BFI London Film Festival Chauffeur — London Wheels Limo

Arrive in Style at the BFI London Film Festival

The festival is as much about the occasion as the films. Our chauffeurs collect you from your hotel or home and drop you at the venue entrance in a clean, comfortable car, so you arrive relaxed and on time.

We plan each journey around your festival programme, whether that is a single gala or a week of screenings, meetings and parties.

Red-Carpet Arrivals for Guests and Industry

The festival's headline galas are known for their red-carpet arrivals. With our chauffeur service, your arrival is smooth and well timed, in a car that suits the occasion.

Whether you are an invited guest, an industry professional or a film lover with a gala ticket, you get the same care and attention we give to talent. Your arrival sets the tone for the evening, so we make sure it goes to plan.

Stress-Free Festival Travel

Driving in London during the festival is hard work, with busy traffic around Leicester Square and the Southbank, road closures for galas and crowds outside venues. Our chauffeurs know the festival venues and the best drop-off points, so you get to each screening on time.

Your safety comes first, and every journey is driven carefully by an experienced chauffeur. We run a professional chauffeur service built around safe, punctual arrivals.

Experienced With London's Film Events

We regularly drive film industry professionals, studio executives, press and film fans to the BFI London Film Festival. We know the festival pace: screenings start early and run late across the Southbank and the West End. Our chauffeurs plan each journey around your programme and watch the traffic, so every transfer is smooth.

Discreet Transfers for Talent and Industry

Discretion matters when driving talent, directors, producers and media figures. Our chauffeurs never talk to press, never share schedules and know the quieter entrances and exits at festival venues. Every chauffeur signs a non-disclosure agreement, so your movements and conversations stay private.

Transfers Between Festival Venues

Festival venues include BFI Southbank, the Royal Festival Hall, the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, Vue West End and the ICA. Moving between screenings, press events and parties takes careful planning. We map your day, keep your chauffeur close to each venue and make sure you move smoothly from one to the next, whether you need a single transfer or a chauffeur for the whole day.

Best Price Guarantee on Festival Transport

Our festival pricing is clear, with no hidden fees and no surge pricing on busy premiere nights. The Congestion Charge, parking and tolls are added at cost where they apply. If you find a comparable premium chauffeur service at a lower price, we will match it and refund 100% of the difference. Book early for the best availability, as demand for event cars in London peaks during the October festival.
