How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Franklin, your driver meets you on the concourse at Paddington Station with a name board, your train tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: egerton Gardens is residential and unhurried — the car waits at the door, and luggage crosses ten feet of pavement, no more.
Luggage handled
Between the The Franklin lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Knightsbridge approach and the Paddington Station pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Paddington Station, and a car at the door at The Franklin — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Cars & capacity
The Franklin to Paddington Station from £47.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book.
