Airport transfers from Balham
Balham sits on the Northern line with National Rail alongside it, which makes central London easy — but neither line goes to an airport, and both mean stairs, changes and your luggage. A pre-booked minicab goes from your door to the terminal in one leg.

Booking an airport transfer in Balham
Balham is well placed for the south-western road network: the A24 runs north into town and south towards the M25, and Heathrow is reached across south-west London rather than through the centre. For early departures, book the night before rather than on the morning — pre-dawn pickups are the first thing to get busy.
For an airport pickup, add your flight number when you book so the driver can follow your arrival. Our guide to arrivals and waiting time explains how long clearing a terminal usually takes, and our fixed-price transfer guide covers what an all-in price includes.
