Covent Garden and Leicester Square are both on the Piccadilly line direct to Heathrow, and Tottenham Court Road has the Elizabeth line. The Piccadilly line takes about an hour, and Covent Garden station itself is lift-only and busy at peak times.
By car the driver follows the Strand and Piccadilly round Hyde Park Corner and out along the Cromwell Road and M4.
By public transport: Piccadilly line from Covent Garden or Leicester Square direct to Heathrow, about 55–65 min. The catch is a busy central station and a long stopping ride with luggage. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 45 min, or 75 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of Covent Garden (WC2) the route runs along the Strand and Piccadilly, round Hyde Park Corner and out along the Cromwell Road and M4. Coming back from Heathrow the driver follows the M4 and Cromwell Road, Hyde Park Corner and Piccadilly back to WC2.

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall of your terminal (T2, T3, T4 or T5) holding a name board. The terminal is set from your flight number when you book.
The driver meets you in arrivals and brings you as close to your hotel or apartment as the streets allow. For the Piazza, that is usually a short walk from the kerb, and the driver helps with bags.
Central London traffic sets the pace. For long-haul flights, leave about three and a half hours before departure, a little more on weekday mornings.
Check-in guide for Heathrow Airport: three hours for long-haul, two and a half hours for Europe. Add 45 to 75 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Covent Garden is London's theatre and market quarter, from the Piazza and the Royal Opera House to Seven Dials, Long Acre and the Strand. It has a mix of hotels, serviced apartments and small flats above shops.
The Piazza and many surrounding streets are pedestrianised or have restricted access. We agree a pickup point on a street the car can reach, such as the Strand, Long Acre or Shaftesbury Avenue, and the driver meets you there.
We also cover nearby Soho, Holborn, Strand, Leicester Square, Bloomsbury, Aldwych, Charing Cross and Temple.
Local tip: Leaving after a matinee or evening show? Book the pickup for after the curtain and tell us the theatre. The driver waits on the nearest street the car can reach.
