London Layover Private Tour

Make the most of your layover in London with a private tour from Heathrow or Gatwick, Southhampton or Portsmouth.

With a layover of at least 6 hours, it is possible to see some of England. Please see our packages below for layovers at London Heathrow Airport (LHR). These are suggestions and other options may be possible depending on the timing of your flights.

On average, it takes 40 minutes from landing to clearing immigration and customs at Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Your driver will be waiting for you in arrivals with a sign. 

You need a minimum layover of 6 hours to enjoy one of our tours. We will take you back to the airport around 2 hours 30 minutes before your next flight departs. Here is what you could do in that time:
