Heathrow to Loughborough taxi - route overview

The Heathrow to Loughborough taxi journey covers approximately 105 miles through central England. Your driver takes the M25 clockwise from Heathrow, joining the M40 towards Oxford and Birmingham. The route continues via the M42 and A42 before reaching Loughborough via the A512.

The final approach uses the A512 directly into Loughborough town centre, passing Loughborough University's campus and the town's famous carillon tower.
