Travel notes
Mayfair’s one-way system means Bond Street traffic rarely touches Brook Street directly — morning departures to Heathrow run quickest before 7am.
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
The 85-mile run typically takes 2h 30–3h 30. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual sailing.
The nearest station to Claridge’s is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria) — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for Harwich Cruise Terminal.
