One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Terminal 2 to a home near Oakleigh Park station, Terminal 4 to Barnet Hospital for a family visit, or a house off Totteridge Lane to Terminal 5 for a midday departure. For arrivals, 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: Terminal 3 to a house in Totteridge when grandparents arrive for the summer, and back to Terminal 3 when they fly home, or Terminal 5 to a flat on the High Road for a fortnight's visit and out to Heathrow at the end of it. 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 Whetstone: Route and Drive Time

Whetstone lies in the north of the borough of Barnet, on the A1000 High Road, which follows the line of the old Great North Road. Heathrow is at the other end of the capital, out to the west, and the drive between them is 21 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, through the north-western suburbs.

For the last part the car joins the High Road. Totteridge lies to the west of it, with quiet closes off Totteridge Lane, and Oakleigh Park, with its own railway station, lies to the east, so the side of the High Road you live on changes the final turns.

Journey times vary with traffic and weather. If you land towards the end of the school day, the High Road may add a few minutes to the drive.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport

Heathrow handled a record 84.5 million passengers in 2025 across four 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.

At peak hours, with traffic on that scale, the queue at passport control or the wait for bags can be long at peak hours. There is no need to hurry for the car: the pick-up is planned from the landing, and relatives flying in to see family in Whetstone can collect their cases first.

Arriving at Your Address in Whetstone

Whetstone is a residential district, and a ride from Heathrow usually ends at a home: a flat above the shops on the High Road, a house in Totteridge or a road near Oakleigh Park station.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. If the house is in a close off Totteridge Lane, include the house name too.

Whetstone is also close to two useful landmarks. The artsdepot arts centre at Tally Ho Corner is a short drive south, and Barnet Hospital is a short way up the Great North Road, so family members coming to see someone in hospital can go straight there from the terminal.

From Whetstone Back to London Heathrow Airport

Allow 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes from Whetstone to the terminals, longer in the weekday rush. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

The departure terminal belongs in the booking. As a rule, Terminal 3 serves Virgin Atlantic and other long-haul carriers, Terminal 4 the SkyTeam airlines and Terminal 5 British Airways; the car drives to the one you name.

Families flying out at the start of half-term or the summer holidays should leave a wider margin, as the first day of a school break can bring heavier traffic on the way to the airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Heathrow to Whetstone: what drive time should I expect?

By road, Whetstone is 21 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes from the terminals. The route goes round the north-western suburbs, not through central London.

Our relatives' flight to Heathrow may be delayed. Do we need to change the booking?

No. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so a late arrival is covered. Make sure the flight number is in the booking.

Where at Heathrow do we meet the chauffeur?

At the terminal printed on the ticket. 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 Tube station serves Whetstone?

Totteridge & Whetstone, a zone 4 Northern line stop on the branch that ends at High Barnet. On the eastern side of the district, Oakleigh Park station is on the main line instead. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.

Can twelve family members from one flight travel in a single vehicle?

Yes. A Sprinter van seats up to 12 with their suitcases; for more people, a coach is used. Child seats are requested in the booking form: choose a booster or an infant and child safety seat and the number you need.

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

Since 25 June 2026 no trains have stopped at the station under Terminals 2 and 3; rail passengers from those terminals go to Terminal 4 or 5 first. Heathrow is also looking again at which airline uses which terminal, so check the ticket shortly before you fly.
