London Eurostar Transfer

Looking for a car service to take us from St Pancras Eurostar to,our hotel in Knightsbridge. I am sure the tube is way more economical but looking for convenience. Thanks!

Just catch a cab -- very easy. Easier to locate the taxi rank than for a driver to locate you.

But Addison Lee https://www.addisonlee.com is a good car service (I'd take a taxi if I didn't want to tale the tube for some reason)

Black cabs are the way to go. Walk to taxi que and grab one.

When you come out of the Eurostar, turn right, rather than left to the Underground. That takes you up to the cross-concourse which leads out to the taxi rank on Midland Road:

Addison Lee is pricey (about 40% more than Just Airports from Knightsbridge to Heathrow).

It cost us about 25 quid or so to get from that same taxi rank to a flat in Knightsbridge, and the traffic sucked. Not thinking you'll do better with Addison Lee.

To clarify - I was necessarily recommending Addison Lee - I'd take a taxi. Justairports would no doubt be cheaper but booking would probably require a phone call since it isn't an airport transfer.

A taxi (or the tube if they don't have a boat load of luggage) would be better.

Interesting BigRuss. Addison Lee is only a few quid more than Just Airports from Heathrow to Greenwich. And better service from my experience.

But for this I would just jump in a taxi.

Sheeyoot - our guy was 20 minutes early for our airport transfer and just hanging out waiting patiently while the boss and I cleared the flat. No complaints here.

oops -- huge typo . . . Meant to post I WASN'T necessarily recommending them



For the record I've used Addison Lee (I think) twice and justairports probably 2-25 times - have not had a problem with either.

No complaints about the drivers...it's the booking process that irritated me. I found their response time went down hill and they hiked the price on one of reservations because they realised later it was a bank holiday.
