Getting Around Raynes Park
Raynes Park, a residential district of Merton borough, stands on the A3 and on the South Western Railway line into Waterloo. It lies just west of Wimbledon and borders New Malden; Motspur Park station, on the line towards Epsom and Chessington, serves both sides of that border.
For a pick-up from a private house, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop.
From Raynes Park station, trains run to Waterloo, Wimbledon and the Surrey towns to the south. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
The A3 leads to Kingston in one direction and towards the M25 in the other. For a day of property viewings or school visits across Merton and Kingston, book by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in Raynes Park
Heathrow is 16 miles from Raynes Park, 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. It handled a record 84.5 million passengers in 2025 and flies from Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Gatwick is 32 miles, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. London City Airport is 17 miles, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes, because the route crosses London from west to east. Luton Airport is 59 miles, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, and Stansted Airport 46 miles, 2 hours 5 minutes to 2 hours 55 minutes. The right one depends on your airline and route.
Book with your flight number. When the plane lands, 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 Raynes Park, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: an early flight from City Airport needs a much earlier start than one from Heathrow. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Groups & Event Travel in Raynes Park
Two big events of 2027 are close by. Epsom Downs has Oaks Day on 4 June and Derby Day on 5 June, and the Wimbledon Championships fill the end of June and early July. Wimbledon is 2 miles away, 15–20 minutes by car.
If a group of friends is going racing together, 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 guests arrive on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early around Derby Day and the tennis. 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.
