Overview
The London to Windsor transfer is the simplest way to start a trip to Windsor: a private car or van, a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals, and a price fixed on WhatsApp before you travel, so there is no airport taxi fare to argue about. Windsor is a straightforward drive from London. Compared with an airport taxi or public transport, a private airport transfer costs about the same for two people and less for a family, with none of the waiting. Windsor is a royal town on the River Thames in Berkshire, about 35 km west of central London and 16 km west of Heathrow Airport.

Full Description
London to Windsor transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at London, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Windsor. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the London to Windsor transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the London to Windsor route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Windsor is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at London, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at London (LCY)
London City Airport (LCY) is in the Docklands, only about 10 km east of the City - 20-30 minutes to Canary Wharf or the centre.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a London to Windsor transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at London is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "LCY to Windsor" or "LCY airport transfer" land here for a reason: LCY is the airport code for London, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Windsor.
London to Windsor at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from London to Windsor, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at London, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from London to Windsor?
The airport taxi fare from London to Windsor is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked London to Windsor transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from London to Windsor per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Windsor involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Windsor, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from London to Windsor: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from London runs mainly into London itself: the Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door. Reaching Windsor from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
So the honest comparison for Windsor is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private London to Windsor transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Windsor
Windsor is a royal town on the River Thames in Berkshire, about 35 km west of central London and 16 km west of Heathrow Airport. Windsor is dominated by Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, whose walls and Round Tower rise above the town's streets. The Changing of the Guard marches through the town on set days, and the Long Walk runs for nearly 5 km from the castle into Windsor Great Park. Across the Thames by footbridge lies Eton, with its famous college and antique shops. Riverside promenades, boat trips, the Theatre Royal and the Victorian Windsor Royal station shopping arcade complete the picture, and Legoland Windsor is just outside town.
Things to do in Windsor
Once you have checked in, Windsor is worth exploring: Windsor Castle and St George's Chapel, The Long Walk and Windsor Great Park, Eton and Eton College across the river, Thames riverside and boat trips and Legoland Windsor nearby. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.
London itself is within reach for a day: Windsor Castle, Oxford Street and Regent Street and Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Windsor
Where you stay in Windsor makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Windsor town centre near the castle, Riverside and Datchet Road, Eton and Old Windsor and Datchet - and any other address is fine too.
The streets around the castle are partly pedestrianised and busy on Changing of the Guard days; the driver may set you down on Thames Street or near the Windsor Royal shopping area.
Meeting your driver at London
Where you meet your driver depends on London: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from London.
Our vehicles for the Windsor transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Windsor transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from London to Windsor on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
If your trip continues beyond Windsor - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to London - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Windsor transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Windsor. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at London
Tell us which airport and terminal - Heathrow alone has four in use - and the hotel's full postcode; London hotel names repeat across the city and the postcode sends the driver straight to the right street.
Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at London, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
Windsor to London: the return transfer
The same service runs the other way. For a Windsor to London transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at London, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Windsor based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near London, that is arranged in the same message.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Windsor transfers
What guests tell us they value about the London to Windsor transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Windsor at any hour.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at London?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name. We send you the exact meeting place, the driver's name and a phone number with your WhatsApp confirmation, so there is nothing to work out when you land at London.
How far is Windsor from London, and how long does the transfer take?
It is a direct drive. Traffic at rush hour or on holiday weekends can add a little; the price of your London to Windsor transfer is fixed in advance, so a slower drive never costs more.
What is Windsor like?
Windsor is a royal town on the River Thames in Berkshire, about 35 km west of central London and 16 km west of Heathrow Airport. Windsor is dominated by Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, whose walls and Round Tower rise above the town's streets. The Changing of the Guard marches through the town on set days, and the Long Walk runs for nearly 5 km from the castle into Windsor Great Park. Across the Thames by footbridge lies Eton, with its famous college and antique shops. Riverside promenades, boat trips, the Theatre Royal and the Victorian Windsor Royal station shopping arcade complete the picture, and Legoland Windsor is just outside town.
Where do visitors stay in Windsor?
The usual choices: Windsor town centre near the castle, Riverside and Datchet Road, Eton and Old Windsor and Datchet. Our transfer goes to any hotel or address there at the same fixed price for the vehicle - just send the hotel name on WhatsApp.
What is there to do in Windsor?
The highlights are Windsor Castle and St George's Chapel, The Long Walk and Windsor Great Park, Eton and Eton College across the river, Thames riverside and boat trips and Legoland Windsor nearby. The WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out once you have settled in.
Anything I should know about arriving in Windsor?
The streets around the castle are partly pedestrianised and busy on Changing of the Guard days; the driver may set you down on Thames Street or near the Windsor Royal shopping area.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from London to Windsor?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from London to Windsor adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from London to Windsor?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Windsor.
Is there a bus, train or metro from London to Windsor?
The Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to London is delayed?
With flight tracking, your driver follows your real landing time and waits up to 60 minutes after you land (90 at some airports). If the delay is more than 5 hours, message us on WhatsApp as soon as it is announced: we always do our best to rearrange the London to Windsor pickup, but a last-minute change cannot be promised, as it depends on the bookings that day.
Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. The London to Windsor transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.
Which vehicle will I get for the London to Windsor transfer?
You choose when you book: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned and with proper luggage space. If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Always private. We do not run shared shuttles: the car or van from London to Windsor carries your party only, leaves when you are ready, and goes straight to your address.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the London to Windsor transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and up to 60 minutes of waiting after your flight lands (90 at some airports). There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from London to Windsor?
Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the London to Windsor transfer?
As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.
How do I book the London to Windsor transfer?
Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Windsor - through the form on this page or directly on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, the vehicle and the meeting point at London, usually within minutes.
Can I change or cancel my booking?
Yes, through the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the change is requested, so our team explains exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the London to Windsor route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
Can I book the return trip from Windsor to London as well?
Of course. Send the departure flight time and the hotel, and we collect you from the door with a comfortable margin for London. Booking both directions together keeps everything on one confirmation, and any change of plan is handled in the same chat.
