‘Black Cab Heritage Tours’ is at your disposal for all of your London Airport Transfers requirements, to and from your centrally located hotel in the city.
We are fully aware of the traffic that can delay journeys to and from London’s airport terminal so we operate a fixed-price service to avoid costs spinning out of control from Heathrow or Gatwick airports.
- Heathrow Airport is the largest airport in the UK, handling over 80 million international passengers a year in 190 destinations. It is located in the West of the city at about 14 mi (23 km) from central London.
Our Professional Driver Guides have the world-famous ‘Knowledge of London’ and have no need for satellite navigation (very dangerous in a modern city) – and we are allowed to utilise the capital’s bus lanes for extra time efficiency.
We also provide a ‘meet and greet’ facility in all airport terminal pick-ups for our London Airport Transfers, along with the safe handling of your luggage.
IMPORTANT
Unlike a standard sedan or SUV, London Black Cabs do not have a traditional rear trunk (boot). Instead, they are engineered specifically for city efficiency and passenger accessibility.
Where does the luggage go?
Because there is no rear trunk, your suitcases will travel in two specific areas:
- The Front Compartment: Right next to the driver, where you would typically find a passenger seat in a normal car, there is a dedicated open luggage platform. This is perfect for large suitcases.
- The Passenger Cabin: The "passenger compartment" is incredibly spacious with a flat floor. Because of the "flip-down" occasional seats, there is ample room to keep suitcases right on the floor with you.
Capacity Note: While the cabs are spacious, we generally recommend a maximum of 3 to 4 large suitcases (plus carry-ons) for a comfortable 5-hour tour. If you have an unusually large amount of luggage, just let us know in advance!
