Our office is on Albemarle Street in Mayfair, on the far side of Green Park and Hyde Park Corner, a short drive from Knightsbridge.

Where we collect from in Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea

We regularly serve guests of The Berkeley, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, The Lanesborough and the Bulgari Hotel, and collect from residences across Belgravia’s squares and Chelsea’s streets between the King’s Road and the river. Pickup points at each hotel are agreed with the concierge in advance, so the chauffeur is on the forecourt or at the door rather than circling. Harrods on Brompton Road and Harvey Nichols at the top of Sloane Street have no forecourt where a car can stand, so the chauffeur agrees a collection door with you and returns to it when you call or message; this is why hourly hire, with the chauffeur nearby, works better than a car booked for a fixed time.

The area also brings us regular work at the embassies of Belgravia, private hospitals such as the Lister on Chelsea Bridge Road, the antiques and design dealers of Pimlico Road, and events at Cadogan Hall, the Royal Hospital Chelsea during the Chelsea Flower Show in May and Stamford Bridge on match days.

Shopping by the hour: Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Sloane Street

A shopping trip is booked by the hour, from £72 with a four-hour minimum and 20 miles included, and it runs as one loop rather than a series of separate cars. The chauffeur drops you at Harrods, takes the first bags back to the car, waits nearby, moves to Harvey Nichols or Sloane Street when you message, and finishes with lunch or the return to the hotel. Bags stay locked in the boot between stops: the E-Class takes two large suitcases and two cabin bags, the V-Class six large and four cabin bags. Four hours typically covers Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Sloane Street; a day that adds Bond Street and Mount Street in Mayfair is often better as a full day at £528 for eight hours with 60 miles.

The same hourly booking suits an evening: dinner in Knightsbridge or Chelsea, the Royal Albert Hall or a West End theatre, and the car waiting at the door afterwards. Details of hourly hire are on our chauffeur by the hour page.

Knightsbridge chauffeur prices: airports and the City

Heathrow is the most common transfer from Knightsbridge, usually 40–55 minutes outside the peaks along the A4 and M4, and is a fixed price by car class including VAT, meet and greet with a name board, live flight tracking and 60 minutes of free waiting from landing. Gatwick, usually 70–95 minutes, and Stansted, Luton, London City and Farnborough are quoted when you book. The City is 30–45 minutes and is normally a one-way transfer from £120. Airport parking, tolls and the £18 Congestion Charge, where it applies, are added at cost into the quote before you confirm; nothing is billed afterwards.

Residents of Belgravia and Chelsea: a chauffeur on a regular basis

Households in Belgravia, Chelsea and Knightsbridge often want the same chauffeur on set days: the school run, a standing appointment, the weekly trip out of town and airport runs at either end of a holiday. We arrange this as a weekly or monthly retainer with one named chauffeur and a briefed substitute, priced from the hourly and daily rates above; see our private chauffeur service and long-term chauffeur hire. Every chauffeur is licensed, enhanced DBS-checked and has at least three years’ chauffeur experience; NDAs are signed on request and a female chauffeur is available at no surcharge. Booster seats are free, and baby and child seats are £25 per seat. Family offices and firms in the area can hold a corporate account with ex-VAT rates and monthly invoicing; wedding cars for Knightsbridge and Chelsea venues are on our wedding chauffeur page, and the rest of London is on the areas we cover page.

We regularly collect from The Berkeley, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, The Lanesborough and the Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge, and from hotels and residences across Belgravia and Chelsea. We are not tied to any hotel; you book with us directly at our published prices.
