London Heathrow Airport to Wimbledon: Route and Drive Time
Heathrow lies at the far west of the capital on the north side of the Thames, while Wimbledon belongs to Merton, in the south-west of the capital. The ride from the terminals to Wimbledon town centre is 17 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. It does not go through central London: the car heads south-east across the outer suburbs and crosses the river on the way.
Which part of Wimbledon you are going to shapes the last stretch. The town centre and the station lie at the foot of the hill, with the New Wimbledon Theatre on the Broadway. Wimbledon Village and the Common are up the hill to the west, and the All England Club sits on Church Road, by Wimbledon Park. AFC Wimbledon's ground at Plough Lane is a different approach again.
Journey times vary with traffic and weather. Name your landing terminal and the full SW19 address, postcode included, in the booking.
Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Heathrow Airport
Four Heathrow terminals are in use, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and the airline decides which one is yours. Visitors coming from North America for the tennis may land at Terminal 3, home to Virgin Atlantic, Delta and American Airlines, or at Terminal 5 with British Airways. 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. At Terminals 2, 3 and 5, the terminal car park is about a two-minute walk from the doors.
Once you are in the air, 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. Passport queues in the tennis season do not change that: SW19 can wait while you clear the hall.
Arriving at Your Address in Wimbledon
Wimbledon has several centres. Around the station are the shops of the Broadway and the offices of the town; the Village on the hill has its own high street, restaurants and large houses facing the Common; Wimbledon Park lies to the north-east, beside the tennis grounds.
During the tournament, temporary traffic measures go up on the streets next to the tennis grounds. If your rented house or hotel is near Church Road or in the Village during the tournament, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.
Outside those two weeks, the drop-off is simpler. A flat near the station, a guest house off the Broadway or a family home near the Common are all reached directly from the main roads.
From Wimbledon Back to London Heathrow Airport
Work backwards from your departure time: the ride from SW19 to the Heathrow terminals lasts 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes when traffic is normal. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Which terminal you fly from changes the end of the ride: Terminal 5 lies furthest west, Terminal 4 to the south, and Terminals 2 and 3 between them. Add yours to the reservation.
The 2027 tennis fortnight at the All England Club is 28 June to 11 July. Throughout it, a departure from the Village or from a house close to the grounds needs extra margin, because traffic around Church Road builds up before and after play.
