Your journey
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Trafalgar, 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: spring Gardens is the quiet cut behind Admiralty Arch; cars wait there rather than braving the square, and the hotel door is twenty paces.
Luggage handled
Between the The Trafalgar lobby and the concourse, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Both directions, one price
The Trafalgar 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.
Pick your class

Before you travel
Good to know about The Trafalgar to Waterloo Station.
The rail alternative
The nearest station to The Trafalgar is Green Park and Piccadilly Circus — useful travelling light, less so with a full case load bound for Waterloo Station.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur holds a full private-hire licence, is insured for you as a passenger, and is DBS-checked.
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
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.

What's the fixed fare between The Trafalgar 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.
Does the price change with traffic?
No. The fare is fixed the moment you book; traffic, roadworks and the hour of day are our problem, not yours.
Where will the driver be at Waterloo Station?
On the concourse with a name board, or at the station’s designated pickup point — confirmed with your booking.
And where does the car wait 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.
What time should the driver collect me?
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.
Can I book a return as well?
Yes — returns are welcome and often discounted, and inbound legs are tracked so a delay never strands you.
