How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The May Fair, your driver meets you in arrivals at London City Airport with a name board, flight tracked, 60 minutes of waiting included. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: stratton Street is short and one-way; cars wait directly at the awning, and the doormen turn the kerb over briskly on event nights.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at London City Airport, and a car at the door at The May Fair — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Luggage handled
Between the The May Fair lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.

Local knowledge
During awards season the hotel fills with delegations — block bookings with sequenced cars are the arrangement that keeps a red-carpet evening calm.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to The May Fair is Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria) — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for London City Airport.
At the hotel end
Stratton Street is short and one-way; cars wait directly at the awning, and the doormen turn the kerb over briskly on event nights.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
