London Heathrow Airport to Putney: Route and Drive Time
Putney faces the river from its southern side, in the south-west of London, east of Heathrow. From the airport terminals to Putney it is 15 miles, normally 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes, as the route heads into the city through the western suburbs.
The final part depends on your end of the district. Putney High Street climbs uphill from the bridge, and the South Circular crosses the district along the Upper Richmond Road. A flat on Putney Embankment, beside the rowing clubs, is reached by the river, while a house near Putney Heath lies further south, off the main roads.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. When you book, enter the arrival terminal and the full address, and name the rowing club if that is where you are going.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport
Your flight will use one of Heathrow's four terminals: 2, 3, 4 or 5. Heathrow does not allow pick-ups on the terminal forecourts; collections take place from the terminal car parks. Air France, KLM and other SkyTeam members generally use Terminal 4, where the multi-storey car park closed on 23 June 2026 and collections now take place in a separate area; give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there.
Once you have landed, 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 connected through Paris or Amsterdam, give the flight number of the last leg into Heathrow, not the first one.
Arriving at Your Address in Putney
Putney is part of the London Borough of Wandsworth and faces Fulham across the river, with Putney Bridge linking the two. The river by the bridge is where the Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge begins, and the clubhouses of several rowing clubs stand along the Embankment.
Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a mansion block or a new riverside building, add the block name and the entrance.
If you have come to row or to coach, you can go from the terminal to your accommodation first, and the club can wait until the bags are unpacked.
From Putney Back to London Heathrow Airport
Judge the ride back by its length rather than the hour: 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes in normal traffic; the westbound roads out of London add to that on weekday mornings. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
The terminal on your ticket is where the car pulls in. Before you book, check whether your airline flies from Terminal 4 or from one of the other three.
The Boat Race starts by Putney Bridge, and spectators gather along the river on race day. If you fly that weekend, check the race date on the official website and choose a pick-up time away from the start.
