Before you travel
Good to know about The Lanesborough.
Local timing
Your butler can coordinate luggage timing with our driver directly; tell the hotel a P5 car is booked and the handover happens without you.
Best departure times
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.
More than one car
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Billed to the room
Happy to work directly with the The Lanesborough concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
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.
Nearest Underground
The closest station is Victoria and Hyde Park Corner. 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.
A chauffeur for The Lanesborough, done properly
The Lanesborough opened in 1991 and has spent the years since earning its name for butler service with every room, in the old St George’s Hospital. Guests who choose it tend to mind how the day runs, not only where it ends — and the transfer is where that care is most often lost. A pre-booked car puts it back: one driver, one price, and a plan for the door before anyone reaches the kerb.
Cars enter from Lanesborough Place, the private slip behind the hotel — guests never board on Hyde Park Corner itself. 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.
Your butler can coordinate luggage timing with our driver directly; tell the hotel a P5 car is booked and the handover happens without you. That's the whole of it: agree the fare, forget the meter, and let the driver mind the route while you mind the day. Wellington Arch, Hyde Park, Belgrave Square all sit within easy reach, and an hourly booking turns them into an afternoon rather than three separate fares.

How much is a chauffeur from The Lanesborough to Heathrow?
Heathrow is £103 in a saloon, Gatwick £103. 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 will my chauffeur meet me at The Lanesborough?
Cars enter from Lanesborough Place, the private slip behind the hotel — guests never board on Hyde Park Corner itself.
What's the journey time to Heathrow from The Lanesborough?
About 40–55 min, though we plan around your flight rather than the average — early departures leave before the roads fill, and inbound we time the collection to your landing. London City is nearer still, roughly 25–35 min.
Do you offer hourly hire for a day around town?
Absolutely. Hourly hire keeps the same car and driver all day — useful around Hyde Park Corner when you'd rather not start a fresh booking for every stop. We agree the rate before you set off.
What happens if my flight lands late?
That's the whole point of booking ahead. We watch the arrivals board so you needn't text from the gate; the driver knows before you've cleared passport control, and the included hour absorbs the usual airport friction.
Can you provide a child or booster seat?
Free of charge and fitted for you. Infant carriers, toddler seats and boosters are all available — flag it at booking and the right one is ready, which taxis rarely manage at short notice.
Are tolls and the Congestion Charge included?
The Lanesborough sits inside the central zones, so the Congestion Charge and ULEZ are already in every fare — nothing is tacked on at the kerb.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
