Heathrow to Tilbury Cruise Terminal Taxi
The London International Cruise Terminal at Tilbury is the home port for Cunard's Queen Mary 2 among other lines — and it's a cross-London run from Heathrow with no easy public-transport route. One pre-booked taxi takes you straight there.
Getting From Heathrow To Tilbury
The London International Cruise Terminal sits on the Thames Estuary at Tilbury, east of London — a genuine cross-city journey from Heathrow on the west side, covering roughly 47 to 55 miles depending on whether the direct A13 route or the A406/A13 combination is faster on the day. Typical journey time runs 1 hour 21 to 25 minutes. There's a rail option via Tilbury Town station, but it means crossing London by tube or train first and then a taxi or the terminal shuttle for the final stretch — a single direct taxi from the airport is considerably simpler with cruise luggage.
Tilbury is best known as Cunard's London home port for Queen Mary 2 sailings, alongside seasonal calls from other lines — tell us your cruise line and sailing time when you book and we'll time your pickup around Tilbury's check-in schedule.
