Coach access and collection points in London
Separate passenger stops from coach parking
Transport for London publishes a coach parking map, coach ban areas and notices about major works and events. Use these alongside the venue’s own arrival instructions when choosing a collection point. A passenger stop and somewhere the driver can wait through your visit are different parts of the plan. For a central London programme, ask for both to be identified before the itinerary is confirmed.
Give the exact airport and venue entrance
An arrival at Heathrow, Gatwick or London City should be a separate line in the transport brief, with the flight number, terminal and luggage count. For conferences, theatre trips or museum visits, include the entrance shown on your booking rather than only the attraction name. Ask the operator to check the vehicle’s applicable London emissions requirements and planned road closures for your travel date.
Local guidance checked 12 September 2026: TfL coach driver guidance. Recheck the official guidance for your travel date.
Example: airport, hotel and evening event
For a group arriving at Heathrow and attending an evening event, request an airport-to-hotel transfer and a separate hotel-to-venue movement. Include time to unload bags and check in. State whether the evening vehicle should wait or return at an agreed collection time. This is an example brief, not a published journey time or a completed customer booking.
Request the vehicle capacity, luggage allowance, waiting arrangement and any access or parking charges in writing. Compare coach hire options or request your London quote.

Planning your London journey
How should I organise several timed visits in London?
Put the venues in order with a required arrival time for each one. Use full addresses in London, England, and distinguish a waiting period from a new pickup. The schedule can then be checked as a complete itinerary.
Can our London enquiry include an onward visit to Watford?
Yes, you can request an onward leg to Watford. The map references are about 25 km apart in a straight line. This does not establish the road distance or vehicle availability. Give the onward address, the visit duration and whether you need to return.
What should I include for arrivals at London City Airport (LCY)?
Use the airport shown on your ticket, such as London City Airport (LCY), along with the flight number, date, terminal if known and number of bags. State any arrivals on different flights; collection arrangements and waiting terms need confirmation.
Can a London coach wait outside our venue throughout the visit?
Do not assume that a passenger collection point permits long-stay parking. Ask for the drop-off, waiting location and return collection point to be checked separately. Tell us if anyone needs a shorter walking distance or extra boarding time.
