Cheval Three Quays Chauffeur Service

Cheval Three Quays at Lower Thames Street occupies a modern apartment block on the north bank of the Thames directly opposite the Tower of London — the view from the upper floors takes in Tower Bridge, the Shard, and the curve of the river east toward Canary Wharf. The serviced apartments here attract a combination of City professionals who want a Thames-side base within walking distance of their office and leisure guests who want a dramatic central London location with more space than a hotel room provides.

Lower Thames Street is part of the City's southern edge road — a continuous route from Tower Bridge west to Blackfriars Bridge used by commuter traffic and by vehicles accessing the river frontage. The building has its own entrance road off Lower Thames Street. Tower of London is a three-minute walk east. London City Airport is seven miles east via the A1203 — the closest airport to this address. Imperial Ride handles all City meeting circuits, airport transfers, and Tower Hill sightseeing collections from this location.

Logistics

Arrival & Pick-Up at Cheval Three Quays

01
Drop-off

Your chauffeur approaches via Lower Thames Street from the west (from the City or Blackfriars direction) and positions at the Cheval Three Quays entrance, EC3R 6DT. The building has a dedicated entrance approach off the main road. Lower Thames Street is a busy main road — your driver times the approach and kerbside stop to minimise waiting on the carriageway.

02
Pick-up

We position at the building entrance ten minutes before your confirmed time. For morning peak departures (7:30am–9am), Lower Thames Street carries significant City-bound traffic — your driver approaches from the east (from Tower Bridge direction) to avoid the westbound commuter flow. You will receive an SMS when your driver is at the entrance.

03
Airport arrivals

London City Airport (7 miles east) is the closest airport to Three Quays — via the A1203 Westferry Road, typically 20–30 minutes. Your chauffeur meets at arrivals with a name board. For Heathrow (20 miles west), the journey runs via the Embankment and A4 — allow 60–75 minutes.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at Cheval Three Quays?
Your driver positions at the building entrance on Lower Thames Street, EC3R 6DT. Lower Thames Street is a busy main road, so your driver approaches from the east (Tower Bridge direction) and pulls to the building's access point for a clean kerbside stop. We position ten minutes before your confirmed time and text when in place. For morning peak departures, your driver arrives 15 minutes early to account for the eastbound approach through City traffic.
Is Lower Thames Street inside the Congestion Charge Zone?
Yes — Lower Thames Street EC3R is within the Congestion Charge Zone. Journeys that enter or pass through the Zone on the way to or from this address will incur the charge (currently £15, operating Monday–Friday 7am–6pm and Saturday–Sunday 12pm–6pm). We include the charge in your quote automatically when the route crosses the Zone boundary. Journeys eastbound to London City Airport, Canary Wharf, and Docklands are at or outside the Zone eastern boundary — confirm the route at booking and we will advise.
How early should I leave for London City Airport from Three Quays?
London City Airport is seven miles east via the A1203. Before 7am, the journey takes 18–22 minutes. Between 7am and 9am, allow 28–35 minutes for the Westferry Road commuter traffic. We recommend departing 75 minutes before your check-in closes — LCY's compact terminal means 45 minutes at the airport is generally sufficient, leaving a 30-minute buffer for delays. Your driver tracks your flight status from booking and adjusts the pick-up time if your departure is rescheduled overnight.
