From Heathrow Airport to the Chelsea Flower Show, door to drop-off. For guests landing at Heathrow, the meeting point is the arrivals hall, with the flight tracked. On the map the run is 15.9 miles and about 29 minutes in clear traffic, by way of the M4, A4 and A3220. That is 18 minutes longer than the same trip from Mayfair.

How the day runs
Landing at Heathrow, you are met in arrivals with the car close by. A luxury people-carrier is the usual choice for a larger group. From there it is the M4, A4 and A3220 to Royal Hospital Chelsea. For drop-off, the organisers' own rules apply. Public parking is at Battersea Park (pre-booked with tickets, about 20 minutes' walk), with shuttle buses dropping at Bull Ring Gate. Coaches need a permit to set down on the Embankment; there is no coach parking at the show. Between your arrival and the last of the day, the chauffeur stays within easy reach. After the last of the day, it is about 31 minutes back to Heathrow Airport.
