Royal Ascot is the most famous race meeting in the world — five days in June at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, attended by the Royal Family, Britain's most distinguished families, and guests from every corner of the world. It is, above all, an occasion: the fashion, the Royal Procession along the course each afternoon, the Gold Cup on Thursday — Ascot is as much about the experience as the racing.
Mayfair & City Carriages has been chauffeuring London's finest to Royal Ascot since 1980. In those four decades, we have developed an unmatched understanding of the journey: the optimal routes from London to Berkshire, the drop-off points for each enclosure, and the return timing that avoids the evening departure from the car parks.
The journey from Mayfair to Ascot Racecourse takes approximately 50 minutes — through Richmond Park, past Windsor Great Park, and into the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. In a Rolls-Royce Phantom or a Bentley Flying Spur, it is among the most pleasurable hours of the racing week.
Transfer from your London address to Ascot in the morning, return in the evening. The most popular arrangement for daily attendees.
