Travel notes
Good to know about Number Sixteen.
Local timing
The Onslow Square grid drains to the A4 westbound in two turns — dawn Heathrow runs from here are as gentle as London offers.
What’s in the fare
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.
Around the hotel
South Kensington, The Natural History Museum, Fulham Road, Onslow Square are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the Number Sixteen concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
For arriving guests
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to Number Sixteen rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
Nearest Underground
The closest station is Sloane Square (District, Circle). 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.
Arriving and leaving Number Sixteen well
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like Number Sixteen — South Kensington since 2001, celebrated for Firmdale’s garden-backed white-stucco row — 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.
Sumner Place is a picture-book terrace with easy kerbs — the driver waits outside number sixteen precisely, which guests find pleasingly literal. Allow roughly 40–55 min 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.
The Onslow Square grid drains to the A4 westbound in two turns — dawn Heathrow runs from here are as gentle as London offers. 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. South Kensington, The Natural History Museum, Fulham Road are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

How much is a chauffeur from Number Sixteen to Heathrow?
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.
Where does the car wait at Number Sixteen?
Sumner Place is a picture-book terrace with easy kerbs — the driver waits outside number sixteen precisely, which guests find pleasingly literal.
How long does it take from Number Sixteen to Heathrow?
Heathrow is usually 40–55 min from here. The honest answer is that it depends on the hour, which is precisely why the driver watches traffic live and adjusts — so you're not doing motorway maths at five in the morning.
What about getting to the Eurostar?
Yes — £47 to St Pancras, and worth it on a Eurostar morning: no changing lines with cases, no queue for a taxi at the far end. The driver knows the drop-off nearest check-in.
Which cars can I choose from?
Yes — the executive E-Class is the popular pick, the S-Class for something grander, and larger parties take the V-Class. All at fixed prices shown before you choose.
Which airport is best for Number Sixteen?
Nearest is London City at 30–40 min, which is handy — but don't over-think it: we run to Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton, Stansted and Southend alike, each priced in advance.
Do you carry seats for children?
Of course. Travelling with children is exactly where a pre-booked car earns its place: the seats are in and adjusted before you come down, not improvised at the door.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
