The Knightsbridge Hotel Chauffeur Service
The Knightsbridge Hotel at 10 Beaufort Gardens is a Firmdale Hotels property — the smallest in the collection, with 44 rooms in a quiet residential cul-de-sac just off Brompton Road. Beaufort Gardens is a short, one-end-only street that opens from Brompton Road between Harrods and the Natural History Museum end of Exhibition Road — one of the most geographically precise Knightsbridge addresses available, without the street traffic of the hotels directly on Brompton Road or Sloane Street. The hotel's Kit Kemp interiors define its character: colourful, contemporary, layered with British textile and artwork references.
The Beaufort Gardens location means Harrods is a three-minute walk east and Harvey Nichols is five minutes north on Sloane Street. For airport transfers, the Cromwell Road/A4 is immediately accessible westbound from Brompton Road — Heathrow is 12 miles away and consistently 40–50 minutes from this address. Imperial Ride covers all airport connections, Knightsbridge shopping circuits, and West End evening returns from The Knightsbridge Hotel.

Arrival & Pick-Up at The Knightsbridge Hotel
Your chauffeur approaches via Brompton Road and turns south into Beaufort Gardens — a short cul-de-sac that extends from Brompton Road between the Harrods Food Hall end and Beaufort Street. The Knightsbridge Hotel is at number 10, on the right as you enter the street. Your driver pulls to the entrance without time pressure — Beaufort Gardens is a quiet residential court with no through traffic and no bus routes.
We position on Beaufort Gardens ten minutes before your confirmed time. The street's dead-end layout means there is no through traffic and no kerbside pressure — your driver holds quietly at the entrance until you are ready. We text you when in place. For Heathrow departures, the quickest exit from Beaufort Gardens is north onto Brompton Road, then west through South Kensington and onto the A4 Cromwell Road.
From Heathrow (12 miles west), the A4/Cromwell Road approach via Beaufort Gardens takes 40–50 minutes — among the shortest Heathrow transfer times from any central London hotel. From Gatwick (28 miles south), allow 55–70 minutes. From London City (13 miles east), allow 40–55 minutes via the Embankment. Your chauffeur meets at arrivals with a name board.
