Southampton Airport to Central London
Price your transfer
What is included
- A private vehicle for your group. No sharing, no other stops.
- A fixed price with tolls and taxes in. Nothing is added at the end.
- Flight tracking. Land late and the pick-up moves, not the price.
- 60 minutes of free waiting after the flight lands.
- Free cancellation until 24 hours before pick-up.
- One suitcase and one bag per passenger. More than that, tell us when you book.
The journey
Just under two hours north-east on the M3. The train from Parkway is quicker for one person; the car wins for a family with cruise luggage.
Arriving at Southampton Airport
Southampton Airport is four miles from the city and a short drive from the cruise terminals, which is what most of its transfers are about. It also serves Winchester, the New Forest and the ferries to the Isle of Wight.
- For a cruise, tell us the terminal name — Ocean, Mayflower, QEII and Horizon are several kilometres apart.
- Winchester is twenty minutes away and has no airport of its own.
- The station is beside the terminal, which makes the train a real option for anyone travelling light.
How long it really takes
Maps says 112 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 142 to 187 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
