Cheval Collection Chauffeur Service

Cheval Collection operates a portfolio of luxury serviced apartments across central London — providing the space, kitchen facilities, and residential character of a private apartment with the standard of service usually associated with a five-star hotel. The main Kensington property is Cheval Gloucester Park at Gloucester Road SW7; other locations include Cheval Calico House in Blackfriars, Cheval Phoenix Place near Bloomsbury, and several further addresses across zones 1 and 2. The guest profile is typically business travellers on extended stays, relocated professionals, and families who want more than a single hotel room for a week or more in London.

Unlike a single-address hotel, Cheval Collection bookings may be at any one of their London properties — each with its own access logistics, road approach, and nearest airport route. Imperial Ride works with guests across all Cheval locations: confirm which property you are staying at when booking and your driver will be briefed on the specific entrance, drop-off point, and approach route. This page covers transfer principles that apply across the collection; where a property has unique logistics, we note them at booking.

Arrival & Pick-Up at Cheval Collection Properties

01
Cheval Gloucester Park (Gloucester Road SW7)

Your chauffeur approaches via Cromwell Road or Gloucester Road and positions at Cheval Gloucester Park on Harrington Gardens or the direct Gloucester Road frontage. Your driver holds at the main entrance while the concierge manages luggage. A quiet residential road with no commercial traffic pressure.

02
Other Cheval Properties

Cheval Calico House (Blackfriars EC4), Cheval Phoenix Place (Bloomsbury WC1), and additional properties each have their own road approach. When you book, confirm the full postcode of your specific property and your driver receives a briefed waypoint — not just the postcode, but the entrance location.

Airport arrivals

For arrivals at Heathrow, your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board. Journey times vary by property — Gloucester Park is 40–55 minutes from Heathrow; Calico House is 60–75 minutes. We calculate the correct timing at booking based on which Cheval property you are heading to.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm staying at a Cheval Collection property but I'm not sure which one — how do I book a transfer?
When booking, provide the full address or postcode of your specific Cheval property. The booking confirmation email from Cheval will include the property address. The main Kensington location is Cheval Gloucester Park, 225 Cromwell Road, SW5 0TW. Other properties include Calico House (1 Ludgate Square, EC4M 7NX) and Phoenix Place (1 Phoenix Place, WC1X 0DL). Once you confirm the property, we assign a driver briefed on that specific address, entrance point, and road approach.
I'm on a long stay at Cheval — can I set up a regular daily driver circuit?
Yes. Corporate account holders and long-stay guests can arrange a regular circuit with a preferred driver. We schedule standing bookings for early morning departures, end-of-day returns, and weekend transfers. The driver learns your preferences — preferred route, temperature, music, whether you take calls in the car — after the first two or three journeys. Regular booking accounts are available for stays of a week or more.
What vehicle suits a family staying at Cheval with significant luggage?
For a family of four with checked-bag quantities of luggage, we recommend a Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover Autobiography rather than a standard saloon — both offer substantially more boot capacity. The V-Class seats up to seven and fits large luggage alongside. If you are arriving from Heathrow with four bags and two carry-ons, specify this at booking and we will confirm the appropriate vehicle size. There is no additional charge for stating luggage quantities — only for upgrading to a larger vehicle class if required.
