Haymarket Hotel & Covent Garden Hotel Chauffeur Service

The Haymarket Hotel and Covent Garden Hotel are two of Firmdale Hotels' flagship London properties — both designed by Kit Kemp with the distinctive Firmdale combination of bold colour, contemporary British art, and neighbourhood-specific character. The Haymarket Hotel at 1 Suffolk Place, SW1Y 4HX sits between Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, on a quiet court just off the Haymarket theatre strip. The Covent Garden Hotel at 10 Monmouth Street, WC2H 9HB is in the Seven Dials neighbourhood — at the convergence of Covent Garden, Soho, and the London theatre district.

Both properties attract a mix of creative industry guests, theatre-world visitors, international leisure travellers, and guests attending West End events. The Haymarket Hotel's Suffolk Place address is steps from Her Majesty's Theatre and the Haymarket theatres; the Covent Garden Hotel on Monmouth Street is a short walk from the Royal Opera House and the heart of Covent Garden. Imperial Ride covers airport transfers, late-night theatre returns, and West End circuit transfers from both properties.

Logistics

Arrival & Pick-Up at Both Firmdale Hotels

01
Haymarket Hotel — 1 Suffolk Place SW1Y

Your chauffeur approaches via Haymarket or Pall Mall East and turns into Suffolk Place — a short pedestrianised court that opens from the east side of Haymarket between Charles II Street and Orange Street. The court is accessible to vehicles for set-down and collection. Your driver positions at the Suffolk Place entrance, steps from the Haymarket Hotel's front door. Positioning is straightforward outside of peak Haymarket theatre hours.

02
Covent Garden Hotel — 10 Monmouth Street WC2H

Monmouth Street is a narrow one-way street in Seven Dials running south to Shaftesbury Avenue. Your chauffeur approaches from Long Acre and positions on Monmouth Street outside the hotel at number 10. The street can be busy during daytime but is manageable in the evenings. For late-night collection after Covent Garden performances, your driver monitors the theatre schedule and positions ahead of curtain-down time.

03
Airport arrivals

From Heathrow (14 miles west), allow 45–60 minutes to either property. Your chauffeur meets at arrivals with a name board and brings luggage to the vehicle. From Gatwick (28 miles south), allow 60–75 minutes. From London City (12 miles east), allow 40–55 minutes via the Embankment. Confirm which Firmdale property at booking — Haymarket or Covent Garden — so your driver is at the correct address.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at the Haymarket Hotel?
Your driver positions on Suffolk Place — the short courtyard running off the east side of Haymarket — directly outside the Haymarket Hotel at 1 Suffolk Place, SW1Y 4HX. Suffolk Place is accessed from Haymarket between Charles II Street and Orange Street. Your driver texts you when in place and assists with luggage from the entrance. For arrivals from Heathrow post-flight, your driver meets you at the terminal arrivals hall with a name board and guides you to the vehicle.
Where does my chauffeur wait at the Covent Garden Hotel?
Your driver positions on Monmouth Street outside the Covent Garden Hotel at 10 Monmouth Street, WC2H 9HB. Monmouth Street is a one-way street approached from Long Acre in the north — your driver approaches from Long Acre and holds southbound outside number 10. The street can be busy in the early evening when Covent Garden's restaurants and the Royal Opera House fill up; your driver arrives ahead of the busy period and texts when in position.
Can you arrange late-night collection after a West End show?
Yes. Late-night post-show collection is a regular booking at both properties. Your driver monitors the show's end time (usually 10pm–10:30pm for most West End productions), positions at the agreed venue exit point before curtain down, and texts when in place. For the Haymarket theatres, we position on Suffolk Place rather than Haymarket itself to avoid post-show bus and pedestrian congestion. For the Royal Opera House, we position on Bow Street or Floral Street depending on your agreed exit.
