Montcalm at The Brewery Chauffeur Service
Montcalm at The Brewery London City on Chiswell Street EC1Y 4SA occupies the site of the historic Whitbread Brewery — a 270-year-old brewery complex in the heart of the City's northern fringe, between Barbican, Moorgate, and Old Street. The hotel's position within the converted brewery building gives it a distinct architectural identity among City hotels: Victorian-era brick and ironwork, vaulted cellars, and the original brewery's street frontage on Chiswell Street. The address sits at the junction of the City EC1Y and Islington EC1 border — a short walk from the Barbican Centre and the Bloomberg/Goldman Sachs City office cluster.
Moorgate station is seven minutes on foot — Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Northern lines. Barbican station is five minutes. For airport transfers, London City Airport is the closest at 13 miles and 20–30 minutes east — an unusually fast airport connection for a City hotel. Heathrow is 20 miles west and 55–70 minutes via the A40. Imperial Ride handles all airport connections, Barbican and City business circuit bookings, and cross-London transfers from Montcalm at The Brewery.

Your chauffeur approaches via London Wall or Aldersgate Street northbound to Chiswell Street, or from Old Street southbound. Chiswell Street EC1Y runs west from Moorgate toward Aldersgate Street. Montcalm at The Brewery is at Chiswell Street EC1Y 4SA — the driver positions at the hotel entrance on Chiswell Street, identified by the original Whitbread Brewery signage and brick frontage. The street is wide enough for clean set-down.
We position on Chiswell Street outside the Brewery hotel entrance ten minutes before your confirmed time. Chiswell Street is a well-managed City road with good set-down access. We text when in place. For Heathrow, the fastest route from EC1Y takes Aldersgate Street northbound to join the A40 at Old Street or continues via London Wall and the A40 at Holborn — whichever approach is cleaner at your departure time.
