On the day
Travelling to Mandarin Oriental, your driver meets you on the concourse at Waterloo Station with a name board, your train tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the hotel has two faces: the Knightsbridge forecourt for arrivals, and the Hyde Park side for guests who prefer to slip out the back — tell us which you favour.
Between the Mandarin Oriental lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Our drivers know the Knightsbridge approach and the Waterloo Station pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
