alt_routeTrain, two-bus link and car, all compared

A taxi from Bromley in BR1 and BR2 to Heathrow is a fixed-price journey of 27.1 miles by road, around 55 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the hour. Fares start at £66 in a saloon (up to 4 people, 3 cases) and run to £95 in an Executive MPV — both ways, £7 Heathrow drop-off included and locked at booking.

Three modes reach Heathrow from this town, and we cover them all before we sell you one. There is a train from Bromley South, one or two changes, £16.50 off-peak — cheaper than us for one to three passengers. There is a two-bus link from Bromley North via West Croydon, £1.75 on the hopper fare, about three hours — cheaper than us at every group size. And there is the car. First, though — because three separate places share the name Bromley — one short section on which of them this page prices. Last reviewed: 3 August 2026.

Which Bromley This Page Is About

A quote for the wrong Bromley is worse than no quote at all. Give us a postcode when you book and the question never arises.

This page prices this one

Bromley, BR1 and BR2 · London Borough of Bromley

The town itself — the High Street, The Glades, Bromley Market, and the two railway stations at either end of the town. If that is where you are, every fare and every timing below applies to you.

Bromley Common, Shortlands and Bickley sit in the same pair of postcodes and are priced the same way.

Somewhere else entirely

Bromley-by-Bow, E3 · London Borough of Tower Hamlets

A tube station on the District and Hammersmith & City lines in fare zones 2 and 3, roughly eight miles north of here, across the river.

It opened on 31 March 1858 as plain "Bromley" and was renamed on 18 May 1967 for exactly the reason you are reading this paragraph — to stop it being confused with the stations in this borough.

If you are starting from there, ask us for a quote from your own postcode. It is a shorter journey at a different price.

Not a third town

Bromley South · the main station of this Bromley

Bromley South is the main railway station of the Bromley this page covers, sitting in BR1 a few minutes' walk from the middle of the High Street.

A pickup there costs exactly what a pickup anywhere else in the town costs.

Saloon and estate

A saloon is £66 for up to four people and three large cases. It fits four adults with cabin luggage comfortably, and four adults with three full-size suitcases with a bit of care. If that third figure looks tight for what you are carrying, the estate at £68 is a small step up for a much larger boot — most of the difference is the vehicle rather than the mileage.

Five to eight seats

Five or six travelling together are usually better off in one MPV than two cars. MPV5 £72, MPV6 £75 with room for five bags. Seven and eight-seaters are the MPV7 at £81 and the MPV8 Mercedes Vito at £83 — the only vehicles that legally seat that many. Eight in one MPV8 works out at £10.38 a head, genuinely competitive against public transport at that size.

Executive

The Executive saloon (Mercedes E-Class) is £83, seating three in extra comfort with two cases. The Executive MPV (Mercedes V-Class) is £95, seating six with five cases — the flagship for corporate accounts, wedding-party trips, and any journey where the extra height and finish is worth the step up from £75.

What is in it, and what changes it

Included: the drive both ways, the driver's time, luggage help at the kerb, and on inbound journeys meet-and-greet inside Arrivals with a name-board plus 60 minutes' complimentary waiting. Excluded: nothing. The £7 forecourt fee is in the number we quote; the £12.50 ULEZ never arises because our fleet is compliant; the Congestion Charge does not apply.

Before it is confirmed, a quote can change with the exact BR1/BR2 postcode, the vehicle class, a child seat (free either direction) or a corporate account. After it is confirmed: nothing.

SL5 + SL7 · £1.75 on the hopper · about three hours

The Two-Bus Link to Heathrow for £1.75

There is a way from Bromley to Heathrow on two buses, and few travel guides mention it. We do — because it matters, and because leaving it out would be dishonest.

SL5 · Bromley North to West Croydon

Operated by Arriva London, launched 3 February 2024. Runs from Bromley North through Bromley South station on to West Croydon, every 12 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, every 15 on Sundays, calling at Shortlands, Park Langley, Eden Park, West Wickham and Shirley.

Note the terminus. SL5 starts at Bromley North — the station with no direct London trains. If you are told to "get the bus from Bromley station", that is the station you want, not the busier one half a mile south.

SL7 · West Croydon to Heathrow Central

Operated by London General, began 19 August 2023 in place of the old X26 and descending from route 726. Straight through to Heathrow Central bus station: 23.75 miles in 1 hour 42 minutes — the longest bus route in London. Every 8 to 20 minutes in the daytime.

A proposal to cut SL7 back to Sutton was dropped on 30 May 2025, so the airport link is safe for now. We check it again every six months.

What the hopper fare covers

Board the second bus within one hour of touching in on the first and the whole thing costs £1.75 — one hopper price for two buses. Miss that window and you pay twice: £3.50. Either way the daily cap is £5.55.

The fare rises to £1.85 on 1 November 2026 when the current freeze ends, taking the two-bus worst case to £3.70. We will update these figures when it moves.

How the arithmetic actually lands — and it does not land our way

Against the worst case of £3.50 a head, with the hopper window missed:

7£24.50MPV7£81£56.50
8£28.00MPV8£83£55.00

It never turns over

The tightest the gap ever gets is £50.50 at five passengers, and on the £1.75 hopper fare it is wider still. If you are travelling light, with hours to spare and no early check-in, take the buses. What a car buys you instead is the three hours back, a door-to-door run with luggage in the boot, a departure time you choose, and a drop at the terminal on your booking. That is the honest case for us here — not price.

Bromley South · zone 5 · 103 trains a day on this connection

Taking the Train from Bromley South

For one, two or three people travelling light, the train is often the right answer — and this is the honest version of it.

The station itself

Opened November 1858, built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. 4 platforms, fare zone 5, and 10 miles 71 chains out from London Victoria. Southeastern and Thameslink both serve it, with 8 trains an hour to Victoria and 2 an hour to Blackfriars. Neighbours on the line are Shortlands and Bickley.

Where you change

One or two changes — most commonly at London Victoria, Farringdon or London Paddington, with the final leg on the Elizabeth line to Terminals 2 and 3, 4 or 5. An alternative underground routing runs Bromley South → Victoria → District line to Gloucester Road → Piccadilly line to Heathrow, roughly 1 hour 20 minutes end to end.

How long it really takes

103 trains a day run on this connection. The fastest are around 80 minutes; the average is nearer 87 minutes — and the average is the figure to plan on when you have a suitcase to move through a change. First train around 04:42, last around 00:18.

When the train stops being an option

Outside the 04:42–00:18 window it stops being an option and a car starts being one. A flight landing after midnight cannot connect to Bromley by rail, and a 05:30 check-in cannot be reached in time by the first train either. Both are car journeys.

What the fare has done recently

An off-peak single from Bromley South to Heathrow is £16.50 at time of writing. The Elizabeth line leg between zone 1 and Heathrow rose to £15.50 on 1 March 2026, up from £13.90 — so a through fare you priced last year may no longer be the one you pay. Check on the day. Weekend engineering work can also rewrite the first and last hours of the timetable without touching anything in between.

Four passengers · worth reading twice

Four off-peak rail singles at £16.50 each

£66.00

Our saloon, 27.1 miles, up to four people

£66.00

To the pound, the same number either way. At four passengers the decision is not price — it is whether you would rather move through one or two changes with your luggage, or step into a car at your door.

Below four and above four

Below four the train wins outright, and we say so. Above four the car wins by widening margins — £14.50 at five, £49 at eight.

Two caveats belong with that sum

The rail figure assumes you and your bags make one or two changes without difficulty — fair with a cabin bag, much less fair with three suitcases and a pushchair. It also assumes an off-peak ticket: a seven o'clock departure on a weekday is not off-peak. Do the sum for your own party and your own hour. If the train comes out cheaper and your day suits it, take the train. We would rather you did.

Half a mile apart · different lines · useful for opposite reasons

Two Stations, Half a Mile Apart, on Different Lines

Bromley has two railway stations and they are not interchangeable. People book from the wrong one often enough that the difference is worth setting out.

The catch that catches people out

Bromley North opened twenty years after Bromley South as a branch terminus. Its through service to central London was cut back in April 1976 and withdrawn altogether in 1990. So the two are useful for opposite reasons: Bromley South for trains to central London and onward to Heathrow via the Elizabeth line; Bromley North for the SL5 bus that starts the cheap route to the airport.

Both cost the same to us

Both are ordinary pickup points and both cost the same, because the mileage that sets the fare is the run to the airport rather than the half mile at the start. If you name a station when you book, name which one.

A205 South Circular, then the A4 or M4 west

The Road We Take, and Why Published Mileages Differ So Widely

The drive runs north-west out of the town, across south London on the South Circular (A205), then the A4 or M4 west to the airport. Charing Cross is only 9.3 miles away — which tells you how much of this journey is city driving rather than motorway.

The M25 alternative

The alternative runs round the southern side of London on the M25, joining near junction 6 and coming off at junction 14 or via the M4. That way is longer in miles and is usually the answer only when the A205 has stopped moving. Our drivers watch the road on the day and choose between the two.

What we price on

The median of the three routed measurements: 27.1 miles. Every fare on this page is computed from that figure. A fare built on any of the others would have to find the difference back somewhere else — which is exactly why headlines in this market run from £63 to £155 for the same journey.

Whatever the hour, the fare does not move

A slow morning costs us time, not you money. That is the whole point of pricing on distance rather than on the clock.

All four off the same approach · minutes apart, not routes apart

Which Terminal You Need

From Bromley all four terminals come off the same approach, so the difference between them is minutes rather than route. The routed distance to Terminal 5 is only 2.2 miles further than to the central terminals — the width of the airport, not a different journey.

ULEZ at both ends · and nothing passed on

ULEZ, the Congestion Charge and What Is Not Added to Your Fare

Both ends of this journey sit inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone. That is unusual for a route in this catchment and worth knowing.

ULEZ · at both ends, and never yours

The zone has covered every Greater London borough since 29 August 2023, so Bromley is inside it and Heathrow — all four terminals — has been inside it since the same date. A non-compliant vehicle pays £12.50 a day. Our fleet meets the standard, so the charge never arises on your journey and never appears on your bill.

Congestion Charge · central London only

A separate thing entirely. It operates 07:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and 12:00 to 18:00 at weekends, and rose to £18.00 on 2 January 2026 from £15.00. This route crosses south London well below the zone and turns west for the airport. It does not apply.

Dart Charge · wrong side of London

The £2.50 Dart Charge sometimes appears in airport quotes from this side of London. It does not apply here. The crossing is on the eastern side of the M25 and this journey turns west — there is no Thames crossing on this route.

What is in the quoted fare

The £7 Heathrow forecourt drop-off is included. The £12.50 ULEZ is not passed on. The £18 Congestion Charge does not apply. The £2.50 Dart Charge does not apply. There is no fuel surcharge, no airport entry fee added afterwards, and no separate charge for waiting at the terminal on a normal arrival. The number you are quoted is the whole number.

Same road, same fare · the arrivals process is what differs

Coming Back: Heathrow to Bromley

The return is the same road and the same fare. Here is how we handle the arrivals end of it.

Give us the flight number

We watch the arrival against it — via IATA feeds for British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, Emirates, Air France, KLM and other Star Alliance and SkyTeam carriers — so a flight that lands 40 minutes late is met 40 minutes later, not met on time and charged for waiting. It is the single most useful thing you can give us, and it costs nothing.

Meet-and-greet or car park

The driver meets you inside Arrivals with a name-board, past baggage reclaim at your terminal — easier with children, with heavy luggage, or after a long-haul flight when thinking is the last thing you want to do. A pickup from the short-stay car park is a shorter walk if you are travelling light and know the airport. Tell us which you want at booking.

Why late arrivals change the sum

The last train home leaves around 00:18, and the bus link takes about three hours at the best of times. A delayed evening arrival is the classic case where the cheaper option on paper stops existing in practice. That is why a fair number of our return bookings are made at the airport rather than in advance. If you find yourself stranded, call — we can usually reach Heathrow in 45 to 55 minutes after 21:00.

BR1 and BR2 at the fares on this page

Where We Pick Up Around Bromley

Pickups from Bromley South station forecourt, from Bromley North station, and from anywhere in those two postcode districts all cost the same.

BR1 · BR2What is covered

Bromley town centre, The Glades, the Churchill Theatre, the High Street, and Bromley Market — chartered in 1158, which is the reason the town centre has the street pattern it has — together with Bromley Common, Shortlands, Bickley and the streets between them.

Why we ask for a postcode

Bromley has a long High Street with a lot of short turnings off it. The station forecourt is a different place from the station entrance. A postcode with a house number removes the guesswork.

Neighbouring districts priced separately

BR3 BeckenhamBR4 West WickhamBR5 & BR6 OrpingtonBR7 ChislehurstBR8 Swanley

Each is a different distance to the airport and would be a different fare. Ask for a quote from your own postcode rather than assuming the Bromley number applies.

This is a big borough

330,000 people at the 2021 census, up 6.7% on 309,400, and the least densely populated of London's boroughs at 16 people per hectare (ONS, Census 2021, checked August 2026). The distances between its districts are real, and so are the fare differences.

Match the vehicle to the luggage, not just the headcount

Luggage, Child Seats and Flight Delays

A saloon takes four people and three large cases — that third figure is the one that catches people out.

Luggage capacity

The estate at £68 adds a much larger boot for a small step in price, and the MPV6 at £75 takes six people with five bags. Skis, golf clubs, a cello or a folded wheelchair all fit somewhere in the fleet — mention them when you book so the right car turns up.

Child seats

Free on request in either direction — infant, toddler or booster. Ask at booking rather than at the kerb, because they live at base rather than in the boot. Tell us the ages rather than the seat type and we will bring the right one.

If your flight changes

Tell us as soon as you know. An outbound booking can be shifted at no charge as long as we hear before the car is on its way. An inbound one is already being watched against your flight number. Free cancellation up to 12 hours before pickup; amendments re-quoted, never surcharged.

Payment and accounts

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and cash to the driver. Corporate accounts with monthly billing for The Glades retail tenants, Bromley professional-services firms, Princess Royal University Hospital staff and school groups. Changes and cancellations are handled by a person on the phone, not by a form.

Eight classes · Saloon £66 → Executive MPV £95 · MPV8 at £10.38 a head

The third figure in the saloon row is the one to read twice

A saloon seats four but takes three large cases. Four adults with a full-size case each want the Estate at £68 — two pounds more. Five or six travelling together want one MPV6 at £75 rather than two cars. Eight travel in the Mercedes Vito at £83 — £10.38 each. Child seats are free but must be requested at booking, because they live at base rather than in the boot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Third-party figures are sourced and dated. If you spot one that has moved since we last checked, tell us — we would rather correct it than leave it.

How much is a taxi from Bromley to Heathrow?

A saloon is £66 for up to four passengers with three cases. The range runs to £95 for the Executive MPV, and the full table of 8 classes is above with the arithmetic beside each price. The fare is fixed when you book, covers the 27.1-mile journey to any terminal, and does not change with traffic or hour. The £7 Heathrow drop-off is inside every quoted fare.

Is Bromley-by-Bow the same as Bromley?

No. Bromley-by-Bow is a tube station in E3, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, on the District and Hammersmith & City lines. The town of Bromley is in the London Borough of Bromley, in BR1 and BR2, several miles to the south across the river. The station opened as plain "Bromley" on 31 March 1858 and was renamed on 18 May 1967 to stop the confusion. This page prices the town.

Can you get from Bromley to Heathrow by bus?

Yes, on two. SL5 runs from Bromley North through Bromley South station to West Croydon every 12 minutes on weekdays. SL7 then runs West Croydon to Heathrow Central bus station — 23.75 miles in 1 hour 42 minutes, the longest bus route in London. Board the second within one hour and the pair costs £1.75 total on the hopper fare, or £3.50 if you miss the window. Allow about three hours door to door.

Is the bus cheaper than a taxi from Bromley to Heathrow?

Yes, at every group size. We checked it from 1 passenger through to 8 and the two bus fares came in lower every time. The narrowest the gap gets is £50.50 at 5 passengers. What a car gives you instead is about three hours of your day back, luggage in the boot, a departure time you choose, and a drop at the terminal you named.

Is the train cheaper than a taxi from Bromley to Heathrow?

Up to three passengers, yes. An off-peak single is £16.50 a head, so three come to £49.50 against £66 for a saloon — a gap of £16.50. At four passengers the sum lands on £66 either way: four train singles at £16.50 exactly match the saloon fare. From 5 upwards the car is cheaper outright, by £14.50 at five and £49 at eight. The rail journey involves one or two changes.

How far is Bromley from Heathrow?

27.1 miles by road. Published figures range widely because sellers copy each other rather than measure. Only 3 of the 7 we checked are routed road measurements. Those three agree within 2.3 miles of each other, and we price on their midpoint.

How long does the drive take?

Allow 55 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Before 06:00 it is 45–55 minutes; after 21:00 the same. The morning peak (07:00–09:30) is the slow one at 1 h 15 m to 1 h 30 m, and the evening peak runs 1 h 15 m upwards. The fare does not change with the hour.

Do I pay the ULEZ or the Congestion Charge on this journey?

Neither is added to your fare. Bromley and the airport are both inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which has covered every Greater London borough since 29 August 2023, but our vehicles meet the standard so the £12.50 daily charge never arises. The Congestion Charge covers central London only, and this route stays well south and west of it. The £2.50 Dart Charge does not apply because the journey never crosses the Thames.
