5 Popular Wedding Car Hire London Routes

Our company has been in the wedding car business for well over a decade now, and we have had countless chauffeuring experiences throughout London. As a result, our chauffeurs know all the best routes on which to take wedding couples that show off all the best sights and allow them to experience a quiet, intimate moment together. Some of these routes include:

Route 1: The Hyde Park Route

Hyde Park is one of London’s most popular and well-known green spaces, so a drive past this scenic parkland would be a fabulous choice for your first drive together as a couple. The route begins at the iconic Hyde Park Corner, before looping around the entire park, passing such famous landmarks as Kensington Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and the Marble Arch, not to mention the lush greenery and glittering lakes within the park itself. If you’re looking to blend beautiful scenery with a metropolitan backdrop, then this route is the one for you. 

Route 2: The St. James’s Park Route

For the sightseers among you, the St. James’s Park Route is the perfect way to catch a glimpse of some of London’s most famous landmarks in the span of one drive. Beginning near the National COVID Memorial Wall, this route takes you across the River Thames by driving over the incredible Westminster Bridge, from which you can see the towering heights of the iconic London Eye. From there, you’ll pass Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Marlborough House Gardens and, as the name implies, the stunning greenery of St. James’s Park. And if that wasn’t enough, the whole route can be driven in under 25 minutes. 

Route 3: The Camden Town Route

For a more city-based drive on your wedding day, we suggest taking a drive through the packed streets of Camden Town. Beginning at the entrance to Warren Street, your chauffeur will drive you through the busy Camden streets, passing commuters and shoppers alike as you bask in the bustling atmosphere that is distinct to London. Furthermore, as an added bonus for any Harry Potter fans, the end of the route passes King’s Cross Station, the location of the iconic Platform 9 ¾. Truly a magical wedding route if ever there was one. 

Route 4: The Thames Valley Route

As the longest river in all England, the Thames is without a doubt one of the most iconic parts of London, and a journey along its beautiful banks certainly wouldn’t go amiss after you’ve left the wedding venue. This fantastic route takes you down the length of the river, allowing you to drink in the sight of its glittering water and the many boats & ferries that are chugging along throughout the day. If you end up booking the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the view is made even better thanks to its panoramic windows and elevated seating position. 

Route 5: The Scenic Surrey Hills Route

Just south of London lie the rolling Surrey Hills, an expansive countryside which covers around a quarter of the county. This provides a beautifully scenic route for you to take after the ceremony, exchanging the loudness and congestion of the central city for quaint forests and lush fields. Additionally, this route takes you past several brilliant points of interest, such as the towering Box Hill summit and the historic Leith Hall Tower. If you’d like a romantic getaway from the busy city, this scenic route is exactly what you’ll need.
