally 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, east across Wandsworth and Streatham.

Within Norwood, Norwood Road and Knight's Hill make up the local high street, and West Norwood Cemetery stands on Norwood Road. South Norwood and Upper Norwood are separate parts of the wider area, further east towards Croydon and Crystal Palace, so the right postcode decides where the car goes.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. If you are travelling for a service at the cemetery, give the time of the service as well as the address.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport

Flights at Heathrow arrive at Terminal 2, 3, 4 or 5, and the terminals are far apart; 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 each arrival, 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.

Relatives flying from different countries can land at different terminals; a British Airways passenger comes into Terminal 5, a Lufthansa passenger usually into Terminal 2. Book each arrival with its own flight number and terminal.

Arriving at Your Address in Norwood

The cemetery dates from 1837 and belongs to the group of seven great Victorian burial grounds around London; its crematorium is still in use. Local drama is staged by the South London Theatre in a former fire station, and the name Norwood is a reminder of the ancient woodland that grew on these slopes.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. Tell us which cemetery gate or the crematorium chapel you need; on the hill roads, add the house number.

West Norwood is outside the Congestion Charge zone, which ends several miles to the north.

From Norwood Back to London Heathrow Airport

Count on 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes for the drive from Norwood to Heathrow, and allow more on a weekday morning, when the route through Streatham and Wandsworth is at its slowest. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Put the departure terminal in the booking, and the car takes you to that terminal.

The Feast, a street market held on the first Sunday of the month between April and December, takes over the centre of West Norwood; it has two dates left in 2026, 1 November and 6 December. Crystal Palace FC home matches at Selhurst Park, in South Norwood, also bring crowds to the area. On those days, leave earlier.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Heathrow to West Norwood: how long in the car?

From the Heathrow terminals to Norwood it is 21 miles, normally 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes by car. Give the flight number and the full address, including the postcode, when you book.

We land at Heathrow on the morning of a funeral. What if the flight is late?

The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car is there when you actually arrive. Give the time of the service in the booking, and choose a flight that leaves a margin before it.

Where do I go after baggage reclaim at Heathrow?

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.

Is West Norwood in the ULEZ?

Yes. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough around the clock. The Congestion Charge does not reach West Norwood: its boundary is well to the north, at the Elephant & Castle. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

Mourners are coming from abroad on different flights. What should we reserve?

Reserve a separate transfer for each flight, with its flight number and terminal. Where several people land together, one Sprinter van holds as many as 12. Include the address and time of the service so the pick-ups can be planned around it.

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

Parliament's scrutiny of the draft Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement runs until 26 November 2026. In Norwood, the West Norwood Feast market has two more dates in 2026, 1 November and 6 December; the 2027 dates had not been published by October 2026.
