The drive time from Northolt Airport to Wimbledon typically ranges between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, London City Airport (EGLC), located in the eastern part of London, is slightly farther from Wimbledon. The distance between London City Airport and Wimbledon is approximately 16 miles, resulting in a drive time of around 45 to 60 minutes, considering the usual traffic patterns.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about all London-area airport options in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/london-business-jet-destination-guide\/\">London Destination Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Northolt (EGWU)<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_37892\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37892\" class=\"wp-image-37892 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage-1536x640.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage-400x167.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.universalweather.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Northolt-collage.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RAF Northolt is the closest airport to the Wimbledon venue.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Distance from Wimbledon Venue<\/h3>\n<p>Our top airport recommendation for operators attending Wimbledon is Northolt.
