Our Services in Central London
Central London asks a lot of any journey: one-way systems, the Congestion Charge zone, pedestrianised streets around Covent Garden and Leicester Square, and the stop-start traffic of Holborn and the City. Covent Group Travel plans each booking around those realities, whether you need a single Mercedes-Benz S-Class for a meeting near St Paul’s or a coach for a theatre party in the West End.
Every booking starts as an enquiry. Tell us where you are going, how many people are travelling and the timings you are working to, and the team will come back with a quote and confirm vehicle availability.
OVERVIEW
Private Transport Across the West End and the City
Central London covers a remarkable spread of destinations in a small area: theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, the legal quarter around the Royal Courts of Justice, the hotels of the Strand, the galleries around Trafalgar Square and the financial district from Bank to Liverpool Street. We provide executive chauffeur services, minibus hire and coach hire for journeys that start, finish or pass through this part of the capital.
Because so much of the centre is busy on foot, we always agree pickup points that are practical and legal for the vehicle size you choose.
The City
Meetings and client visits from Bank to Liverpool Street and Moorgate.
Holborn & Bloomsbury
Legal, academic and hotel journeys around Russell Square and Kingsway.
EXECUTIVE CHAUFFEUR
S-Class and E-Class Journeys Between Meetings
A chauffeur-driven Mercedes-Benz S-Class or E-Class is well suited to days split between the City and the West End, where taxi queues and Underground changes eat into the diary. You can book a single transfer, or ask about hourly or full-day hire so the car stays on hand between appointments.
Share your itinerary with the enquiry, including any timed meetings, and the team will confirm what is realistic given the traffic in the centre. If a guest needs collecting from a hotel lobby or an office reception, let us know and we will note it on the booking.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Connecting Central London With Every London Airport
From the centre, the choice of airport usually decides the route. Heathrow journeys normally head out along the Embankment or Cromwell Road towards the A4 and M4. London City is reached east through the City and Limehouse Link. Gatwick runs south over the river towards the A23 and M23, while Stansted and Luton routes leave via the north and east of the city.
For arrivals, give us your flight number and terminal so the team can plan the pickup. A meeting inside the terminal can be requested and will be confirmed with your quote. See our airport transfers page for more detail.

MINIBUS & COACH
Group Travel for Theatre, Tours and Events
Groups visiting Central London often need a vehicle that can wait out of the way and return at a set time, such as after a matinee or a dinner reservation. Our 16-seater minibus and 24-seater midi coach work well for smaller parties, and the 32-seater and 37-seater coaches suit larger groups.
Coach set-down points in the West End are limited, so we plan drop-offs and collections around designated bays or nearby streets and will let you know where to meet before the day.
Theatre parties
Drop-off before curtain up and a planned collection point afterwards.
Sightseeing
Multi-stop days taking in Trafalgar Square, St Paul's and the Tower.
Event groups

Transport for Businesses and Hotel Guests
Central London hotels around the Strand, Covent Garden and Bloomsbury regularly host guests who need onward travel to airports, stations or meetings. We can quote for individual hotel transfers or for recurring arrangements, such as moving delegates between a hotel and a conference venue each morning.
For companies, our corporate travel service covers client collections, roadshow days visiting several offices, and staff transport for late finishes. Get in touch through the contact page if you would like to discuss regular bookings.
PICKUP INFORMATION
Practical Pickup Points in the Centre
Much of Covent Garden, Leicester Square and parts of Soho are pedestrianised or restricted at certain times, and Bank Junction is closed to most traffic during the day. Rather than promising a door-to-door collection that may not be possible, we agree a specific meeting point when the booking is confirmed.
Helpful details to include in your enquiry are the exact building name, the nearest street the vehicle can stop on, and a mobile number for the lead passenger. For rail arrivals at King's Cross, St Pancras, Euston or Liverpool Street, tell us the train and the exit you will use.
TRAVEL PLANNING
Planning Around Congestion and Events
Central London traffic is shaped by weekday rush hours, theatre start and finish times, marches and state occasions, and road works that change from week to week. We suggest building in extra time for any journey that must connect with a train, flight or timed event.
The centre also lies within the Congestion Charge zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone, so any applicable charges will be reflected in the quote the team provides. When you are ready, start an enquiry on our booking page.

Yes. Share the train number and arrival time with your enquiry and the team will agree a suitable meeting point near the station.
Do you provide coaches for West End theatre groups?
Yes. We can quote for minibuses and coaches for theatre trips, planning drop-off and collection around designated coach bays or nearby streets.
