Your journey
Met at the door, settled in advance.
The Aldwych crescent gives the Waldorf a generous kerb between two theatres — cars wait at the main doors except at theatre turn-out, when we stage on Kingsway.
Drivers who know the approach
Our chauffeurs know Aldwych — which entrance takes a car, which street is one-way, and how to reach London City without the scenic detour.
A car at the kerb
Your chauffeur stands at The Waldorf exactly where the doormen expect pre-booked cars — no circling the block, no phone tag, no scanning the rank.
By the hour, too
Hold the chauffeur by the hour for meetings, the shops or a long evening — quoted up front, the car waiting between stops.
Pick your class
The Waldorf from £47.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.

Before you travel
Good to know about The Waldorf.
Local timing
Two theatres bracket the hotel — if your departure coincides with curtain-down, leave ten minutes earlier or let us route out via Drury Lane.
On the doorstep
Theatreland, Somerset House, Covent Garden, The Royal Opera House are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
More than one car
For weddings, board dinners and delegations we run coordinated multi-car pickups from the door — one booking, one invoice, every guest accounted for.
Beating the peak
For London City, the road runs freest early — before the morning build-up and after the evening one. Tell us the flight and we’ll name the pickup time rather than leave you guessing.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the The Waldorf concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
The rail alternative
The closest station is Covent Garden and Charing Cross. 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.
Arriving and leaving The Waldorf well
There's a particular letdown in leaving somewhere like The Waldorf Hilton — Aldwych since 1908, celebrated for its Palm Court tea dances and Aldwych curve — only to argue with a meter on the way out. Booking a chauffeur removes it. The fare is settled up front, the car is chosen for the address, and the driver already knows which door is yours.
The Aldwych crescent gives the Waldorf a generous kerb between two theatres — cars wait at the main doors except at theatre turn-out, when we stage on Kingsway. 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.
Two theatres bracket the hotel — if your departure coincides with curtain-down, leave ten minutes earlier or let us route out via Drury Lane. 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. Theatreland, Somerset House, Covent Garden are all a short run away — one or two worth folding into the journey while the driver waits.

What does a car from The Waldorf to Heathrow cost?
From £67 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 Waldorf?
The Aldwych crescent gives the Waldorf a generous kerb between two theatres — cars wait at the main doors except at theatre turn-out, when we stage on Kingsway.
How long does it take from The Waldorf to Heathrow?
Heathrow is usually 45 min–1h from here. The honest answer is that it depends on the hour, which is precisely why the driver watches traffic live and adjusts — so you're not doing motorway maths at five in the morning.
Do you track flights on the way in?
Every inbound flight is monitored. Land early and the car is already there; held on the tarmac or at the desk, and the driver waits — gratis — for sixty minutes after touchdown.
Do you carry seats for children?
Of course. Travelling with children is exactly where a pre-booked car earns its place: the seats are in and adjusted before you come down, not improvised at the door.
Will my cases and a golf bag fit?
It depends what you're carrying: two big cases fit a saloon comfortably; beyond that we'll send an estate or the V-Class. Golf clubs, ski bags and prams are all fine with a word ahead.
Can we make a stop on the way?
Of course. Add a stop for a colleague, a restaurant or a quick errand and the driver waits — just flag it at booking so the timing and fixed price allow for it.
