Four days in London is the right length to see the city properly and still spend a day or two in the countryside. Tripyana’s 4-day programme is a private Mercedes and one chauffeur for up to eight hours a day from your hotel: Westminster and the Tower, plus the Cotswolds and Bath, or Oxford and Windsor. From £1,480 for the car, paid once for all four days.

Planning the length

Is 4 days in London enough?

Yes, for most first visits. Four days covers the landmarks without a rush and leaves room for one or two trips beyond the city.

Two city days do the essentials

One day for Westminster and the royal sights, one for the Tower, St Paul’s and the Thames. That is the core of every first trip to London.

Two days for what lies beyond

Honey-coloured Cotswolds villages, Roman Bath, Oxford’s colleges or Windsor Castle. Each is a comfortable day out with the car waiting.

Or keep all four in town

Prefer museums, markets and shopping? Four London days leave time for Kensington, Greenwich and an unhurried pace.

Shorter or longer stay? Compare our 3 days in London plan by private car and the 5-day London itinerary with Bath and Windsor.

Drive times

How far are the day trips from London by car?

Each country day is planned so the drive is part of the pleasure, not most of the day. Times are typical door-to-door estimates from central London.

  • Windsor: about an hour

    The shortest trip, which leaves a relaxed afternoon for Eton and the river at Marlow.

  • Oxford: about an hour and a half

    A quick motorway run along the M40, arriving in time for the colleges to open.

  • Cotswolds: about two hours

    Burford comes first, and the lanes between the villages are where a private car helps most.

  • Stonehenge: about two hours

    Bath is then about an hour further on, which is why this day starts earlier.

Journey times rise on Friday afternoons and bank holidays; your chauffeur watches the traffic and picks the quickest road home.

Included

What does the 4-day price include?

Everything the car needs for four days is built in. You pay only for entry tickets and food.

One chauffeur for the trip

We keep the same driver for all four days wherever we can, so by day two your routine, your hotel and your pace are known.

Collection from your door

Pickup at any London hotel or home, and drop-off there or at a restaurant each evening.

Every road cost

Fuel for the country miles, parking near each stop, the Congestion Charge and the ULEZ.

Seats for children

Child seats fitted at no charge when you ask, and bags stay safely in the car between stops.

Book timed tickets for Stonehenge, the Tower and Windsor Castle yourself once the dates are fixed. The Cotswolds villages need no tickets at all.

Bad weather

What if it rains during 4 days in London?

With the car at the kerb, rain costs minutes, not days. Every day in these programmes has a dry alternative.

City days

Trade the park walk for the National Gallery or the British Museum, both free, and spend longer inside the Abbey and the Tower.

The Bath day

Stonehenge has an indoor exhibition at the visitor centre. In Bath, the Roman Baths and the Abbey are under cover.

The Cotswolds day

Tea rooms and village pubs are part of the charm. Swap a long walk for Burford’s church and antique shops.

A forecast of heavy rain on a country day? Tell your chauffeur the evening before, and a city day can usually move into its place.

Families

How do you spend 4 days in London with kids?

Children cope best with one big sight in the morning and something lighter after lunch. Four days lets you plan that way.

  • Mix the plans

    Ask to replace the Bath day with the Natural History Museum and the Diana Memorial Playground; message us and we confirm the price.

  • Bourton for younger children

    The shallow River Windrush runs through the village green, and paddling is popular in summer.

  • Ravens beat galleries

    At the Tower, the Yeoman Warders’ tales and the ravens keep children interested longer than the exhibits.

  • Bring snacks for country days

    Drives to the Cotswolds and Bath take about two hours, and the V-Class has room to stretch out.

Food stops

Where should you eat on a 4-day London trip?

Your chauffeur builds lunch into each route. These are easy choices near the stops, from markets to old pubs.

City days

Leadenhall Market’s Victorian arcade near the Tower, Borough Market by London Bridge, or Rules in Covent Garden, open since 1798.

Bath

Sally Lunn’s, in one of the city’s oldest houses, serves its famous bun; the Pump Room offers lunch beside the Roman Baths.

The Cotswolds

Burford’s high street has old coaching inns, and Bibury’s riverside hotel serves lunch by the trout stream.

Timing

Which day should a 4-day London trip start?

The days are ordered around opening times, so the first morning is the one choice that counts.

  • Start Monday to Thursday

    Then every stop in all three programmes falls on an opening day, including the Abbey, St Paul’s and Windsor Castle.

  • Monday or Wednesday for the guards

    The Changing of the Guard usually takes place on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; check the Household Division’s monthly dates.

  • Reserve Stonehenge first

    English Heritage sells timed entry, and summer mornings go early. Pick 10:00 or 10:30 to match the drive.

  • Spring and autumn suit the Cotswolds

    Gardens are at their best in May and June, and October brings fewer visitors to Bibury.

Questions

Questions about 4 days in London with a private driver

What is the best way to spend 4 days in London?

Give two days to London and two to the countryside. Use the city days for Westminster and the Tower, then choose between the Cotswolds with Stonehenge and Bath, or Oxford with Windsor. Putting a city day between the two country days keeps the long drives apart.

How much is a 4-day London programme with a driver?

Prices cover the car for the whole programme, not each traveller. In a Mercedes E-Class, London & Cotswolds costs £1,790 and Oxford & Windsor costs £1,580. Fuel, parking, tolls and the Congestion Charge are always included.

Can we see the Cotswolds and Bath on the same trip?

Yes. The London & Cotswolds programme gives Stonehenge and Bath their own day and the villages another, so neither is rushed. Doing both in one day would mean around eleven hours in the car and little time to walk.

Do the four days need to run in a row?

Online, the programme runs on four consecutive mornings at one pickup time. For a gap between days or a different time on each morning, use the Contact us card and we reply with a fixed price for your dates.

Does the chauffeur guide us around the sights?

No. The chauffeur is a professional driver who knows the roads, the closures and the best photo stops, and shares tips in the car, but does not guide inside. A qualified guide can join any day at extra cost.

Which tickets should we buy before travelling?

Buy timed tickets for Stonehenge and the Tower of London as soon as your dates are fixed. Windsor Castle and the Oxford colleges usually have space on the day outside holidays, and the Cotswolds villages need no tickets.

Can I cancel, and how do I pay?

Yes. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup, with card payments refunded in full; inside 24 hours the fare is charged. Pay by card on the booking form, or choose cash and pay your chauffeur in pounds on the first morning.
