Worth knowing
Good to know about Raffles at The OWO.
A word on traffic
State occasions close Whitehall several times a year; we track the ceremonial calendar and re-route via the Embankment automatically on those mornings.
The inbound leg
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to Raffles at The OWO rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
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.
The neighbours
Horse Guards Parade, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, The Houses of Parliament 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 Raffles at The OWO concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
Nearest Underground
The closest station is Green Park and Piccadilly 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 Raffles at The OWO
Raffles London at The OWO has anchored Whitehall since 2023, known above all for the Old War Office building and its marble staircase. A hotel held to that standard deserves a journey that matches it — which is exactly what a car booked ahead provides: a named driver, a price fixed before you travel, and none of the kerbside app roulette that can undo an otherwise faultless stay.
Cars draw into Whitehall Place at the hotel’s dedicated entrance rather than Whitehall itself — quieter, and clear of the ceremonial route. Allow roughly 45 min–1h 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.
State occasions close Whitehall several times a year; we track the ceremonial calendar and re-route via the Embankment automatically on those mornings. None of it changes the essentials — a fixed fare, every charge already counted, and a driver who is early rather than "nearly there". With Horse Guards Parade and Trafalgar Square close by, guests often add a stop and keep the car between them rather than starting afresh each time.

What does a car from Raffles at The OWO to Heathrow cost?
From £60 for a saloon to Heathrow, agreed in full before you book. Gatwick is from £75; every other airport, station and cruise port is quoted the same open way — no meter, no surge, nothing added at the kerb.
Which entrance should I use at Raffles at The OWO?
Cars draw into Whitehall Place at the hotel’s dedicated entrance rather than Whitehall itself — quieter, and clear of the ceremonial route.
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 cars can I choose from?
Plenty of choice. If it's an impression that matters — a client, an occasion — the First Class S-Class does it; for everyday comfort the Executive is ideal. Tell us the day and we'll suggest the right one.
Can I keep the car by the hour instead?
Yes, and many guests prefer it — a chauffeur at your disposal for meetings, shopping or an evening, waiting between stops. Quoted up front, it usually beats booking each leg separately.
Can you collect me for a very early flight?
We're 24/7. For the first departure of the day your chauffeur is outside Raffles at The OWO before the lobby has properly woken, at the same fixed fare as any other hour.
Can we make a stop on the way?
Multiple pickups and stops are no trouble. Guests often gather a group across Whitehall or run an errand en route to the airport — arrange it ahead and it's simply part of the one fixed fare.
“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.”
