Travel tips for Swanage to London City Airport

Book early morning pickups carefully during summer months when Swanage fills with holiday traffic. The narrow A351 from Swanage becomes congested after 9am with tourists heading to Corfe Castle.

Parking near Swanage town centre requires payment from 8am to 6pm on Shore Road car park. Your driver can collect from hotels along the seafront including the Grand Hotel or Pines Hotel without parking concerns.

Wednesday morning traffic builds around Wareham as market day brings additional local traffic to the A351 junction. Allow extra time for pickups after 8.30am on market days.
