TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

London Heathrow Airport to Southampton Cruise Port Transfer (LHR)

This private transfer takes you directly from Heathrow Airport (LHR) to the Southampton cruise terminal, about 55 miles (89km) away, with no sightseeing stops. A professional English speaking driver meets you at arrivals and drives you straight to the ship.

Each person may bring one large suitcase and one personal item, such as a backpack or purse. If you need to bring additional bags, oversized items, golf clubs or mobility equipment, contact us in advance so we can arrange the right vehicle.

Vehicle size is matched to your group, from a sedan for one or two passengers up to a full-size coach for larger groups. All vehicles are air-conditioned, non-smoking and licensed for private transport.

If you would like to add sightseeing along the way, such as Windsor Castle or Stonehenge, our London to Southampton touring options combine a similar route with guided stops.

Good to Know

Luggage Allowance

Each person may bring one large suitcase and one personal item — backpack, purse, or carry-on. If you have additional bags, oversized items, golf clubs, or mobility equipment, please contact us before booking so we can arrange the right vehicle.

Vehicle size is matched to your group — sedans for 1-2 passengers, minivans for 3-6, and minibuses for 7-8. All are air-conditioned, non-smoking, and licensed for private transport.

Total Transfer Time

Plan on approximately 2.5 Hours (traffic pending).

Airport Arrivals

We recommend scheduling your pickup 90 minutes after your flight’s scheduled arrival time. This allows enough time to deplane, collect your luggage, and clear customs. If your flight is delayed, your driver will monitor the flight and adjust.

Adding a Stop

This is a direct transfer. If you’d like to spend a few hours exploring along the way — the Tower of London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, or the British Museum are all worth the detour — contact us and we can put together a custom itinerary and quote.

Reviewer: Dannelle M from Mission Viejo, California  
Again, Private Shore Trips did not disappoint. Been using them since 2009. Steven is so great to work with - and his team of tour guides all over Europe have been amazing. This time we used them in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast. David in London, Ricky in Edinburgh, Ricky and Graeme in Glasgow and Paul in Belfast. All were personable, friendly, very knowledgeable, and flexible.

Reviewer: Jeremy K from Marion, IA  
Thanks for asking. They were good. The first driver was really nice and helpful and a good guy. The other driver was fine but not as nice. He was fine though and both were on time and the vehicles were comfortable as well. Very happy we chose you as both worked out great.

We did enjoy ourselves and I would highly recommend your tour company to anyone. The driver was really nice and very efficient getting us to all of the places that we wanted to see in the short time that we were in London. The guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly.

Reviewer: Ed J from Ed J. Ventura CA  
Just returned from London yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that all went well and the guides were outstanding. Had a fabulous time and looking forward to working with you again. The guides were very professional and on time. One was 30 minutes late, but we forgave him... He turned out to be a very good guide. I think it was in Belfast. Leaving for Honolulu for the month of August Wed, so have a lot to do before that date. Thanks again.

So we started at Westminster Abbey, took in the views of Big Ben and Parliament, and then headed to the Tower of London. The history is incredible! My mother could not walk anymore so Emma recommended the cutest cafe where she stayed while we finished the tour. Emma was jsut an outstanding guidefriendly, knowledgeable, and fun!
