How it works
Met at the door, settled in advance.
Cars collect from the Denman Street corner rather than Piccadilly itself — a calmer thirty-yard walk the doormen will point you to.
Met at the door
Your chauffeur stands at The Dilly exactly where the doormen expect pre-booked cars — no circling the block, no phone tag, no scanning the rank.
Local to the address
Our chauffeurs know Piccadilly — which entrance takes a car, which street is one-way, and how to reach London City without the scenic detour.
Executive standard
Clean, current, unbranded cars and chauffeurs who understand that the best service is the kind you barely notice.

Local knowledge
Good to know about The Dilly.
Getting the hour right
Theatre packages are the play here: car to the show, interval drinks pre-ordered, car home after — one booking, one price.
On the doorstep
Piccadilly Circus, Theatreland, Regent Street, St James’s Church are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
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.
The rail alternative
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.
Tolls & charges
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.
Billed to the room
Happy to work directly with the The Dilly concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
Getting to and from The Dilly
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like The Dilly — Piccadilly since 1908, celebrated for its Edwardian bones a minute from the Circus — 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.
Cars collect from the Denman Street corner rather than Piccadilly itself — a calmer thirty-yard walk the doormen will point you to. 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.
Theatre packages are the play here: car to the show, interval drinks pre-ordered, car home after — one booking, one price. 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. Piccadilly Circus, Theatreland, Regent Street are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

How much is a chauffeur from The Dilly to Heathrow?
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 Dilly?
Cars collect from the Denman Street corner rather than Piccadilly itself — a calmer thirty-yard walk the doormen will point you to.
Which cars can I choose from?
Plenty of choice. If it's an impression that matters — a client, an occasion — the First Class S-Class does it; for everyday comfort the Executive is ideal. Tell us the day and we'll suggest the right one.
Can the hotel concierge arrange this for me?
Either works. Concierge teams book us daily; equally you can book online or on 020 7993 6739 and tell the desk a P5 car is expected — the doormen take it from there.
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.
Why book a car rather than take the tube?
Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus is closest on foot. The tube's fine unladen, but hauling luggage down to a platform, changing once or twice, then queuing for a cab at the far end rarely saves the time it promises — which is the gap the car fills.
Which airport is best for The Dilly?
Geographically it's London City, roughly 25–35 min from the door — but since we price every London airport from The Dilly, let the flight decide and we'll handle the run.
