How it works
Met at the door, settled in advance.
The station forecourt off the Strand doubles as the hotel’s drive — pre-booked cars pull in under the Eleanor Cross and load in shelter.
By the hour, too
Hold the chauffeur by the hour for meetings, the shops or a long evening — quoted up front, the car waiting between stops.

Local knowledge
Good to know about The Clermont.
A word on traffic
Trafalgar Square events spill to this corner several times a year; our drivers reroute via Northumberland Avenue without being asked.
Concierge coordination
Happy to work directly with the The Clermont concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
For arriving guests
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to The Clermont rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
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.
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.
The neighbours
Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross, The Strand, Covent Garden are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
Arriving and leaving The Clermont well
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like The Clermont, Charing Cross — Charing Cross since 1865, celebrated for sitting directly above Charing Cross station — only to argue with a meter on the way out. Booking a chauffeur removes it. The fare is settled up front, the car is chosen for the address, and the driver already knows which door is yours.
The station forecourt off the Strand doubles as the hotel’s drive — pre-booked cars pull in under the Eleanor Cross and load in shelter. 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.
Trafalgar Square events spill to this corner several times a year; our drivers reroute via Northumberland Avenue without being asked. None of it changes the essentials — a fixed fare, every charge already counted, and a driver who is early rather than "nearly there". With Trafalgar Square and Charing Cross close by, guests often add a stop and keep the car between them rather than starting afresh each time.

How much is a chauffeur from The Clermont to Heathrow?
We quote £65 to Heathrow, £65 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.
Which entrance should I use at The Clermont?
The station forecourt off the Strand doubles as the hotel’s drive — pre-booked cars pull in under the Eleanor Cross and load in shelter.
What about getting to the Eurostar?
Yes — £47 to St Pancras, and worth it on a Eurostar morning: no changing lines with cases, no queue for a taxi at the far end. The driver knows the drop-off nearest check-in.
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.
Can you collect me for a very early flight?
No hour is too early. We run right through the night, which suits the first Heathrow wave and the red-eye crowd — book it, then sleep; the car will be there.
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.
Will I be charged extra for the Congestion Charge or ULEZ?
Yes — being central, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ apply, and both are baked into the fixed price. Worth comparing against quotes that quietly add them at the end.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
