Before you travel
Good to know about The Wellesley.
A word on traffic
For groups beyond the hotel’s house fleet, our MPVs and sedans match the standard for airport runs — the concierge books us for exactly that.
Around the hotel
Hyde Park Corner, The Lanesborough, Belgrave Square, Hyde Park are all close by — several walkable, the rest a short run with the car held between stops.
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.
What’s in the fare
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.
Through the front desk
Happy to work directly with the The Wellesley concierge — standing arrangements, account billing and repeat bookings for regular guests are all straightforward.
When to leave
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.
Getting to and from The Wellesley
The Wellesley Knightsbridge has anchored Knightsbridge since 2012, known above all for its cigar terrace and deco jazz-age interiors. A hotel held to that standard deserves a journey that matches it — which is exactly what a car booked ahead provides: a named driver, a price fixed before you travel, and none of the kerbside app roulette that can undo an otherwise faultless stay.
The hotel faces the Lanesborough across Knightsbridge’s opening yards — cars use the Old Barrack Yard flank for a calmer load. From there, Heathrow is usually 40–55 min away, with Gatwick, the other London airports, the mainline termini and the south-coast cruise ports all quoted before you ride. Fly in and the pattern reverses — a name board in arrivals (at the airport, never the lobby), the flight tracked, and an hour of waiting built in so a slow carousel stays the driver's problem, not yours.
For groups beyond the hotel’s house fleet, our MPVs and sedans match the standard for airport runs — the concierge books us for exactly that. None of it changes the essentials — a fixed fare, every charge already counted, and a driver who is early rather than "nearly there". With Hyde Park Corner and The Lanesborough close by, guests often add a stop and keep the car between them rather than starting afresh each time.

What does a car from The Wellesley to Heathrow cost?
A saloon to Heathrow starts at £47, and that figure is the whole of it: tolls, tracking and an hour's waiting included. Gatwick runs from £47. You see the price before you commit, not after the journey.
Which entrance should I use at The Wellesley?
The hotel faces the Lanesborough across Knightsbridge’s opening yards — cars use the Old Barrack Yard flank for a calmer load.
Will I be charged extra for the Congestion Charge or ULEZ?
Yes — being central, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ apply, and both are baked into the fixed price. Worth comparing against quotes that quietly add them at the end.
What about getting to the Eurostar?
St Pancras is a fixed £47 from The Wellesley, luggage carried kerb to concourse — the part the Underground never manages. We aim you at the check-in cut-off, not the departure time.
Can I keep the car by the hour instead?
Yes, and many guests prefer it — a chauffeur at your disposal for meetings, shopping or an evening, waiting between stops. Quoted up front, it usually beats booking each leg separately.
Do you carry seats for children?
We carry them at no charge; just tell us the ages and rough weights. The seats are fitted and checked before pickup, so there's no wrestling with straps at the Knightsbridge kerb.
Do you track flights on the way in?
We track it from take-off. The pickup shifts automatically to the real landing time, with an hour of waiting included free — so a slow carousel or a long immigration queue never costs you the car.
“I use P5 Chauffeurs every time I fly into and out of London. I'm impressed by their reliability, punctuality, and all-around professionalism. P5 is always my first choice.”
