Local knowledge
Good to know about The Sanderson.
Getting the hour right
The Sanderson and EDITION share a street and a peak hour — Friday 6pm pickups here book out first across all Fitzrovia.
On the doorstep
Oxford Street, Charlotte Street, Soho, The BT Tower are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
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.
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.
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.
Best departure times
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.
Arriving and leaving The Sanderson well
Sanderson London has anchored Fitzrovia since 2000, known above all for its Long Bar and surrealist courtyard garden. 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.
The hotel’s forecourt setback off Berners Street lets cars stop clear of the traffic flow — board at the glass doors. 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.
The Sanderson and EDITION share a street and a peak hour — Friday 6pm pickups here book out first across all Fitzrovia. 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. Oxford Street, Charlotte Street, Soho are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

What does a car from The Sanderson to Heathrow cost?
Heathrow is £60 in a saloon, Gatwick £75. What makes it worth booking isn't only the number but that it holds — traffic, roadworks and the hour of day are our risk to carry, not a surprise on your bill.
Which entrance should I use at The Sanderson?
The hotel’s forecourt setback off Berners Street lets cars stop clear of the traffic flow — board at the glass doors.
Can I keep the car by the hour instead?
We do: half a day, a full day, or a few hours across an evening. The car waits while you don't, and for three or four stops it's typically better value than separate transfers.
Which airport is best for The Sanderson?
Nearest is London City at 25–35 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.
How long does it take from The Sanderson to Heathrow?
Heathrow is usually 45 min–1h 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.
Will my cases and a golf bag fit?
It depends what you're carrying: two big cases fit a saloon comfortably; beyond that we'll send an estate or the V-Class. Golf clubs, ski bags and prams are all fine with a word ahead.
