Putney sits on the south bank of the Thames in south-west London, a smart riverside suburb known for rowing and its bridge. Heathrow is a quick run to the west along the A3 and A4. We provide fixed-fare minicabs and airport transfers from Putney with room for your luggage.
By road distance, Heathrow is usually the shortest run from Putney, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, Putney ranks 20th closest to Heathrow out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
Heathrow — about 14 miles (35–55 min by road); Putney lies to the east of it.
London City — about 17 miles (25–40 min by road); Putney lies to the west-south-west of it.
Gatwick — about 28 miles (45–70 min by road); Putney lies to the north of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Putney lies to the south-south-east of it.
Stansted — about 45 miles (55–85 min by road); Putney lies to the south-west of it.
Southend — about 50 miles (60–95 min by road); Putney lies to the west of it.
One rule marks a minicab out from a black cab: you cannot wave one down. Every journey is pre-arranged, and the driver and vehicle both require a separate private hire licence to work legally. Booking through Airport Move reflects exactly that — your fare and pickup time are confirmed in advance, and a licensed driver meets you at the time agreed, never hailed on the road. In Putney specifically, Heathrow is the closest of the six by road — roughly 14 miles away, with Putney lying to the east of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Putney reaches every London airport just as reliably.
the main approach roads are at their busiest on weekday mornings and early evenings around Putney, as commuter traffic overlaps with airport and local trips. Early or late weekday journeys benefit from extra time in the schedule; quieter periods fall on evenings, weekends and school holidays. Whatever the traffic, your driver plans the route in advance and the fare does not change.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.
Most Putney bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
