Worth knowing
Good to know about South Place.
A word on traffic
Roadshow season books this hotel solid — our multi-stop City mornings (six meetings, one car) are practically a house service here.
No kerbside extras
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.
When to leave
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.
On the doorstep
Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Finsbury Circus, The Barbican are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
Weddings and dinners
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Billed to the room
Happy to work directly with the South Place concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
Getting to and from South Place
South Place Hotel has anchored City of London since 2012, known above all for D&D’s art-filled City bolthole with a Michelin-starred roof. 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.
South Place is a side street off Moorgate’s flow — cars wait at the hotel’s glass doors, unbothered by the arteries around. Allow roughly 50 min–1h 10 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.
Roadshow season books this hotel solid — our multi-stop City mornings (six meetings, one car) are practically a house service here. That's the whole of it: agree the fare, forget the meter, and let the driver mind the route while you mind the day. Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Finsbury Circus all sit within easy reach, and an hourly booking turns them into an afternoon rather than three separate fares.

How much is a chauffeur from South Place to Heathrow?
Expect £72 for a saloon to Heathrow and £105 to Gatwick, each fixed in advance. Weighed against a metered taxi, the value is the certainty: one price, confirmed in writing, whatever the M4 happens to be doing.
Where will my chauffeur meet me at South Place?
South Place is a side street off Moorgate’s flow — cars wait at the hotel’s glass doors, unbothered by the arteries around.
Which airport is best for South Place?
Geographically it's London City, roughly 15–25 min from the door — but since we price every London airport from South Place, let the flight decide and we'll handle the run.
Can we make a stop on the way?
Multiple pickups and stops are no trouble. Guests often gather a group across City of London or run an errand en route to the airport — arrange it ahead and it's simply part of the one fixed fare.
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.
Do you carry seats for children?
We carry them at no charge; just tell us the ages and rough weights. The seats are fitted and checked before pickup, so there's no wrestling with straps at the City of London kerb.
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.
“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.”
