Your journey
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Ritz, your driver meets you on the concourse at King's Cross Station with a name board, your train tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: pickups run from Arlington Street at the hotel’s side entrance, where the doormen know to expect pre-booked chauffeurs — smoother than stopping on Piccadilly itself.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at King's Cross Station, and a car at the door at The Ritz — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Both directions, one price
The Ritz to King's Cross Station or the reverse — the fixed fare from £45 holds either way.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.

At the hotel end
