Merton to the airports and Eurostar, fixed and fully priced
Merton is south-west London's Wimbledon borough, covering Wimbledon town and village, Raynes Park, Morden, Mitcham and Colliers Wood. The A3 runs along its western edge and the A24 and A217 lead south, so both Heathrow and Gatwick are straightforward from here.
SW19 and SW20 are inner London in the booking engine, and the borough has no central surcharge postcodes. Morden (SM4) and Mitcham (CR4) are outer London.

The engine adds 20% for Friday journeys, Saturday and Sunday pickups before noon, Monday–Thursday trips into London 07:00–10:00 and out of London 16:00–19:00, and a seasonal supplement from 17 December to 1 January.

What changes the fare in Merton
Merton postcodes count as inner London in the booking engine. That means no central surcharge on any fare here, and the Congestion Charge allowance only applies on the St Pancras run, where the station end is central, so the price is mileage plus the airport drop-off charge. A pickup a few streets inside a central postcode would cost more – these are priced from a Wimbledon SW19 address.
Merton pickup guide, area by area
Where to wait, which roads slow things down and whether the central surcharge applies – Merton area by area.
| Area | Postcode | Central surcharge? | Pickup notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wimbledon town centre | SW19 | No | The Broadway is busy; meet on a side street or at the station back entrance. |
| Wimbledon Village | SW19 | No | High Street has limited stopping – give the house address. |
| Wimbledon Park | SW19 | No | During the Championships, streets near the All England Club close – book around them. |
| Raynes Park | SW20 | No | Close to the A3 – quick for Heathrow. |
| Morden | SM4 | No | Near the A24 – a fast start for Gatwick. |
| Mitcham | CR4 | No | Busy town centre; residential roads are easier. |
| Colliers Wood | SW19 | No | On the A24 – easy access north and south. |
| South Wimbledon | SW19 | No | Residential streets near the Northern line. |
Add anything that helps the driver find the door – a building name, a side entrance, a code. Arrival messages are automatic.
