Hotel 41 · 5-star hotel
Chauffeur transfers for Hotel 41 — the little five-star opposite the Royal Mews, served with matching attention.

What to expect
Buckingham Palace Road is busy but the hotel’s doorway sits in a slower stretch by the Mews — drivers time arrival to your descent from the fifth floor.

Travel notes
Hotel 41’s butlers coordinate luggage with our drivers directly — tell the desk a P5 car is booked and simply walk down.
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 Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace, Victoria Station, St James’s Park are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to Hotel 41 rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
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.
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Hotel 41 opened in 2000 and has spent the years since earning its name for its black-and-white executive floor above the Royal Mews. Guests who choose it tend to mind how the day runs, not only where it ends — and the transfer is where that care is most often lost. A pre-booked car puts it back: one driver, one price, and a plan for the door before anyone reaches the kerb.
Buckingham Palace Road is busy but the hotel’s doorway sits in a slower stretch by the Mews — drivers time arrival to your descent from the fifth floor. Heathrow sits about 40–55 min from here in ordinary traffic, and every other terminal, station and port is priced the same transparent way. On the inbound leg your driver meets you inside arrivals with a board, watches the flight for delays, and holds the car free for an hour — so an immigration queue never becomes a missed connection.
Hotel 41’s butlers coordinate luggage with our drivers directly — tell the desk a P5 car is booked and simply walk down. 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. The Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace, Victoria Station are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

At a glance
A saloon to Heathrow starts at £47, and that figure is the whole of it: tolls, tracking and an hour's waiting included. Gatwick runs from £47. You see the price before you commit, not after the journey.
Buckingham Palace Road is busy but the hotel’s doorway sits in a slower stretch by the Mews — drivers time arrival to your descent from the fifth floor.
Either works. Concierge teams book us daily; equally you can book online or on 020 8742 2888 and tell the desk a P5 car is expected — the doormen take it from there.
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.
We track it from take-off. The pickup shifts automatically to the real landing time, with an hour of waiting included free — so a slow carousel or a long immigration queue never costs you the car.
Multiple pickups and stops are no trouble. Guests often gather a group across Victoria or run an errand en route to the airport — arrange it ahead and it's simply part of the one fixed fare.
Yes — being central, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ apply, and both are baked into the fixed price. Worth comparing against quotes that quietly add them at the end.
“I use P5 Chauffeurs every time I fly into and out of London. I'm impressed by their reliability, punctuality, and all-around professionalism. P5 is always my first choice.”
