What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Stafford, 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: st James’s Place is a cul-de-sac many drivers miss; ours don’t. The car waits at the courtyard entrance, two minutes’ quiet from Piccadilly.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Luggage handled
Between the The Stafford lobby and the terminal, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Flight tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
The fleet

Travel notes
Good to know about The Stafford to London City Airport.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
Local knowledge
The walk to Green Park tube looks short on the map but cobbles and cases disagree — the fixed fare to Paddington for the Heathrow Express is the painless alternative, though door-to-door is usually quicker still.
Timing
The 8-mile run typically takes 20–30 min. Your driver reads the live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
At the hotel end
St James’s Place is a cul-de-sac many drivers miss; ours don’t. The car waits at the courtyard entrance, two minutes’ quiet from Piccadilly.
