Transfers from London Heathrow Airport to Cambridge

About this transfer

From London Heathrow Airport the car joins the orbital motorway that circles London, follows it around the west and north of the city, and then takes the motorway north across the flat country of Essex and the edge of Hertfordshire into Cambridgeshire. Cambridge arrives out of the fields: the colleges, the river Cam with its lawns and bridges, and a centre where traffic is limited and bikes are everywhere. That centre matters for the drop-off. Many hotels sit within it or on its edge, and the driver may need to approach from a particular side, so give the full name and the postcode. Enter the flight number and the terminal, count the bags, and set the pickup time with passport control and baggage reclaim added to the landing. The colleges, the Backs along the river, punting from the bridges and the Fitzwilliam Museum fill a visit; the science parks to the north draw the business travellers. Cambridge's hotels are further down the page. For the way back, search the Cambridge to London Heathrow Airport leg with a pickup time that allows for the loop round London and the airline's check-in rules.
