Wandsworth is a leafy south-west London borough covering Battersea, Putney, Balham and Tooting, popular with families and commuters. Journeys south to Gatwick and west to Heathrow are both straightforward. We collect door to door with estates and MPVs for extra luggage, all at a fixed fare.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Wandsworth, 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, Wandsworth ranks 35th closest to London City out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
London City — about 15 miles (25–40 min by road); Wandsworth lies to the west-south-west of it.
Heathrow — about 16 miles (25–40 min by road); Wandsworth lies to the east of it.
Gatwick — about 27 miles (45–70 min by road); Wandsworth lies to the north of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Wandsworth lies to the south-south-east of it.
Stansted — about 45 miles (55–85 min by road); Wandsworth lies to the south-south-west of it.
Southend — about 45 miles (60–95 min by road); Wandsworth lies to the west-south-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 Wandsworth specifically, London City is the closest of the six by road — roughly 15 miles away, with Wandsworth lying to the west-south-west of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Wandsworth reaches every London airport just as reliably.
Wandsworth sees its heaviest traffic on weekday mornings and early evenings, when the main approach roads are shared between commuters and airport travellers. If your journey falls in one of those windows, building in some extra time is sensible; outside them, and at weekends, the roads are typically quieter. Either way, the route is planned around the traffic on the day, not around a fixed schedule that ignores it.
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.
Groups and luggage are worth mentioning at booking rather than working out on the day: a saloon suits up to four people and two large cases comfortably, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater gives more room for extra bags, buggies or sports kit. School holidays and the summer season tend to bring more group and family travel on this kind of journey, so booking a little further ahead helps guarantee the right-sized vehicle at a time that suits you.
Most Wandsworth 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.
