Cheval Gloucester Park Chauffeur Service

Cheval Gloucester Park at 225 Cromwell Road is one of the Cheval Collection's principal London properties — a building of serviced apartments occupying a Victorian terrace on the north side of Cromwell Road, a short walk from Gloucester Road underground station. The apartments range from studios to three-bedroom suites, making the property a consistent choice for families relocating to London, fashion and creative professionals on extended stays, and corporate travellers who prefer the space and self-contained character of an apartment over a hotel room.

Cromwell Road is the main westbound arterial route from central London toward Heathrow — the A4 continues directly from the junction at Earls Court. For guests with early morning Heathrow departures, Cheval Gloucester Park's Cromwell Road position is one of the most convenient in London: the airport is 13 miles in a straight westbound line. The Natural History Museum and V&A are eight minutes east. Imperial Ride handles all airport transfers, Kensington and Knightsbridge circuits, and City corporate runs from this address.

Logistics

Arrival & Pick-Up at Cheval Gloucester Park

Drop-off

Your chauffeur travels westbound on Cromwell Road and positions at 225 Cromwell Road, SW5 0TW. Cromwell Road is a wide, dual-carriageway arterial road — there is no dedicated forecourt, so your driver times the approach to the kerbside stop outside the building entrance. For eastbound arrivals (from Heathrow), the driver takes the Earls Court turn and approaches via Warwick Road.

Pick-up from Cromwell Road

Cromwell Road is a high-traffic main road — your driver positions precisely outside the building and texts when in place. We recommend 10 minutes' buffer for positioning on a busy morning. For peak-hour pick-ups (7:30am–9am) heading east, your driver will advise if the Cromwell Road corridor is slow and suggest alternatives via the Embankment.

Airport arrivals

Heathrow is 13 miles due west via the A4 — the most direct airport approach of any Kensington address. From Terminal 5, the journey takes 35–50 minutes before morning peak. Your chauffeur meets at arrivals with a name board. From Gatwick (27 miles south), allow 55–70 minutes via the A23 and Clapham approach.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at Cheval Gloucester Park?

Your driver positions on Cromwell Road directly outside 225 Cromwell Road, SW5 0TW. Cromwell Road is a main arterial road so there is no forecourt — your driver holds at the kerbside and texts when in position. For eastbound journeys (toward central London or London City Airport), your driver is at the east side of the building. For westbound Heathrow departures, your driver is positioned for immediate westbound exit. We text when in place 10 minutes before your time.

Is Cromwell Road one-way and which direction does my driver approach from?

Cromwell Road is a dual carriageway running two-way east-west between South Kensington and Earls Court. Your driver can approach from either direction. For arrivals from Heathrow, the driver enters Cromwell Road westbound from the M4/A4 and positions outside number 225. For arrivals from central London (Heathrow meet-and-greet in reverse), the driver heads west on Cromwell Road from the Brompton Road junction. Either direction gives a clean kerbside pull-in.

What is the best departure time for an early morning Heathrow flight from here?

From 225 Cromwell Road to Heathrow Terminal 5 is 13 miles via the A4 — under 35 minutes before 6am. For a 7am check-in close (typically for 8am–9am flights), we recommend a 5:30am departure, leaving a 90-minute buffer. For flights before 7am, a 4:30am–5am departure is safer. Your driver monitors your flight status and contacts you if a departure rescheduling means we need to adjust pick-up time. All flights are tracked from the time of booking.
