The National Gallery
London
Jacob Miles provides private chauffeur transfers to and from the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square. Our chauffeurs are experienced with central London traffic and will plan your route to avoid the worst of the congestion around Trafalgar Square and the Strand, collecting you from your home, hotel or office and delivering you close to the gallery.
Arriving at the National Gallery
The National Gallery faces Trafalgar Square in the very centre of London, at the top of Whitehall and the foot of the Charing Cross Road. The square is busy with tourists and traffic throughout the day, and there is no public parking at the gallery. A chauffeur-driven arrival lets you step out close to the gallery without crossing the crowded square or using the Tube. The final collection point will depend on the area's traffic and access arrangements and will be confirmed with the passenger before travel.
Traffic and Timing
Trafalgar Square is one of the busiest parts of central London, with heavy traffic on the Strand, Whitehall and the Mall throughout the day and peaks around the evening rush. We recommend booking your journey to arrive before the busiest periods and agreeing your collection time in advance, particularly for special exhibitions that draw large queues.
Nearby Areas and Hotels
The gallery is in Trafalgar Square, close to Covent Garden, Soho and the Strand. Hotels we serve that are convenient for a visit to the National Gallery include The Savoy on the Strand and The Ritz London on Piccadilly, both a short walk or drive away. We can collect you from your hotel and return you there after your visit.
Airport and Station Connections
Heathrow and Gatwick are the principal airports for visitors heading to Trafalgar Square, while Waterloo and Charing Cross are the nearest mainline stations for connections into the West End. We can combine an airport or station transfer with your onward journey to the gallery, with flight and arrival-time monitoring built into the booking.
Recommended Vehicles
Visitors to the National Gallery often leave with catalogues and purchases from the shop. The Mercedes E-Class or S-Class is a discreet choice for individuals and couples, while the Mercedes V-Class gives families and small groups room for bags. Share your party size when booking.
