What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Connaught, 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: carlos Place curves privately past the front door, and the hotel’s doormen manage the kerb — your chauffeur is signalled in the moment you appear.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Mayfair approach and the London City Airport pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at London City Airport, and a car at the door at The Connaught — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Luggage handled
Between the The Connaught lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.

The Mount Street shopping run — an hour with the car waiting between stops — is the booking Connaught guests make most after airport transfers.

The nearest station to The Connaught is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria) — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for London City Airport.
