Travel notes
Good to know about St Martins Lane.
Getting the hour right
The English National Opera is next door — curtain-plus-fifteen is the pickup that works, and we track overruns on the night.
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.
The inbound leg
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to St Martins Lane rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
Nearest Underground
The closest station is Covent Garden and Charing Cross. 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.
Around the hotel
The London Coliseum, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Theatreland are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
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.
The St Martins Lane car, arranged in advance
St Martins Lane has anchored Covent Garden since 1999, known above all for Philippe Starck’s lobby and theatre-district position. 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.
St Martin’s Lane pauses cars outside the hotel’s yellow-lit doors; on opera nights the driver holds on New Row until you appear. Heathrow sits about 45 min–1h from here in ordinary traffic, and every other terminal, station and port is priced the same transparent way. On the inbound leg your driver meets you inside arrivals with a board, watches the flight for delays, and holds the car free for an hour — so an immigration queue never becomes a missed connection.
The English National Opera is next door — curtain-plus-fifteen is the pickup that works, and we track overruns on the night. 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. The London Coliseum, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

How much is a chauffeur from St Martins Lane to Heathrow?
We quote £66 to Heathrow, £66 to Gatwick, and a set fare to every other terminal, station and port. Larger cars are priced up front too, so a family or a full luggage load never becomes an awkward sum at the end.
Where will my chauffeur meet me at St Martins Lane?
St Martin’s Lane pauses cars outside the hotel’s yellow-lit doors; on opera nights the driver holds on New Row until you appear.
Can I request an executive or first-class car?
From a hybrid saloon to a first-class limousine, the choice is yours. Business travellers usually take the Executive; a family airport run with luggage, the estate or MPV. We'll advise if you're unsure.
Should I book through the front desk or directly?
However suits you. Many guests let the St Martins Lane concierge handle it on the room account; others book directly and simply give their name at the door. It's the same car either way.
Can you take me to St Pancras for the Eurostar?
A set £47 gets you to St Pancras with the bags handled throughout. Continental departures reward arriving unhurried, and door-to-door from St Martins Lane is the calm way to make the cut-off.
What happens if my flight lands late?
Yes, live. Once you're in the air we follow the flight, so a delay just moves the collection: nothing for you to update, no charge for the wait, up to a full hour past landing.
Which London airport is closest to St Martins Lane?
London City is closest, about 20–30 min away, though "best" really follows your airline. We cover all the London airports at fixed fares, so the postcode needn't sway the booking.
