Travel notes
Good to know about Fortnum’s.
Getting dropped off
Duke Street St James’s runs down Fortnum’s flank with a workable kerb — hampers meet the boot there, out of Piccadilly’s stream.
Worth knowing
Christmas hamper collection by car beats delivery slots from November — buy, load, done, with the ice cream parlour as the reward.
The boot carries
Bags go into the car between stores, not onto your arms — the day ends with you and the driver, not you and the parcels.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Hourly is the trick
Shopping books best by the hour: the car shadows your route, holds the purchases, and the day compresses to its pleasant parts.
