Travel notes
Good to know about Buckingham Palace.
Getting dropped off
Vehicles cannot stop on the palace forecourt itself; your chauffeur sets down on Buckingham Gate or Grosvenor Place, two minutes’ level walk from the visitor entrance.
Worth knowing
State Room tickets are timed — we plan the drop-off twenty minutes ahead of your slot, which is enough for security without standing about.
A day, not a dash
Palaces and castles reward a whole day — state rooms, gardens, lunch in the town. Hourly hire keeps the car between all of it at one fixed price.
Timed state-room entry
Guided and timed tours mean the drop-off matters. We plan it to your slot with a security margin built in.
Combining visits
Palaces pair naturally with the towns around them — many clients add lunch or a second sight and keep the car across the day.
Getting to Buckingham Palace, and away again
A chauffeur for Buckingham Palace visits — State Room tours in summer, the Changing of the Guard year-round, and a car waiting when the crowds disperse. The pattern is the one P5 applies everywhere: a fixed fare agreed before you travel, a driver briefed on this venue specifically, and a return that is planned rather than improvised at the kerb.

From Heathrow Airport, allow 45 min–1h on a typical day — your driver plans around live traffic and the venue’s own calendar. Vehicles run from an everyday saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
