How a private chauffeur compares with the alternatives for The Trafalgar.
| How you travel | Time | Cost | The catch |

Before you travel
Good to know about The Trafalgar.
Getting the hour right
New Year, Pride and major protests all centre on Trafalgar Square — on event days we collect from Pall Mall East instead, arranged with the doorman in advance.
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.
The inbound leg
Flying in, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight, and delivers you to The Trafalgar rested — 60 minutes of airport waiting always included.
Groups & events
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
The rail alternative
The closest station is Green Park and Piccadilly Circus. Handy for a light, single trip; less so with cases or a tight connection, which is where the door-to-door car earns its keep.
Concierge coordination
Happy to work directly with the The Trafalgar concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
The The Trafalgar car, arranged in advance
The Trafalgar St James opened in 2017 and has spent the years since earning its name for its rooftop bar looking straight down Whitehall. Guests who choose it tend to mind how the day runs, not only where it ends — and the transfer is where that care is most often lost. A pre-booked car puts it back: one driver, one price, and a plan for the door before anyone reaches the kerb.
Spring Gardens is the quiet cut behind Admiralty Arch; cars wait there rather than braving the square, and the hotel door is twenty paces. Allow roughly 45 min–1h to Heathrow outside the peaks, with fixed fares to Gatwick, City, Luton, Stansted, St Pancras and the cruise ports besides. Coming the other way, we follow the flight from the moment it leaves, meet you in the hall with your name, and keep the meter-free clock stopped for sixty minutes while you clear customs.
New Year, Pride and major protests all centre on Trafalgar Square — on event days we collect from Pall Mall East instead, arranged with the doorman in advance. 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. Trafalgar Square, The National Gallery, The Mall are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

What's the fixed fare from The Trafalgar to the airport?
From £64 for a saloon to Heathrow, agreed in full before you book. Gatwick is from £47; every other airport, station and cruise port is quoted the same open way — no meter, nothing added at the kerb.
Which entrance should I use at The Trafalgar?
Spring Gardens is the quiet cut behind Admiralty Arch; cars wait there rather than braving the square, and the hotel door is twenty paces.
Can you take me to St Pancras for the Eurostar?
A set £47 gets you to St Pancras with the bags handled throughout. Continental departures reward arriving unhurried, and door-to-door from The Trafalgar is the calm way to make the cut-off.
Can I request an executive or first-class car?
From a hybrid saloon to a first-class limousine, the choice is yours. Business travellers usually take the Executive; a family airport run with luggage, the estate or MPV. We'll advise if you're unsure.
Can the driver collect from two addresses?
Easily. The driver isn't counting minutes, so a considered stop — the office, a shop, a second passenger — fits without drama. Just mention it when you book so the schedule holds.
Do you run through the night?
Yes — pre-dawn runs are routine, and there's a 15% night supplement between 10pm and 6am, shown in the quote: a 4am pickup costs what a midday one does. Your driver confirms the evening before, so you're not watching the window.
How much luggage will fit?
Plenty, provided we know in advance. The saloon suits a couple travelling light; for a family shift or a house-move's worth of bags the MPVs and vans are the honest choice. Just give us the numbers.
