London Heathrow Airport to Welling: Route and Drive Time
Welling lies in south-east London, in the borough of Bexley, on the A207 between Eltham and Bexleyheath; Heathrow is beyond the western edge of the capital. Welling is 29 miles away, normally 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes. That is a long time for the distance, because most of the trip is urban driving across south London rather than motorway.
The A207 through Welling follows Watling Street, the Roman road from London into Kent, and the town's shops are strung along it. Danson Park, with its lake, is on the south-eastern side, East Wickham is to the north, and Falconwood, with its own station, is on the western edge towards Shooters Hill.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Your terminal, the street and the house number are what the booking needs.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport
Heathrow has four terminals in use, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, Swiss and other Star Alliance airlines use Terminal 2, British Airways almost all of Terminal 5, so 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. During the flight, 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.
Heathrow handled a record 84.5 million passengers in 2025, and long queues at passport control are possible at busy times. The car is planned around your landing, so take the formalities at your own pace.
Arriving at Your Address in Welling
Welling is mainly residential: houses and flats around the High Street, the streets of East Wickham and the roads leading to Danson Park. The station, north of the High Street, has Southeastern services that run through Lewisham into Charing Cross.
Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. If you live over one of the High Street shops, say where the street door is, as it may be round the back.
If you have flown in for treatment or to see a patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, about 4 miles from the centre of the town, give the hospital as the destination, and the car goes straight there from the terminal.
From Welling Back to London Heathrow Airport
Count the drive in hours on the road, not in clock time: 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 20 minutes, and more in the weekday rush. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
At Heathrow the four terminals are far apart, so put your departure terminal and flight number into the booking.
Two things in the area need extra margin. On match days, Welling United's supporters and visiting fans gather around Park View Road; and the two-day London Marathon of 24 and 25 April 2027 shuts streets in south-east London on both mornings. On those days, book an earlier pick-up.
