Travel notes
Guests combining 45 Park Lane with dinner in Mayfair often keep the car by the hour instead of booking two transfers — usually the better price across an evening.
Hyde Park, The Dorchester, Shepherd Market, Mount Street are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
For London City, the road runs freest early — before the morning build-up and after the evening one. Tell us the flight and we’ll name the pickup time rather than leave you guessing.
The hotel is inside the Congestion Charge and ULEZ zones, so both are already in your fixed price — which is not the case with every quote you’ll be given.
Happy to work directly with the 45 Park Lane concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
The closest station is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria). Handy for a light, single trip; less so with cases or a tight connection, which is where the door-to-door car earns its keep.
45 Park Lane has anchored Park Lane since 2011, known above all for CUT at 45 Park Lane and its contemporary art collection. A hotel held to that standard deserves a journey that matches it — which is exactly what a car booked ahead provides: a named driver, a price fixed before you travel, and none of the kerbside app roulette that can undo an otherwise faultless stay.
Cars draw up directly outside the entrance on Park Lane’s service road, shared with The Dorchester next door — a ten-second walk from lobby to seat. From there, Heathrow is usually 40–55 min away, with Gatwick, the other London airports, the mainline termini and the south-coast cruise ports all quoted before you ride. Fly in and the pattern reverses — a name board in arrivals (at the airport, never the lobby), the flight tracked, and an hour of waiting built in so a slow carousel stays the driver's problem, not yours.
Guests combining 45 Park Lane with dinner in Mayfair often keep the car by the hour instead of booking two transfers — usually the better price across an evening. Through all of it the promise holds: the price is set before the wheels turn, tolls and charges sit inside it, and the car is where it should be when you are. Hyde Park, The Dorchester, Shepherd Market are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

At a glance
From £62 for a saloon to Heathrow, agreed in full before you book. Gatwick is from £47; every other airport, station and cruise port is quoted the same open way — no meter, nothing added at the kerb.
Cars draw up directly outside the entrance on Park Lane’s service road, shared with The Dorchester next door — a ten-second walk from lobby to seat.
That's the whole point of booking ahead. We watch the arrivals board so you needn't text from the gate; the driver knows before you've cleared passport control, and the included hour absorbs the usual airport friction.
The front desk can arrange it, or you can. Direct bookings send the driver's name and number straight to your phone; concierge bookings land on the room bill. Pick whichever is less effort on the day.
About 40–55 min, though we plan around your flight rather than the average — early departures leave before the roads fill, and inbound we time the collection to your landing. London City is nearer still, roughly 25–35 min.
We run to St Pancras for £47, door to platform. With the Eurostar the trick is the 30–45 minute check-in window, so we plan the pickup around that rather than the train time itself.
The nearest station is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria), and for a lone traveller it can be quick. With cases, an early flight or a suit that shouldn't crease, door-to-terminal usually wins once you count the walk, the steps and the change — and the fare is fixed either way.
