Key luxury shopping areas include:

• Bond Street

• Mayfair

• Harrods

Our chauffeurs can coordinate shopping visits across multiple locations, wait nearby during appointments and discreetly assist with transporting purchases.

To illustrate the level of flexibility we offer: one of our clients contacted us in search of a specific Rolex watch that was unavailable anywhere in Europe except in London. That same day, we arranged a private jet and chauffeur service. The client visited the jeweller and returned to Amsterdam within hours.

Experiencing London with a private chauffeur

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and one of the world’s leading global cities. It is a city that places exceptionally high demands on mobility. Navigating London comfortably requires more than a vehicle it requires deep local knowledge, anticipation and precision. According to industry research, private transportation in London ranks among the highest in the world, largely due to the rigorous standards expected of professional drivers.

Our chauffeurs are accustomed to operating in one of Europe’s most complex urban environments. London’s city centre is permanently busy, congestion is a daily reality and access regulations change constantly. Our chauffeurs know which areas to avoid at specific times, where discreet drop-off points are located and how to maintain smooth progress even during peak hours. This allows our guests to travel calmly, safely and efficiently while remaining focused on business, calls or rest.

Culture, landmarks and curated city movement

London offers an extraordinary concentration of cultural and historical landmarks. With a private chauffeur, guests can experience highlights such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Tower of London in a controlled and comfortable way without the stress of crowds, parking or navigation.

Our chauffeurs are familiar with optimal visiting times and the most convenient pick-up and drop-off locations, even in heavily congested areas such as Westminster. For guests interested in museums, London offers world-class institutions including the British Museum, Tate Modern and the Natural History Museum. City tours and cultural itineraries can be fully tailored to personal interests and schedules.

VIP transport for prestigious events in London

London is also a key stage for some of the world’s most prestigious events. Our chauffeurs regularly provide VIP transportation and travel management services during occasions such as the Farnborough International Airshow, Royal Ascot, London Fashion Week, Wimbledon and the Epsom Derby.

These events require precise coordination, discretion and flexibility. Our chauffeurs are familiar with temporary access restrictions, security protocols and event-specific traffic flows, ensuring that guests arrive on time and in complete comfort — regardless of the complexity of the schedule.

Safety in London

Apart from the usual risks (such as pickpockets), visitors are exceptionally safe in London. Nevertheless, there are two things we want to remind you of:

• Firstly, be careful when wearing football jerseys. The rivalry between different clubs is taken very seriously by supporters. London, which has several football clubs of its own, is no exception. People have unwittingly gotten into fights simply because of the shirt they wore.

• Secondly, it is very important to remember that people in the UK drive on the left side of the road. This catches many tourists by surprise, which may lead to serious accidents.

How do we guarantee the safety of VIPs in London?

Our chauffeurs in London know the city inside and out. They will always avoid high-risk areas. If need be, they can offer advice during the drive; they are always ready to answer any questions their guests may have.

If you have any additional wishes with regard to security, please let us know.

We will come up with a tailor-made solution. Think of e.g. the use of security drivers. We can also provide a bodyguard and/or armoured transport.
