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.

Arrival & Pick-Up at South Place Hotel
Your chauffeur holds at 3 South Place, EC2M 2AF — directly at the hotel's entrance on this short City street off Moorgate. South Place is a manageable City side street with clear stopping access. You receive a live location SMS when your driver is in position at the hotel front.
The Bank of England and Bank station are 12 minutes west, Liverpool Street station is eight minutes east, and Broadgate Circle — the City's premier commercial and dining destination — is five minutes east. For guests with a multi-building meeting schedule across the EC2M and EC2Y zones, we hold between appointments and position for departure before each meeting ends.
Shoreditch High Street — with Boundary, Dishoom, and the Ace Hotel — is 10 minutes north on foot. For guests moving between the City and the tech and creative industries in Shoreditch and Old Street's silicon roundabout, South Place is the most practical dual-district base.
