Before you travel
Good to know about Café Royal.
A word on traffic
Piccadilly Circus is the one place in London we never promise a kerbside wait — the Air Street arrangement exists precisely because of it.
Beating the peak
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.
Groups & events
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Tolls & charges
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 arriving guests
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to Café Royal rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
If you’d rather take the train
The closest station is Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus. 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 Café Royal
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like Hotel Café Royal — Regent Street since 1865, celebrated for Oscar Wilde’s old haunt, reborn above Piccadilly Circus — only to argue with a meter on the way out. Booking a chauffeur removes it. The fare is settled up front, the car is chosen for the address, and the driver already knows which door is yours.
Regent Street itself is bus-lane territory; the hotel’s Air Street side entrance is where pre-booked cars belong, sheltered under the colonnade. From there, Heathrow is usually 45 min–1h 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.
Piccadilly Circus is the one place in London we never promise a kerbside wait — the Air Street arrangement exists precisely because of it. That's the whole of it: agree the fare, forget the meter, and let the driver mind the route while you mind the day. Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Soho all sit within easy reach, and an hourly booking turns them into an afternoon rather than three separate fares.

How much is a chauffeur from Café Royal to Heathrow?
We quote £64 to Heathrow, £64 to Gatwick, and a set fare to every other terminal, station and port. Larger cars are priced up front too, so a family or a full luggage load never becomes an awkward sum at the end.
Which entrance should I use at Café Royal?
Regent Street itself is bus-lane territory; the hotel’s Air Street side entrance is where pre-booked cars belong, sheltered under the colonnade.
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.
Can you collect me for a very early flight?
We're 24/7. For the first departure of the day your chauffeur is outside Café Royal before the lobby has properly woken, at the same fixed fare as any other hour.
Do you track flights on the way in?
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.
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 airport is best for Café Royal?
Geographically it's London City, roughly 25–35 min from the door — but since we price every London airport from Café Royal, let the flight decide and we'll handle the run.
