A reliable, fixed-fare airport transfer to SOAS University of London — door-to-door from every London airport (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton & London City) to Russell Square, Bloomsbury (WC1). Flight tracking, meet & greet in arrivals and every toll included. No surge, no night premium, 24/7.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup
For students and families arriving for SOAS University of London, the trip in from the airport is exactly where a fixed-fare, pre-booked transfer earns its place. SOAS sits on the north-west corner of Russell Square in Bloomsbury (WC1H 0XG), steps from the British Museum and Senate House — superbly connected, but ringed by one-way streets inside the Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones. Whichever London airport you fly into, a RushXO transfer takes the whole problem off your hands: met in arrivals after a tracked flight, driven directly to Russell Square, with every toll already built into a price locked at the moment you book. No queue with luggage, no slow connection across town, no surge-priced app after a long-haul flight.

We meet you in arrivals at all five London airports with a name board after baggage reclaim, then take you door-to-door to SOAS at Russell Square. Flights are tracked, and arrival wait is included so a delayed landing never changes your fixed fare.
Meet-and-greet collection from Heathrow Airport (WEST of the city), with the driver tracking your flight and waiting in arrivals — then door-to-door to SOAS:
Around 19 miles and 60 minutes off-peak via the M4 / A40. Heathrow and Russell Square also share the Piccadilly line, but a car spares you the stairs with luggage. Arrival wait is included, so a delayed flight never changes the fixed fare.
Meet-and-greet collection from Gatwick Airport (SOUTH of the city), with the driver tracking your flight and waiting in arrivals — then door-to-door to SOAS:
Around 33 miles and 75 minutes off-peak via the M23 / M25. Arrival wait is included, so a delayed flight never changes the fixed fare.
Meet-and-greet collection from Stansted Airport (NORTH-EAST of the city), with the driver tracking your flight and waiting in arrivals — then door-to-door to SOAS:
Around 35 miles and 65 minutes off-peak via the M11 / A12. Arrival wait is included, so a delayed flight never changes the fixed fare.
Meet-and-greet collection from Luton Airport (NORTH of the city), with the driver tracking your flight and waiting in arrivals — then door-to-door to SOAS:
Around 30 miles and 55 minutes off-peak via the M1 — a direct run into Bloomsbury. Arrival wait is included, so a delayed flight never changes the fixed fare.
Meet-and-greet collection from London City Airport (EAST of the city), with the driver tracking your flight and waiting in arrivals — then door-to-door to SOAS:
Around 10 miles and 45 minutes off-peak via the A13 / city. Arrival wait is included, so a delayed flight never changes the fixed fare.
SOAS is at 10 Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG, nearest Tube Russell Square (Piccadilly line). We deliver you door-to-door to the exact address you need — campus, hall or private accommodation — and run the return to any airport on the same fixed-fare basis.
We take you to the campus on Thornhaugh Street — the College Buildings, the Paul Webley Wing and the SOAS Library on the corner of Russell Square — or to your intercollegiate hall or private student accommodation in Bloomsbury.
There's no general parking at the campus, which is inside the Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones, so a door-to-door drop-off by a driver who knows the Bloomsbury one-way streets is the easiest way to arrive — especially with a term's luggage. Give us the full address at booking and we plan the approach around it.
We run the return leg to any London airport on the same fixed-fare basis, collecting you from SOAS at the time you need and tracking your departure so you arrive in good time.
Book both legs together and we hold your driver details for the return.

Maps © OpenStreetMap contributors (open licence). Coordinates are indicative — your driver confirms the exact pickup and drop-off at booking.
Every detail — from the meet-and-greet at the airport to the handover at Russell Square — is handled by a professional, route-experienced chauffeur.
The price you see is the price you pay. All tolls, parking and waiting time are built into the quote — agreed at booking and never altered, whatever the traffic does.
We monitor your flight at every airport and time the collection to your actual landing, with free arrival wait so delays and customs queues never change your fare.

Pre-dawn departures, late-night arrivals, last-minute bookings — dispatch runs around the clock. A 4am run costs the same fixed fare as a midday one.
Saloons, executive Mercedes and BMW, six-seat MPVs and 8–9-seat minibuses — valeted before every job, with bottled water and phone chargers.
Collected at the airport and delivered to the exact hall or campus address — with help loading the luggage and a vehicle sized to a full term's worth of bags.

SOAS University of London, at 10 Thornhaugh Street on Russell Square (WC1H 0XG), is a specialist member of the University of London focused on the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East — their languages, cultures, law, economics, politics and development — with a famously international student body. The compact Bloomsbury campus gathers the College Buildings, the Paul Webley Wing in Senate House, the renowned SOAS Library and the Brunei Gallery around the square. The nearest Tube is Russell Square (Piccadilly line, which also runs to Heathrow), with Euston, King's Cross and St Pancras within about 15 minutes' walk. The area sits inside the Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones with no campus parking, so a door-to-door drop-off is the easiest way to arrive with luggage. We take you to the exact campus, hall or address, with help loading at both ends.
Whether you are an international student arriving for the first time, a parent helping with the big move, or a visitor for an open day or graduation, the journey is far simpler in one vehicle than split across cars or managed by train with its changes and escalators. A single RushXO saloon, executive car or MPV carries your whole party and luggage door-to-door for one fixed fare, frequently calmer and easier than the equivalent rail connections. Child seats and boosters are provided free on request.
A pre-booked RushXO transfer is named and identifiable to you in advance: your driver holds an enhanced DBS check as a condition of their TfL Private Hire licence and operates a fully insured, logged vehicle. You receive the driver's name, number, and the vehicle's make, model and registration before pickup. A female chauffeur can be requested for lone or late-night travellers — reassuring for students arriving alone.
RushXO Ltd is a Dartford-based private hire operator licensed by Transport for London, registered at Companies House under number 16464640, and with the ICO under reference ZC112187. Every driver holds a current TfL Private Hire Driver licence, requiring an enhanced DBS check, a medical assessment and topographical and English-language testing.
