What to expect
Met at the door, settled in advance.
The crescent drive off Whitehall Place shelters arriving cars completely — one of the few central hotels where you board under cover whatever the weather.
Waiting when you are
Your chauffeur stands at The Corinthia exactly where the doormen expect pre-booked cars — no circling the block, no phone tag, no scanning the rank.
Executive standard
Clean, current, unbranded cars and chauffeurs who understand that the best service is the kind you barely notice.
Delays absorbed
Landing into London? We meet you in arrivals with a board and bring you to The Corinthia on the real arrival time, an hour of waiting built in.

Travel notes
Good to know about The Corinthia.
Local timing
Embankment approaches beat Trafalgar Square at almost every hour; our drivers default to the river road for airport runs from the Corinthia.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the The Corinthia concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
No kerbside extras
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.
More than one car
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
When to leave
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.
Nearest Underground
The closest station is Covent Garden and Charing Cross. 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.
Getting to and from The Corinthia
Corinthia London has anchored Whitehall since 2011, known above all for ESPA Life — one of Europe’s great hotel spas. 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.
The crescent drive off Whitehall Place shelters arriving cars completely — one of the few central hotels where you board under cover whatever the weather. Allow roughly 45 min–1h to Heathrow outside the peaks, with fixed fares to Gatwick, City, Luton, Stansted, St Pancras and the cruise ports besides. Coming the other way, we follow the flight from the moment it leaves, meet you in the hall with your name, and keep the meter-free clock stopped for sixty minutes while you clear customs.
Embankment approaches beat Trafalgar Square at almost every hour; our drivers default to the river road for airport runs from the Corinthia. None of it changes the essentials — a fixed fare, every charge already counted, and a driver who is early rather than "nearly there". With Embankment Gardens and Trafalgar Square close by, guests often add a stop and keep the car between them rather than starting afresh each time.

What does a car from The Corinthia to Heathrow cost?
Heathrow is £102 in a saloon, Gatwick £102. What makes it worth booking isn't only the number but that it holds — traffic, roadworks and the hour of day are our risk to carry, not a surprise on your bill.
Where will my chauffeur meet me at The Corinthia?
The crescent drive off Whitehall Place shelters arriving cars completely — one of the few central hotels where you board under cover whatever the weather.
Will my cases and a golf bag fit?
Two cases to a saloon is the rule of thumb, doubling for estates and far more for the larger cars. The only mistake is under-booking the vehicle — tell us the real load and nothing rides on a lap.
Which cars can I choose from?
Plenty of choice. If it's an impression that matters — a client, an occasion — the Executive does it; for everyday comfort the Executive is ideal. Tell us the day and we'll suggest the right one.
Which airport is best for The Corinthia?
Geographically it's London City, roughly 20–30 min from the door — but since we price every London airport from The Corinthia, let the flight decide and we'll handle the run.
How long does it take from The Corinthia to Heathrow?
Reckon on 45 min–1h in ordinary traffic. Your chauffeur reads the live picture and, for a flight that won't wait, names the departure time rather than leaving you to guess. London City is the closest airport to the door, about 20–30 min away.
Can I keep the car by the hour instead?
Yes, and many guests prefer it — a chauffeur at your disposal for meetings, shopping or an evening, waiting between stops. Quoted up front, it usually beats booking each leg separately.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
