Transport in Westminster
Our Services in Westminster
Westminster is the seat of government and home to some of the most visited sites in the country, from the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace and St James’s Park. It is also a working district of government departments, embassies, professional bodies and hotels around Victoria and St James’s.
Covent Group Travel provides chauffeur cars, minibuses and coaches for journeys to and from Westminster. Send us an enquiry with your plans and the team will confirm a quote and availability.
OVERVIEW
Transport Around Whitehall, Victoria and St James's
Journeys in Westminster are often shaped by things outside your control: security cordons near Parliament, ceremonial rehearsals on the Mall, demonstrations in Parliament Square and heavy traffic around Victoria. We take these into account when planning, and we will suggest realistic meeting points rather than promising to stop directly outside every building.
Whether you need a single car for a meeting on Whitehall, a minibus for a delegation, or a coach for a school group visiting the Abbey, the team can advise on the right vehicle.
EXECUTIVE CHAUFFEUR
Discreet Chauffeur Cars for Official and Business Visits
Visitors to government departments, embassies and professional institutions often prefer a calm, private car over public transport. Our S-Class and E-Class vehicles are available for single transfers or for VIP and executive travel covering several appointments across St James's, Whitehall and Millbank.
If your schedule involves security checks or timed entry, include that in your enquiry. It helps the team plan drop-off timings that leave enough margin.
Visiting delegations sometimes need several cars arriving together. Tell us how many guests are travelling and any order of arrival, and the team will confirm what can be coordinated.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Heathrow, Gatwick and City Airport From Westminster
Westminster sits conveniently for both Heathrow and Gatwick. Heathrow routes typically run west through Knightsbridge or along the Embankment to the A4, while Gatwick routes cross the river at Vauxhall and follow the A23 south. Victoria station is also the London terminus for the Gatwick Express, so some travellers combine a car to Victoria with a train.
For door-to-door airport transfers, share your flight details and any luggage requirements so the team can recommend a suitable vehicle. Meet-and-greet can be requested.

MINIBUS & COACH
School, Tour and Delegation Groups
Westminster is a fixture on school trips and visitor itineraries. Coaches cannot simply stop anywhere near Parliament Square, so group drop-offs are planned around designated coach bays and quieter nearby streets. We will share the arrangements before the day.
For smaller delegations, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class or 16-seater minibus keeps everyone together. Larger groups can use our 37-seater coach, with other sizes available on enquiry.
Many groups combine Westminster with the South Bank, the London Eye or a river cruise from Westminster Pier. Share the full day plan and we can quote for the vehicle to stay with you.
CORPORATE & HOTEL
Conferences at the QEII Centre and Nearby Venues
The Queen Elizabeth II Centre on Broad Sanctuary hosts conferences, summits and exhibitions throughout the year, and Church House next door also runs events. Delegates often stay in hotels around Victoria, St James's Park and the South Bank.
Our conference and exhibition transport can cover hotel-to-venue shuttles, VIP collections and evening transport to dinners. For guests arriving at hotels in the area, see our hotel transfers service.
Event organisers can send us the delegate numbers, hotel list and session times. The team will suggest a vehicle mix and a timetable that fits the programme, then confirm availability.
PICKUP INFORMATION
Where Vehicles Can Meet You
Around the Palace of Westminster, stopping is tightly controlled. Drop-offs and collections are typically arranged on nearby streets, and the exact point is confirmed with your booking. At Victoria, the station forecourt and surrounding roads are busy, so we will agree a specific exit and meeting spot.
Roads around Buckingham Palace, the Mall and Horse Guards can close for ceremonies such as Trooping the Colour or state visits. If your journey falls on one of those days, tell us early so the route can be adjusted.
TRAVEL PLANNING
Tips for Travelling in Westminster

If you are unsure which drop-off point is closest to your building, mention it in your enquiry and the team will advise before the day.
