Airport Transfers in Farnham Common
Fixed-price airport cars from Farnham Common, Farnham Royal and the Burnham Beeches edge, with the M4 and the M40 each only a few miles down the A355.
Why is Farnham Common so well placed for the airports?
Farnham Common sits on the A355 roughly halfway between two motorways: about four miles north of the M4 at Junction 6 and three miles south of the M40 at Junction 2. That means a driver can head south for Heathrow and Gatwick, or north for Luton and Stansted, without ever doubling back. Heathrow is 20–35 minutes away and is the right choice for most flights. Luton (50–65 minutes) suits budget short-haul trips, Gatwick is 75–90 minutes, Stansted 90–105 and London City 75–100.
The village of around 6,000 people is wrapped around the ancient beech woods of Burnham Beeches, the National Nature Reserve owned by the City of London Corporation, with Farnham Royal and its church of St Mary to the south. We collect from every SL2 3 address, from Beaconsfield Road through the middle of the village to the closes off Crown Lane and the hamlet of Egypt on the edge of the woods, at a fixed price agreed before the day.

Airport journey times from Farnham Common (SL2)
Off-peak estimates. The routes listed use the M40; for Heathrow and Gatwick the M4 from Junction 6 is usually the main road instead, and the times apply either way.
Which way do you go to Heathrow from Farnham Common, the M4 or the M40?
Usually the M4. The main route runs south down the A355 through Farnham Royal into Slough and joins the M4 at Junction 6. The alternative heads north up the A355 to the M40 at Junction 2, east to the M25 at Junction 16 and south from there. Our driver picks between them on the day, depending on which motorway is moving.
Farnham Common to Heathrow
From M4 Junction 6, Terminals 2 and 3 are a straight run east to Junction 4 and the airport spur. For Terminal 5, the car leaves at Junction 4B and follows the M25 to Junction 14. Allow 20–35 minutes. The Farnham Common to Heathrow taxi page goes into terminal-by-terminal detail.
Heathrow charges £7 each time a car goes into a terminal drop-off zone. It is cashless, recorded by camera and due by midnight the following day, and Heathrow's own free alternative is to be dropped at a Park & Ride car park and take the bus.
Farnham Common to Gatwick
M4 to Junction 4B, the M25 anticlockwise to Junction 7 and the M23 to Junction 9: 75–90 minutes. At Gatwick, dropping off costs £10 for up to 10 minutes, then £1 per minute, and no car may stay more than 30 minutes. Book the Farnham Common to Gatwick taxi.
Farnham Common to Luton and Stansted
For these the car heads north: A355 to M40 Junction 2, the M25 at Junction 16, then clockwise. Luton (50–65 minutes) is via the M1 from Junction 21 to Junction 10, where the Drop Off Zone is £9 for 12 minutes. Stansted (90–105 minutes) is via the M11 from Junction 27 to Junction 8, where the Express Set Down costs £10 for 15 minutes. Book Farnham Common to Luton or Farnham Common to Stansted.
Farnham Common to London City
75–100 minutes, following the A40 and crossing London to the A13 and the Royal Docks, or the M4 and A4 into town when that side is clearer. Book Farnham Common to London City.

What are the train options from Farnham Common?
Farnham Common has no station, but three are within a short drive, each on a different line:
- Slough and Burnham: Elizabeth line, with Slough also on Great Western Railway. For Heathrow, change at Hayes and Harlington; for Gatwick and Luton, stay on to Farringdon for Thameslink; for Stansted, stay on to Liverpool Street
- Gerrards Cross: Chiltern Railways to London Marylebone
- Beaconsfield: Chiltern Railways to Marylebone, with fast trains in around 25 minutes
From here the Elizabeth line is the best rail option for most airports, because it runs through central London without a change. Even so, it means a lift to Slough or Burnham, and for Heathrow a change of train only a few miles from the airport. The car is the simpler choice for Heathrow in particular. We run the station hops too, to Gerrards Cross for the Chiltern line and to Burnham and Slough for the Elizabeth line.
