Travel notes
Good to know about The Draycott.
Getting the hour right
Peter Jones and the King’s Road start ninety seconds away — the hourly car with boot space is the Draycott guest’s standing order.
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.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the The Draycott 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 Draycott rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
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.
Groups & events
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Arriving and leaving The Draycott well
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like The Draycott Hotel — Chelsea since 1988, celebrated for its theatrical bedrooms and private garden square — 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.
Cadogan Gardens wraps its private square with quiet kerbs — cars wait at the hotel railings, and residents’ permits never trouble a moving pickup. From there, Heathrow is usually 40–55 min away, with Gatwick, the other London airports, the mainline termini and the south-coast cruise ports all quoted before you ride. Fly in and the pattern reverses — a name board in arrivals (at the airport, never the lobby), the flight tracked, and an hour of waiting built in so a slow carousel stays the driver's problem, not yours.
Peter Jones and the King’s Road start ninety seconds away — the hourly car with boot space is the Draycott guest’s standing order. That's the whole of it: agree the fare, forget the meter, and let the driver mind the route while you mind the day. Sloane Square, The King’s Road, Cadogan Hall all sit within easy reach, and an hourly booking turns them into an afternoon rather than three separate fares.

What's the fixed fare from The Draycott to the airport?
Heathrow is £55 in a saloon, Gatwick £70. 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.
Where does the car wait at The Draycott?
Cadogan Gardens wraps its private square with quiet kerbs — cars wait at the hotel railings, and residents’ permits never trouble a moving pickup.
Why book a car rather than take the tube?
Sloane Square (District, Circle) 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.
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.
Will my cases and a golf bag fit?
It depends what you're carrying: two big cases fit a saloon comfortably; beyond that we'll send an estate or the V-Class. Golf clubs, ski bags and prams are all fine with a word ahead.
Which airport is best for The Draycott?
Nearest is London City at 30–40 min, which is handy — but don't over-think it: we run to Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Luton, Stansted and Southend alike, each priced in advance.
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.
