Putney Minicabs cover the SW15 postcode around Putney Bridge, the High Street and the riverside towpath made famous by the Boat Race. The bridge itself is a known bottleneck at peak times, so our drivers plan routes that avoid crossing it unnecessarily when heading toward any of the airports.
Heathrow from Putney is one of the more convenient major-airport runs we offer, typically 25 to 35 minutes off-peak via the A3 and A316. It's a route our drivers know well enough to switch between approaches depending on whether the Hammersmith flyover or the Kew Bridge side is running more smoothly that day.
Gatwick usually takes 45 to 55 minutes via the A3 and M25, a reasonably direct south London route once you're clear of the Tolworth roundabout, which is the one local pinch point we always plan around for early or late flights, particularly during the morning rush.
Stansted and Luton both mean a longer, cross-London journey via the M25, typically 65 to 80 minutes, so we quote these as flight-tracked fixed-price bookings given how much the route can vary with traffic. London City is workable via the A3 and South Circular for business travellers, usually quicker than either Stansted or Luton, and popular for same-day return trips.
Every quote is fixed at the point of booking regardless of which side of Putney your pickup falls on, whether that's near the bridge, along the High Street, or up toward Putney Heath itself.
On arrivals we track your flight and meet you inside the terminal, which matters more on the shorter Heathrow run given how little slack there is in the schedule to absorb a missed connection, though we apply the same standard to every arrival regardless of airport.
Saloons handle most quick Heathrow bookings given how short the run is, while estates and MPVs are more common for the longer Gatwick, Stansted and Luton trips, or for group travel connected to events on the river, particularly around Boat Race weekend.
This is a strong choice specifically for Heathrow travellers — the A3/A316 link is quick and reliable, and drivers who know to avoid Putney Bridge at peak times can save real time getting clear of the area before the airport run even starts. That same local knowledge helps on the longer Gatwick run too, particularly navigating around the Tolworth roundabout.
