Merton Taxi & Airport Transfers

Merton runs from Wimbledon down through Colliers Wood to Morden and Mitcham, mixing leafy commons with a fast-growing town centre. It is one of the best-placed boroughs in south London for airport travel: Heathrow is a short run west along the A3, Gatwick is straight down the A24 and M23, and Waterloo is under twenty minutes by train from Wimbledon.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Merton and the rest of south London. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel — airport transfers, station runs, cruise and ferry ports, business travel and days out — with professional drivers, flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.

Airport transfers from Merton

We run to and from every London airport from Merton around the clock. Distances and typical door-to-door times are shown below; your fixed fare is confirmed at booking and does not change if traffic is slow.

*Typical ranges for guidance only — actual journey time depends on the time of day, roadworks and weather. When you book we suggest a pickup time that gives you sensible margin for check-in. Meet-and-greet on airport pickups includes flight tracking, so if your flight is late your driver simply meets the actual landing time.

Local knowledge: getting around Merton

Traffic in Merton follows the A24 and the A3, both of which slow through the morning peak and again from late afternoon. Our drivers route around the Wimbledon Broadway one-way system and the Raynes Park level crossing rather than sitting in them, and during the Championships in late June and early July we plan every SW19 pickup around the road closures on Church Road and Somerset Road. Wimbledon station is the borough's main interchange, and Morden is the southern end of the Northern line, so we regularly collect from both for onward airport journeys.

Main roads

• A24 Morden Road
• A3 Kingston bypass
• A298 Bushey Road
• A217

Rail and public transport

Wimbledon has South Western Railway trains to Waterloo (around 17 minutes), the District line, Thameslink and Tramlink; Morden is the southern terminus of the Northern line. Trains are great for a quick trip into town, but for early flights, late arrivals, luggage, children or a group travelling together, a pre-booked fixed-price car from your door in Merton is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
