Ilford sits on the Elizabeth line, so central London is a short ride away. That makes it easy to see where a chauffeur beats the train: late nights, awkward luggage, flights at unsociable hours and any trip involving more than three or four people.
Evenings out without planning the way home
Dinners, theatre nights and celebrations in town are far easier when the journey home is already arranged. Book a car for the evening, tell your driver where you will be, and the return is taken care of. For a longer evening with several stops, see our hourly chauffeur hire.
Proms and leavers' events across Redbridge
Redbridge has a large number of secondary schools and sixth forms, and prom season is one of the busiest times of year for us here. Students book a Rolls-Royce or a Lamborghini Urus for the arrival, or a minibus so that a whole friendship group travels together. Our prom car hire page has the details, and any venue is fine.
- A single car for the prom arrival
- A minibus so a whole friendship group travels together
- A chauffeur for parents who are dropping off and collecting
- A return journey agreed in advance
Visitors, shopping and rail connections
Ilford High Road and The Exchange shopping centre draw visitors from across east London, and Ilford station is on the Elizabeth line. If you are meeting guests who are arriving by air or by train with a lot of luggage, we can collect them and bring them straight to the door.
Airport transfers from the IG postcodes
Ilford, Gants Hill, Newbury Park, Barkingside, Seven Kings and Goodmayes are all covered for transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend. On arrival we track the flight and meet you inside the terminal with a name board.
Roads in and out of Ilford
The A12 Eastern Avenue and the A406 North Circular both run through the borough, which gives quick access to the M11, the M25 and central London.
Planning a prom from Ilford
A prom runs to a timetable that is easy to get wrong, so agree it early. The details to settle are:
- The date, the venue and the time you need to arrive
- How many students are travelling in the car or minibus
- Whether you want a photo stop on the way
- The pick-up time for the end of the evening
Prom dates are popular and the Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini Urus can only be in one place at a time, so check availability as early as you can. Parents are welcome to book and to ask questions on a student's behalf.
When to take the train and when to book a chauffeur
The Elizabeth line is quick for a solo trip into town. A chauffeur is a better fit when you are travelling with a group, with cases, in formal clothes, or at an hour when you would rather not wait on a platform. If you are unsure which suits a particular journey, ask us.
