Areas we cover in London

Mayfair and St James’s

Our home ground. The office is on Albemarle Street, a few doors from Brown’s Hotel, and we collect daily from The Ritz, Claridge’s, The Connaught, The Dorchester, 45 Park Lane and Four Seasons Park Lane, the clubs of St James’s Street and Pall Mall, and the funds and family offices around Berkeley Square and St James’s Square. Heathrow is 45–60 minutes, Gatwick 75–100, London City 40–55 and St Pancras 20–30. Full local detail is on our Mayfair chauffeur page.

Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea

Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Sloane Street by the hour with the chauffeur waiting; guests of The Berkeley, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, The Lanesborough and the Bulgari; and households across Belgravia’s squares and Chelsea from Sloane Square to the King’s Road. Heathrow is 40–55 minutes, Gatwick 70–95 and the City 30–45. See our Knightsbridge chauffeur page.

Kensington and Notting Hill

The museums on Exhibition Road, the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and the hotels around Kensington High Street and Kensington Road on one side; Notting Hill’s Westbourne Grove, Portobello Road and the residential streets around Holland Park and Ladbroke Grove on the other. Kensington sits on the A4, so Heathrow is 35–50 minutes, one of the quicker runs from central London; Gatwick is 75–100 and the City 35–50.

Marylebone and Regent’s Park

Harley Street and the private clinics around it are a large part of our work here — appointments, discharges and consultants moving between clinics — alongside Marylebone High Street, The Langham, Chiltern Firehouse and the terraces of Regent’s Park. St Pancras and Euston are 10–20 minutes, Heathrow 45–65, Gatwick 80–105 and the City 25–40.

The City and Canary Wharf

Banks, law firms and advisers in the Square Mile, from Bank and Liverpool Street to The Ned and Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square, and the towers of Canary Wharf around Canada Square. Much of this is roadshow and business account work with one car for the day; see our business chauffeur service. London City Airport is 15–25 minutes from Canary Wharf and 25–40 from the City; Heathrow is 55–80 minutes and Gatwick 75–100.

Hampstead and St John’s Wood

Family and household work: school runs, Lord’s on match days, the Royal Free and the private hospitals nearby, the American School in London and the streets around Hampstead Heath, Belsize Park and Primrose Hill. Many clients here take a chauffeur on set days each week through our private chauffeur service and long-term hire. Heathrow is 45–65 minutes, Luton 40–60, the City 35–50 and St Pancras 15–25.

Richmond and the south-west

Richmond, Barnes, Putney, Wimbledon, Kew and Kingston, with Twickenham Stadium, the All England Club during The Championships, Hampton Court Palace and Twickenham Film Studios all in the area. Wedding venues across the south-west, from Richmond to Hampton Court, are covered on our wedding chauffeur page. Heathrow is the closest major airport at 20–35 minutes; Gatwick is 50–75 and Mayfair 35–55. We also cover shoots at the studios here and at Shepperton and Longcross beyond; see our film and TV production page.

Home Counties: Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex and Kent

Beyond Greater London we cover Weybridge, Cobham, Esher, Virginia Water and Guildford in Surrey; Radlett, Elstree, Borehamwood, Bushey and St Albans in Hertfordshire; Benfleet, Hadleigh, Canvey Island, Brentwood and Chelmsford in Essex; and Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Bromley in Kent. We hold operator licences with Hertsmere and Castle Point as well as TfL. Airport runs are quoted door to door — Weybridge to Heathrow is typically 25–40 minutes, Radlett to Luton 25–40, Sevenoaks to Gatwick 40–60 and Benfleet to London City 45–70 — and days that stay out of town are £96 per hour with an eight-hour minimum and 150 miles included, £768 for the day. Martina Rathmann, who booked us for guest transport across the Silverstone Grand Prix weekend, wrote on Google that the experience “exceeded all expectations”.

Chauffeur near me: questions we are asked

Do you cover my area?

Almost certainly. We collect anywhere in Greater London and the counties around it, and drive anywhere in the UK, including long-distance one-way journeys and cruise port transfers. If your postcode is not mentioned above, send it with the booking and we will confirm.

How quickly can a chauffeur reach me?

Quickly in central London when a chauffeur is free nearby; elsewhere it depends on where the nearest chauffeur is, and we will tell you honestly when you call. For airport runs and anything time-critical, book ahead so the car is assigned and the chauffeur briefed.

Is the price different by area?

No. Hourly and daily rates are the same wherever you are collected in London; one-way transfers are quoted by distance from £120, and Heathrow from central London is a fixed £144 in an E-Class. Out-of-town days are £96 per hour with an eight-hour minimum and 150 miles included.

Which airports do you cover?

Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Farnborough, plus private-jet terminals including Biggin Hill and the FBOs at Luton and Farnborough. Every airport pickup includes meet and greet, flight tracking and 60 minutes of free waiting from landing (30 minutes at private-jet terminals).

Are you licensed outside London?

Yes. As well as Transport for London, we hold private hire operator licences with Castle Point Borough Council in Essex and Hertsmere Borough Council in Hertfordshire, and every chauffeur is licensed and enhanced DBS-checked.
