Getting Around Camberwell
Camberwell lies between Peckham and Brixton, in the London Borough of Southwark. Two large hospitals stand on Denmark Hill: King's College Hospital, a major teaching hospital, and the Maudsley Hospital, which specialises in mental health. Camberwell College of Arts, part of the University of the Arts London, has its main building on Peckham Road.
Camberwell has had no railway station of its own since 1916. The nearest is Denmark Hill, in Travelcard Zone 2, served by the London Overground Windrush line, Southeastern and Thameslink, and it stands opposite King's College Hospital. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
For a hospital appointment, name the building or entrance as well as the street. Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. A day with an appointment in the morning and visits to family in the afternoon can be reserved by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in Camberwell
London City Airport is 9 miles from Camberwell, 40–55 minutes. Heathrow is 19 miles west, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes; it handled 84.5 million passengers in 2025 across Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Gatwick is 29 miles south, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes, Luton Airport 36 miles, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes, and Stansted Airport 41 miles, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes. The right one depends on your airline and route.
Book with your flight number. For an arrival, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur. Heathrow does not allow pick-ups on the terminal forecourts; collections take place from the terminal car parks. For a departure from Camberwell, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: the way to Heathrow leads through Vauxhall and west London, and the morning rush adds to it. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Long-Distance & Day-Trip Travel from Camberwell
Camberwell lies close to the centre. Westminster, with Parliament and the Abbey, is 3 miles, 20–30 minutes. Clapham, with its common, is 3 miles west, 20–30 minutes.
For a longer outing, Windsor and its castle are 25 miles west, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Oxford, the university city, is 65 miles, 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours 25 minutes. The Cotswolds, with stone villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water, are 88 miles away, 2 hours 25 minutes to 3 hours 10 minutes, a trip best planned for a whole day.
Booked by the hour, one car and chauffeur stay with you from the morning start in Camberwell to the return in the evening. If you only need to get there, a single journey ends at the address in Oxford or the Cotswolds, and the return is booked separately.
Groups & Event Travel in Camberwell
A new academic year at Camberwell College of Arts is one reason a family travels together. For a student moving into halls with parents and boxes, or an art department heading out on a study trip, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; easels and portfolios take space too, so mention them and the vehicle is matched to the load.
When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If relatives fly in for a graduation on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early around the start of the university term in September. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.
