Getting Around Cobham
Cobham is a town in the borough of Elmbridge, Surrey, on the River Mole, close to where the A3 meets the M25 at Junction 10. Painshill, an 18th-century landscape garden, lies on the western edge of the town, and RHS Garden Wisley, the Royal Horticultural Society's flagship garden, is 5 miles away, 15–20 minutes by car.
Chelsea FC's training ground, the Cobham Training Centre, is at Stoke d'Abernon on the north-east side. Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon station, also there, has trains to London Waterloo. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
If the house you are visiting is on a private estate road, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go.
A day that takes in a meeting off the A3, lunch in Esher and a client in Kingston is easy on an hourly booking: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in Cobham
Heathrow is the nearest airport, 20 miles north via the M25, 40–55 minutes by car; it carried a record 84.5 million passengers in 2025. Gatwick is 31 miles south-east, 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. London City Airport is also 31 miles, 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes, as that route runs across the capital. Luton Airport is 49 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Southampton Airport is 64 miles down the M3, 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 50 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 Cobham, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: Junction 10 is on the doorstep, and the M25 stretch north to Heathrow is what sets the timing. 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 Cobham
Claremont Landscape Garden, the National Trust garden at Esher, is 3 miles, 10–15 minutes. Hampton Court Palace is 7 miles north, 25–35 minutes.
Windsor is 19 miles, 40–55 minutes, near enough for a morning at the castle. Henley-on-Thames is 37 miles, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes; rowing crews gather there for the Royal Regatta, 29 June – 4 July 2027. Stonehenge is 71 miles west, 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 55 minutes.
Choose an hourly booking when you are coming back the same day, so the same chauffeur takes you both ways. A one-way journey goes to the address you give, and the trip back is a separate reservation.
Groups, Events & Racing in Cobham
Sandown Park racecourse, in Esher, is 4 miles from Cobham, 20–30 minutes. The Tingle Creek Festival runs there on 4–5 December 2026, and the Coral-Eclipse on Saturday 3 July 2027. For a racing party of ten, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; 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 owners or guests fly in on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early for big race days at Sandown and the week of Henley Regatta. 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.
