How it works
Travelling to Raffles at The OWO, 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: cars draw into Whitehall Place at the hotel’s dedicated entrance rather than Whitehall itself — quieter, and clear of the ceremonial route.
