On the day
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Ritz, your driver meets you on the concourse at Waterloo 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.
Both directions, one price
The Ritz to Waterloo Station or the reverse — the fixed fare from £47 holds either way.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Train tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.

Worth knowing
Good to know about The Ritz to Waterloo Station.
Timing
The 2-mile run typically takes 10–20 min. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual train.
Local knowledge
If your stay includes the Palm Court, note that tea sittings run to a strict clock; we time airport departures around your sitting rather than the other way about.
At the hotel end
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.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to The Ritz is Green Park and Piccadilly Circus — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for Waterloo Station.

The Ritz to Waterloo Station
questions.
Anything else — call us any time on 020 8742 2888.
What's the fixed fare between The Ritz and Waterloo Station?
From £47 for a saloon, agreed before you book — the same fare holds in the opposite direction, and larger vehicles are priced up front too.
Could the fare go up if the roads are bad?
No. The fare is fixed the moment you book; traffic, roadworks and the hour of day are our problem, not yours.
How do I find my chauffeur at Waterloo Station?
On the concourse with a name board, or at the station’s designated pickup point — confirmed with your booking.
Where's the pickup at the The Ritz end?
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.
How long should I allow?
The drive is typically 10–20 min. For departures add a comfortable margin for boarding — we're happy to advise a pickup time when you book.
Do you cover the journey back too?
Yes — returns are welcome and often discounted, and inbound legs are tracked so a delay never strands you.
“Always had great conversations with the drivers during the multiple trips I had with P5. I strongly recommend.”
