Timing
The 10-mile run typically takes 25–35 min. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to The Franklin is Knightsbridge (Piccadilly line) — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for London City Airport.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
Local knowledge
The Brompton Road crawl two streets north never touches this address — airport runs slip out via Fulham Road instead.
