Chauffeur service in Hatch End — summary

Two kinds of booking come out of Hatch End. The first is a flight: a car to RAF Northolt on an indicative 15-35 minutes, roughly 6 miles, timed backwards from when check-in closes rather than forwards from a Hatch End postcode. The second is a day with too many fixed points to book as separate journeys, where the chauffeur holds the car near Uxbridge Road parade and moves when you do. Both are quoted per vehicle, in writing, before a car is allocated to Hatch End. Coverage runs on to Pinner and Wealdstone, and RAF Northolt, Luton, Heathrow and London City are all driven from here. No standing price list is published, and nothing on a Hatch End booking is metered.

01Starting in Hatch End

Chauffeur service in Hatch End

The Uxbridge Road is the spine and it carries everything, including a good deal of traffic moving between Harrow and Watford. The parade by the station is narrow with angled parking, and the roads behind it are wide, tree-lined and residential. Old Redding and the Grim’s Dyke side lie further up, where the district runs out into open ground.

Harrow Arts Centre sits on the Uxbridge Road and generates evening work through its programme, which is the one thing here that regularly needs a proper collection plan. The rest is airport and station transfers, with Luton at thirty to fifty-five minutes and the M1 reachable inside a quarter of an hour on a decent run.

03The area

Pinner Wood and the streets that reach it

The bits of Hatch End that matter when you are the one parking.

Two lanes, a bus route and a shop parade with angled bays, which means traffic here stops without warning while somebody reverses out. Beyond the parade the avenues are generous, with drives and verges. The Uxbridge Road climbs steadily north-west and the junctions at either end of the village are the slow points. Headstone Lane to the south crosses the railway on a bridge that narrows.

04Demand

What gets asked for around Pinner Wood

Demand across Greater London is not evenly spread. This is where it clusters in Hatch End.

Largely residential, with a strong airport pattern and a good many long-distance journeys north and west. Harrow Arts Centre brings evening bookings, often for groups. The Grim’s Dyke hotel at Old Redding generates wedding and event work through the season. School transport is steady in term time, and there is a regular flow to the hospitals at Northwick Park and Mount Vernon.

05Road time

The Hatch End clock

Traffic in Hatch End is predictable if you know the hour. This is the hour Rowlands Avenue turns on.

The Uxbridge Road is busy from 07:45 to 09:15 and 16:00 to 18:30, and the parade slows at any hour when a delivery van arrives. School traffic on Headstone Lane is brief. Nothing here is a serious obstacle. The value of Hatch End for flights is that the M1 and the A41 are both close, so early departures northwards are quick and reliable.

06The kerb

Kerb space in Hatch End

Why the collection point in Hatch End is agreed before the day rather than on it.

Most addresses have drives and the chauffeur will use them. On the parade the angled bays carry short waiting limits, which serve for a quick collection but not for a wait. Harrow Arts Centre has its own car park and we hold there for evening performances rather than on the road. The station approach is small, with room for one or two vehicles, and it fills on weekday evenings.

Collection notes for Hatch End

  • 01For evening performances the chauffeur waits in the Harrow Arts Centre car park rather than on the Uxbridge Road.
  • 02The angled bays on the parade allow a short stop only; anything longer moves to a residential turning behind.
  • 03The station approach holds one or two cars and fills on weekday evenings, so we time the arrival to your train.
  • 04Old Redding and the roads towards the common are unlit in places, which matters for a late collection at a private address.

07Included as standard

Included whether you book from Hatch End or Pinner

  • 01

    Cases to the trolley at RAF Northolt

    The chauffeur loads and unloads on every Hatch End booking. On a collection from Old Redding viewpoint that means the cases are in the boot before you have finished saying goodbye at the door.

  • 02

    A delay at RAF Northolt is our problem

    Airlines republish a schedule; from Hatch End we watch the aeroplane instead. The two diverge often enough that a car leaving Hatch End on the printed time would spend half its life waiting at RAF Northolt and the other half arriving late.

  • 03

    Landing back into Hatch End

    Collections from RAF Northolt back to Hatch End are met inside the building. Trolley to the boot, boot to Rowlands Avenue, and you are in Hatch End without having negotiated a short-stay car park with three suitcases.

  • 04

    Briefed on your Hatch End collection

    Someone who has driven Uxbridge Road (A404), Headstone Lane and Grimsdyke Road in the rain at rush hour, rather than an app deciding a stranger is four minutes away. The chauffeur is briefed on your journey before the car leaves for Hatch End.

  • 05

    A price that ignores Rowlands Avenue

    One price, in writing, before the car is allocated to your Hatch End collection. If the journey from Hatch End to RAF Northolt changes we requote in writing rather than adjusting an invoice afterwards.

  • 06

    Changing the plan halfway across Hatch End

    Waiting is included at RAF Northolt from the moment the aircraft lands, at no cost to the Hatch End price. Elsewhere it is quoted by the hour, so a ninety-minute dinner near Hatch End station does not turn into an argument.

08Terminals

Indicative drives from Hatch End to each terminal

Where an area is large the two ends of it can differ by twenty minutes, and Hatch End is no exception. These are worked from Hatch End itself. If your address sits in the HA5 district rather than the far edge, the figure shifts a little and the quotation says by how much.

What the chauffeur does before you land at RAF Northolt

LF-01What the chauffeur does before you land at RAF Northolt

What the chauffeur does before you land at RAF Northolt

The alternative to being met is a phone call from a RAF Northolt car park, a walk with a trolley, a lift you cannot find, and Hatch End still an hour away. We do the other thing: a person inside the terminal holding a board, who then carries the bags to the car and drives you to Hatch End.

The cabin is warm before you reach it at RAF Northolt and quiet for the whole run into Hatch End. If you want to sleep for the 15-35 minutes back to Hatch End, that is the expected use of the back seat rather than an imposition on anybody.

  • No telephone call from an RAF Northolt car park before the run to Hatch End
  • Terminal checked against your flight number before you fly home to Hatch End
  • The same chauffeur who drove you out of Hatch End
  • Board held at RAF Northolt until you are standing in front of it, Hatch End bound
The first mile out of Hatch End

LF-02The first mile out of Hatch End

The first mile out of Hatch End

A collection in Hatch End starts with the chauffeur finding the stopping point rather than the address. On Rowlands Avenue that can mean the loading bay fifty yards down, or the side street behind Hatch End station, and the message you get names the spot in plain English.

Everything after the Hatch End door closes is designed to be uneventful. The chauffeur takes Rowlands Avenue if it is moving and the back way past Hatch End station if it is not, and either way the arrival time you were given is the one we are driving to.

  • Gated entrances and courtyards in Hatch End checked in advance
  • A second collection in Pinner priced into the same booking
  • Engine off and boot open before you reach the car in Hatch End
  • Indicative 15-35 minutes from Hatch End to RAF Northolt, given once and then left alone

Getting out of Hatch End cleanly depends on Rowlands Avenue. On a good morning the car is past Rowlands Avenue in minutes; on a bad one it is the whole problem, and the chauffeur will have chosen the alternative before you get in.

The car stops at the RAF Northolt terminal your airline actually uses, not the one nearest Rowlands Avenue. Cases out, trolley found, and the chauffeur stays until you have everything before turning back towards Hatch End.

We treat a train into Carpenders Park the way we treat a flight. Twenty minutes lost somewhere before Carpenders Park moves the chauffeur's start time in Hatch End and changes nothing else about your booking.

Rail travellers into Carpenders Park usually have less luggage and less patience. Both make the last mile out of Carpenders Park a short, unremarkable drive rather than an operation, which is how it ought to read.

Days that begin in Hatch End and end at RAF Northolt are common enough to count as a category. The car does the Hatch End meetings, then does the airport run, and it stays one booking with one figure.

Papers, coats and shopping stay in the cabin between Hatch End stops. That sounds minor until you have carried a laptop bag round Hatch End station for six hours because the car was parked somewhere else.

17Answers

Hatch End chauffeur questions

Answers about Hatch End, not general ones. If yours is missing, ask about your own address on Rowlands Avenue.

Do you collect after a performance at Harrow Arts Centre?

Yes, and the car waits in the centre’s own car park rather than on the Uxbridge Road, which has nowhere useful to stop. For a group we agree where on the site the chauffeur will be standing before the performance starts.

Can you cover a wedding at Grim’s Dyke?

Yes. It sits up at Old Redding with a proper drive and turning space, so cars can be timed to arrive in sequence. The approach lanes are unlit in stretches, which is worth allowing for when guests are leaving late.

Is there room to wait at Hatch End station?

For one or two cars, and on a weekday evening even that fills. We time the chauffeur’s arrival to your train rather than having him sit there, and if the train is late he holds on a nearby residential road instead.

How long does Hatch End to Luton take?

Thirty to fifty-five minutes for about twenty-one miles, out to the A41 or the M1 and north. It is one of the shorter Luton runs in our coverage, and it stays reliable because the route never turns towards London.
