South Place Hotel Chauffeur Service

South Place Hotel occupies 3 South Place, EC2M 2AF — the first hotel opened by restaurant group D&D London, which launched the 80-room property in 2012 on the Moorgate and Shoreditch border of the City of London. The hotel's design — overseen by Conran and Partners — is arts-focused: commissioned works by British artists occupy the walls throughout, and the hotel's six restaurants and bars (including Angler on the rooftop and 3 South Place on the ground floor) have made it one of the City's most hospitality-forward addresses. The hotel's EC2M position sits at the boundary where the City's financial core meets the creative Shoreditch district.

South Place Hotel's City border position gives London City Airport unusually strong proximity — at 8 miles east via the A1211 and Lower Thames Street, LCY is typically 20–35 minutes from EC2M. For guests flying European business routes into LCY and staying at a City arts hotel, South Place eliminates the cross-London leg entirely. Your Imperial Ride chauffeur holds at 3 South Place at the hotel's entrance — a short City side street between Moorgate and Liverpool Street with straightforward access.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at South Place Hotel?
Your chauffeur holds at 3 South Place, EC2M 2AF — directly at the hotel's entrance on this short City street between Moorgate and Liverpool Street. South Place is a manageable City side street with clear stopping access. You receive a live location SMS when your driver is in position.
South Place is near both Liverpool Street and Moorgate — which approach does the driver use?
South Place is a short City street off Moorgate, running parallel to Finsbury Circus gardens. Our driver approaches from Moorgate and pulls to number 3 on the right-hand kerbside. For guests arriving by train to Liverpool Street (5 minutes' walk) and needing an onward transfer, our driver can position on South Place and send a GPS pin so you walk directly to the vehicle rather than navigating a busy station pick-up bay.
I have early morning City Airport flights — what is the transfer time from South Place?
London City Airport is the closest major airport to South Place Hotel — approximately 20 minutes by car in off-peak conditions via the A13. Before 7am, the journey is reliably 18 minutes. We recommend arriving at LCY 75 minutes before departure for domestic flights and 90 minutes for international. The Docklands Light Railway is an alternative for passengers travelling light, but for business travellers with luggage, the car transfer is straightforward and uncomplicated.
