Common Questions

Big Ben Chauffeur FAQs

Where's the best drop-off point for photos of Big Ben, and are there parking restrictions nearby?

Bridge Street and the northern end of Westminster Bridge sit on a red route with no stopping, so we drop off on Parliament Street or the south side of Westminster Bridge Road — a two-minute walk to Elizabeth Tower and the classic photo angle from the bridge itself. Let us know if photography is the main goal and we'll time the drop-off for the golden-hour light.

Can my chauffeur wait while I tour the Houses of Parliament or watch Prime Minister's Questions?

Yes — book an hourly or half-day hire and your car can hold nearby rather than circling. Parliament Square itself is closed to standing traffic, so your chauffeur will wait on a side street off Great George Street or Millbank and come back the moment security clears you out, which typically takes 45–90 minutes for a standard tour.

Is there a best time of day to visit, and does it change when you'll pick me up?

Big Ben is illuminated from dusk, which makes early evening the busiest and most photogenic slot — expect us to build in extra time for Westminster traffic around Wednesday Prime Minister's Questions (12–1pm) and evening rush hour. Early morning, before 9am, is the quietest window if you'd rather avoid both crowds and congestion.
