Lexham Gardens Hotel Chauffeur Service

Lexham Gardens Hotel occupies a pair of Victorian garden-square townhouses on Lexham Gardens, one of Kensington's quiet residential streets running between the Earl's Court Road and Cromwell Road. Kensington W8 is one of London's most desirable residential addresses — Lexham Gardens itself is a typical long, garden-centred Kensington street of late-Victorian white-stucco terraces, connecting Earl's Court Road at the west to Marloes Road at the east. The hotel offers a quieter, residential alternative to the larger Kensington hotel corridor on Cromwell Road.

The Cromwell Road/A4 — London's most direct Heathrow approach — runs parallel to Lexham Gardens just one block to the south. From the hotel, Heathrow Terminal 5 is 12 miles west and consistently 35–45 minutes. Kensington High Street and the London museums are ten minutes north. Earl's Court Exhibition Centre is eight minutes west. Imperial Ride handles all airport connections, museum district transfers, and West End circuit bookings from Lexham Gardens Hotel.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at Lexham Gardens Hotel?

Your driver positions on Lexham Gardens directly outside the hotel. Lexham Gardens is a one-way residential street — your driver approaches from the Earl's Court Road (western) end. The hotel entrance is on the north side of the street. We text you when in place. The street is quiet with no bus routes or loading restrictions — your driver holds comfortably at the entrance until you are ready.

How far is Lexham Gardens from Heathrow — is it one of the closer hotels?

Yes. At 12 miles, Lexham Gardens W8 is among the closest central London hotel addresses to Heathrow. The Cromwell Road/A4 — the direct Heathrow approach — runs one block south of the hotel on the parallel road. In off-peak conditions (before 7am, after 7pm), the journey to Terminal 5 takes 30–35 minutes. During the morning A4 peak (7:30am–9am), allow 50–55 minutes. The Piccadilly Line from Earl's Court to Heathrow is 40–50 minutes but requires managing luggage on the tube — a chauffeur is the better option for most guests with bags.

Is Lexham Gardens inside the Congestion Charge Zone?

No. Lexham Gardens W8 is outside the Congestion Charge Zone. The CCZ boundary in this area runs approximately along the Cromwell Road to the south and Kensington Road to the north — Lexham Gardens sits within these boundaries but is actually not within the Zone. Journeys heading east towards Knightsbridge and into the West End will enter the Zone at the Hyde Park Corner/Knightsbridge boundary. Journeys heading west to Heathrow will not enter the Zone at all. We confirm the CCZ status for your specific route at booking.
