Our service in St James's
St James's is small and formal. St James's Street runs south from Piccadilly to St James's Palace, home to White's, Boodle's, Brooks's and the Carlton Club. Christie's has held sales on King Street since 1823, Fortnum & Mason trades on Piccadilly with a second entrance on Jermyn Street, and Spencer House looks over Green Park from St James's Place. People book cars here for club lunches, auction viewings and evenings out, and they want a chauffeur who is ready at the door and never in the way.
The Mall and Constitution Hill close to traffic on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, so weekend journeys towards Buckingham Palace or Victoria go round by Piccadilly or Pall Mall instead. The Mall also closes for state occasions and for the London Marathon finish each April. Green Park is the nearest Underground station. For Heathrow, Gatwick or London City, we keep watch on your flight, meet you in arrivals with a name board, and leave the first 60 minutes after landing free of charge, airport parking included.
Afternoon tea at The Ritz means a jacket and tie for men in the Palm Court, so we time the pickup around your sitting. Martinis at Dukes Bar, wine dinners in the 400-year-old cellar at The Stafford and viewings at Christie's fill the rest of the week, and the car is waiting when you leave. Shoppers book by the hour for the shops of Jermyn Street and Piccadilly, with bags kept in the boot between stops. Every chauffeur is our own and TfL-licensed, and we work 24 hours a day.

TCS London Marathon finishLate April
The Mall
The race finishes on The Mall, and The Mall and roads around St James's Park have closed for several days around race weekend in recent years.
On the road
- The Mall and Constitution Hill are closed to traffic on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, so weekend runs to Victoria or Belgravia go via Piccadilly or Pall Mall.
- Spencer House, The Stafford and Dukes all share St James's Place, off St James's Street, so on busy evenings we agree the waiting point with you before you go in.
Questions about St James's
Is The Mall open to cars at the weekend?
No. The Mall and Constitution Hill are closed to traffic on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, so we plan weekend routes through St James's via Piccadilly or Pall Mall.
What should I wear for afternoon tea at The Ritz?
The Ritz asks men to wear a jacket and tie for afternoon tea in the Palm Court, and jeans and sportswear are not allowed for anyone. We collect at the hotel when your sitting ends.
Which door do I use at Christie's on King Street?
Christie's address is 8 King Street, with street-level entry at 4-7 King Street. Weekday hours are standard, and weekend viewing hours change with each sale, so check before you book the car.
Can you collect me from Dukes Bar while the hotel is closed?
Yes. The Dukes London hotel is temporarily closed for works, but Dukes Bar on St James's Place is open from 3pm. Your chauffeur waits nearby and texts when the car is outside.
Does London Marathon weekend affect St James's?
Yes. The race finishes on The Mall in late April, and The Mall and roads around St James's Park close for several days. We route around the closures and confirm pickup points in advance.
