Chauffeur Service to Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace
Salon Privé is held in the grounds of Blenheim Palace at Woodstock in Oxfordshire, around 65 miles north-west of central London. Depending on traffic and the time you leave, the drive usually takes about two hours each way.
That distance is the reason most guests book a chauffeur. You arrive without having driven, you are set down at the entrance rather than in a field, and the car is waiting at a time you have agreed when the day ends.
This page covers the Blenheim Palace event. For the London edition of Salon Privé, see our separate Salon Privé London chauffeur service page.
Transfers from London to Blenheim Palace
We collect from anywhere in London and drive directly to Blenheim. Most bookings start from a hotel, a private address or an office, with a return at a time set in advance.
Regular collection points include:
- Mayfair and St James's
- Knightsbridge and Belgravia
- Chelsea and Kensington
- Westminster and the West End
- The City of London and Canary Wharf
- Private residences and corporate offices anywhere in Greater London
Airport Transfers for Salon Privé
International guests can be met at the airport and driven straight to Blenheim or to a hotel beforehand. Give us the flight number when booking and the chauffeur tracks it, so a delay moves the collection rather than costing it.
We cover:
- Heathrow Airport, the closest of the major airports to Oxfordshire
- Gatwick Airport
- London City Airport
- Luton Airport
- Stansted Airport
- Farnborough, Biggin Hill and regional private aviation terminals
Heathrow to Salon Privé
Heathrow is the most practical arrival point for Salon Privé: the M40 route to Woodstock avoids central London entirely, and the drive is usually around 90 minutes.
Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal, helps with luggage and takes you either to the event or to your hotel first, with waiting time included while you clear customs.
Vehicles for the Journey
Salon Privé is an event about exceptional cars, and the journey to it is a long enough drive to be worth getting right.
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series for couples, executives and VIP guests
- Mercedes-Benz E-Class for a comfortable standard executive transfer
- Mercedes-Benz V-Class for families, corporate parties and groups of up to seven
- Range Rover for a higher-seated car with generous luggage space
Corporate Hospitality and VIP Guests
Salon Privé is used a great deal for client entertaining, and a chauffeur is part of how that day is presented. Guests are collected from their own addresses, travel together or separately as they prefer, and are returned at the end of the day without anyone having to stay sober for the drive home.
For a hospitality group we can run several vehicles on the same itinerary, with one point of contact for the whole arrangement.
Hourly Hire and Oxfordshire Itineraries
A number of guests make more of the trip than the event itself. With hourly hire the car stays with you, so Salon Privé can sit inside a longer day.
A typical itinerary might run Blenheim Palace, then Oxford or Woodstock, then dinner, then back to London. Other guests continue into the Cotswolds for a night rather than returning the same evening.
- Oxford city centre
- Woodstock village
- The Cotswolds
- Country house hotels in Oxfordshire
- Private dining venues
- A return transfer to London or the airport the following day
