Our chauffeurs know Leicester Square — which entrance takes a car, which street is one-way, and how to reach London City without the scenic detour.
A car at the kerb

Before you travel
Good to know about The Londoner.
Local timing
Film premiere nights close the square with little warning — we watch the schedule and shift pickups to Orange Street automatically.
What’s in the fare
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.
Concierge coordination
Happy to work directly with the The Londoner concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
The neighbours
Leicester Square, The National Gallery, Theatreland, Chinatown are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
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.
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.
A chauffeur for The Londoner, done properly
The Londoner has anchored Leicester Square since 2021, known above all for being the world’s first super-boutique — eight storeys down as well as up. A hotel held to that standard deserves a journey that matches it — which is exactly what a car booked ahead provides: a named driver, a price fixed before you travel, and none of the kerbside app roulette that can undo an otherwise faultless stay.
Leicester Square is pedestrian at its heart; the hotel’s set-down on Whitcomb Street is the practised approach, thirty seconds from the doors. From there, Heathrow is usually 45 min–1h 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.
Film premiere nights close the square with little warning — we watch the schedule and shift pickups to Orange Street automatically. None of it changes the essentials — a fixed fare, every charge already counted, and a driver who is early rather than "nearly there". With Leicester Square and The National Gallery close by, guests often add a stop and keep the car between them rather than starting afresh each time.

What does a car from The Londoner to Heathrow cost?
Expect £64 for a saloon to Heathrow and £103 to Gatwick, each fixed in advance. Weighed against a metered taxi, the value is the certainty: one price, confirmed in writing, whatever the M4 happens to be doing.
Where does the car wait at The Londoner?
Leicester Square is pedestrian at its heart; the hotel’s set-down on Whitcomb Street is the practised approach, thirty seconds from the doors.
Are tolls and the Congestion Charge included?
The Londoner sits inside the central zones, so the Congestion Charge and ULEZ are already in every fare — nothing is tacked on at the kerb.
Should I book through the front desk or directly?
The front desk can arrange it, or you can. Direct bookings send the driver's name and number straight to your phone; concierge bookings land on the room bill. Pick whichever is less effort on the day.
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 the driver collect from two addresses?
Yes — one address or several. Collect a partner, drop a bag, pause for coffee; the car stays with you throughout, no meter running while you're out. Tell us the plan and the quote reflects it.
Isn't the Underground quicker from The Londoner?
The nearest station is Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus, and for a lone traveller it can be quick. With cases, an early flight or a suit that shouldn't crease, door-to-terminal usually wins once you count the walk, the steps and the change — and the fare is fixed either way.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
