Getting Around West Wickham
West Wickham, a quiet suburb of houses and woods, lies in the London Borough of Bromley on the A232 between Croydon and Orpington, and it was a Kent parish until 1965. To the south the houses give way to woodland: West Wickham Common and Spring Park are looked after by the City of London Corporation as open spaces. Shirley is 1 mile west, 10–15 minutes, just across the boundary with the borough of Croydon.
West Wickham station and Hayes station, at the end of the line, both lie on the Hayes line, with Southeastern trains into central London via Lewisham. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. If a day combines a hospital appointment, shopping in Bromley and a visit to relatives in Croydon, reserve it by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in West Wickham
London City Airport is 14 miles from West Wickham, 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. Gatwick is 26 miles south, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, and Heathrow 27 miles west, 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours. Southend Airport is 43 miles, 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours, and Stansted Airport 55 miles, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes; Stansted handled 29.76 million passengers in 2025. Biggin Hill, to the south, has a business-aviation airport but no airline flights. 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. For a departure from West Wickham, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: Stansted Airport is twice as far as Gatwick, yet the M25 makes the two drives similar on a clear day, and one hold-up on the motorway changes that. 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 West Wickham
Biggin Hill, with its RAF memorial museum, is 5 miles south, 20–30 minutes. Epsom, where the Derby is run, is 14 miles west, 45 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes.
Kent is close by. Maidstone, the county town, is 32 miles, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. Whitstable, on the north coast and known for oysters, is 57 miles, 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes.
For a longer day, Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill near Woodstock in Oxfordshire, is 93 miles, 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes. Out and back in one day, reserve hourly and the chauffeur stays with you; one way only, you are set down at the palace or your hotel, and the return is a second booking.
Groups & Event Travel in West Wickham
If a golf society from West Wickham plays an away day at a course in Kent or Surrey, the clubs need as much room as the players. Enter the number of bags in the booking form; for golf bags, bikes or other bulky items, tell support so the vehicle is matched to the load. For eight players with full bags, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats.
When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If family come for a celebration on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early at Christmas, when the pantomime season at Bromley's Churchill Theatre adds evening trips. 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.
