Your journey

Drivers who know the approach
Our chauffeurs know South Kensington — which entrance takes a car, which street is one-way, and how to reach London City without the scenic detour.

Before you travel
Good to know about The Pelham.
A word on traffic
For Heathrow the A4 is one turn away — 25-minute off-peak runs from this door surprise guests who padded an hour.
Beating the peak
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.
On the doorstep
The Natural History Museum, The V&A, The Science Museum, South Kensington are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
No kerbside extras
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.
Weddings and dinners
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the The Pelham concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
A chauffeur for The Pelham, done properly
The Pelham London has anchored South Kensington since 1989, known above all for its position opposite South Kensington station and the museums. 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.
Cromwell Place holds a workable kerb directly outside; museum-day traffic peaks mid-morning, which our timings simply avoid. 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.
For Heathrow the A4 is one turn away — 25-minute off-peak runs from this door surprise guests who padded an hour. Through all of it the promise holds: the price is set before the wheels turn, tolls and charges sit inside it, and the car is where it should be when you are. The Natural History Museum, The V&A, The Science Museum are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

What does a car from The Pelham to Heathrow cost?
A saloon to Heathrow starts at £55, and that figure is the whole of it: tolls, tracking and an hour's waiting included. Gatwick runs from £70. You see the price before you commit, not after the journey.
Where does the car wait at The Pelham?
Cromwell Place holds a workable kerb directly outside; museum-day traffic peaks mid-morning, which our timings simply avoid.
What's the journey time to Heathrow from The Pelham?
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 30–40 min.
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.
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.
Can I request an executive or first-class car?
Six classes, from an everyday saloon up to the S-Class and 7 Series in First Class, plus estates, the V-Class MPV and a 16-seat minibus. Name the occasion and we'll match the car.
How much luggage will fit?
A saloon takes two large cases, an estate four, and the V-Class MPV or Sprinter swallows a full trans-Atlantic load. Tell us the count when you book and the right car turns up.
