London Wheels Limo — Luxury Chauffeur Experts Updated: September 2026 6 min read

Bournemouth is one of England's favourite seaside towns, with about seven miles of sandy beach, a Victorian pier, gardens running down the cliffs to the sea and the famous Sandbanks peninsula next door. It is a lovely day out for families, couples and anyone who needs some sea air. With a private chauffeur, you get there relaxed and spend the whole day as you like.

Chauffeur-driven tour of Bournemouth — London Wheels Limo

Why Visit Bournemouth With a Private Chauffeur?

The drive from London to Bournemouth takes around two and a half hours, mostly on the M3 and M27. That is far more relaxing in the back of a car than behind the wheel, and much easier than a train with beach bags. Your chauffeur collects you from home or your hotel, drives you straight to the coast and stays with you all day, waiting at each stop and adjusting the plan as you go.

No parking to find, no timetables to check and no rushing for the last train home. Just arrive, enjoy the day and relax on the way back.

Bournemouth Beach and the Seafront

The beach is the main reason people come. A long curve of fine golden sand runs from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks in the west, and it regularly wins awards for cleanliness. Along the promenade you will find beach huts, cafés, restaurants and water sports from paddleboarding and kayaking to beach volleyball.

Your chauffeur will drop you wherever you want to go onto the sand and collect you when you are ready for the next stop, whether that is the pier, the gardens or Sandbanks.

Bournemouth Pier

Bournemouth Pier is one of the best-known Victorian piers in England, reaching 183 metres out to sea. A wooden jetty first stood here in 1856, and the iron pier opened in 1880. Today it has amusements, a zip wire from the end back to the beach, and fantastic views back along the cliffs on a clear day.

Your sightseeing chauffeur will drop you right at the pier entrance and wait while you walk to the end and back.

Bournemouth's Clifftop Gardens

The Lower, Central and Upper Gardens run from the town centre down to the seafront, with paths, bridges and plants that love the town's mild climate. They are well kept, peaceful and a lovely break from the busy beach.

They look best in spring and early summer, when the flowers are out. Your chauffeur can drop you at the top and meet you at the bottom, so you only have to walk downhill.

Sandbanks Peninsula

Sandbanks is a narrow strip of land at the mouth of Poole Harbour, famous for having some of the most expensive seaside homes in the world. The beaches here are wide, clean and sheltered, and the views across the harbour to Brownsea Island and the Purbeck Hills are superb on a clear day.

A chain ferry crosses from Sandbanks to Studland, opening up Corfe Castle and the Jurassic Coast beyond. Your chauffeur can add Sandbanks and the Poole Harbour area to your day, or take you further along the coast if you have time.

Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum

On the East Cliff above the beach, the Russell-Cotes is one of the south coast's hidden gems. The house was built at the turn of the 20th century for Sir Merton and Lady Russell-Cotes and is packed with paintings, sculpture, Japanese objects and souvenirs from their travels. The richly decorated rooms and the sea views are as impressive as the collection.

Your chauffeur will drop you at the entrance and wait while you look around.
