What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Café Royal, your driver meets you in arrivals at London City Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: regent Street itself is bus-lane territory; the hotel’s Air Street side entrance is where pre-booked cars belong, sheltered under the colonnade.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Regent Street approach and the London City Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at London City Airport, and a car at the door at Café Royal — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.

Travel notes
Good to know about Café Royal to London City Airport.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to Café Royal is Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for London City Airport.
Local knowledge
Piccadilly Circus is the one place in London we never promise a kerbside wait — the Air Street arrangement exists precisely because of it.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
Timing
The 9-mile run typically takes 25–35 min. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
