Paris — London: your questions
Paris → London by private chauffeur: the journey no Eurostar offers
The only way to connect Paris to London door-to-door, without changes, with your luggage, your family and your staff. The Eurostar drops you at St Pancras International: we drop you in front of your hotel in Mayfair, your house in Knightsbridge, or your office in Canary Wharf.
The Paris-London transfer in a Mercedes S-Class with a private chauffeur remains one of the great classics of high-end European mobility. Since Brexit and the introduction of the UK ETA in April 2025, travellers value seamlessness more than ever: no airport check-in, no luggage limit, no taxi transfer at St Pancras International. Our chauffeur collects you at your Paris address (palace hotel, private residence, office, Le Bourget FBO) and drops you at your London address, in approximately 5h30 to 6h depending on traffic.
