London Day Trips by Private Driver
Spend the day outside London at your own pace. Your driver collects you at your hotel door, waits while you explore and brings you back when you are ready. Fixed price per car from £350: fuel, tolls and parking included.

Our three best day trips
1 Harry Potter Studio Tour — best for families
If you are travelling with children or teenagers, this one wins outright. The studio is indoors and heated, so British weather cannot spoil the day, and the drive from central London is short enough that nobody spends the morning in the car. The practical advantage is that your driver stays on site for the whole visit: you leave when you have finished, not when a timetable decides. See the full trip details.
2 Bicester Village — best for shopping
Bicester Village is the first stop for most visitors who come to Britain to shop, and going by private car changes the day completely: bags go straight into the boot instead of being carried around, and there is no departure time to watch. It also pairs neatly with Oxford, which is close by, if you want two stops in one day. There is more on where to shop in our guide to shopping in London.
3 The Cotswolds — best for a quiet day
For anyone who has already seen London and wants a different side of England, the Cotswolds is the answer: small honey-stone villages and narrow country lanes that only a car can reach. This is the one trip we would not recommend doing any other way, because the pleasure of it is stopping on impulse at whichever village takes your eye.
What you get with a private car
Your day, your schedule
Leave at the time you choose between 8am and 11am, and head back when you are done — no meeting point and nobody else’s schedule to follow.
Door-to-door
Your driver comes to your hotel entrance. No getting across town to a departure point before the trip has even started.
Priced per car, not per seat
The price is the same whether there are two of you or seven. The larger your group, the more the maths works in your favour.
Family privacy
The car is yours alone — child seats on request, and you can stop whenever you need to without apologising to anyone.
