Chauffeur Service for the London Design Festival
The London Design Festival takes place every September across the whole city rather than in one venue. Designers, architects, buyers, press and visitors move between design districts, showrooms, installations and launch events, often several in a day.
That spread is what makes the festival difficult to travel. A chauffeur-driven car gives you one vehicle for the day, a chauffeur who knows the routes between the districts, and somewhere to leave your bags and samples between stops.
Travelling Between the Design Districts
Festival venues and design districts are scattered from South Kensington to Shoreditch, and the direct routes between them rarely follow the Underground map.
We regularly run itineraries covering:
- South Kensington and the Brompton district
- Mayfair and Bond Street showrooms
- Chelsea and the design quarter around the Kings Road
- Shoreditch and the East London venues
- King's Cross and Coal Drops Yard
- Clerkenwell and Farringdon
- Covent Garden and the West End
- Westminster and the City of London
Hourly Chauffeur Hire for Multi-Venue Days
Most festival visitors book by the hour rather than as separate transfers. The chauffeur and car stay with you, so a schedule that changes during the day costs you nothing but a word to the driver.
An as-directed booking suits a day that includes:
- Several exhibitions or showroom visits
- Client and supplier meetings
- Product launches and press previews
- Business lunches
- Evening receptions and private views
Airport Transfers for Festival Visitors
Many visitors fly in for the festival week. Your chauffeur monitors the flight, meets you inside the terminal and drives you straight to your hotel or your first venue.
We cover:
- Heathrow Airport
- Gatwick Airport
- London City Airport
- Stansted Airport
- Luton Airport
- Farnborough Airport
- Biggin Hill Airport
- Private aviation terminals and FBOs
Executive Travel for Business Visitors
The festival is a working week for a lot of the people attending it: buyers, specifiers, brand teams and agencies meeting clients between the exhibitions.
A chauffeur-driven car is a private place to prepare between appointments. You can take a call, review a presentation or read through a brief on the move instead of losing that time on a platform.
Vehicles for Design Teams and Guests
The right car depends on who is travelling and what is travelling with them.
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series for executives and individual guests
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class for everyday business travel
- Mercedes-Benz V-Class for teams of up to seven, with room for samples, boards and presentation materials
- Range Rover for a larger, higher-seated car with generous luggage space
Hotel Transfers During Festival Week
We collect from hotels across central London throughout the festival, most often in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Kensington, Westminster and the City.
A standing morning collection and an evening return are the simplest arrangement for a week of full days, and both can be adjusted the night before.
What Every Journey Includes
The service is the same whether you book one transfer or the whole week:
- A professional chauffeur in business dress
- Punctual collection and help with luggage
- Flight monitoring and meet and greet on airport work
- Bottled water, phone charging and Wi-Fi on board
- A quiet cabin you can work or take calls in
- Reservations and changes handled 24/7
