Blacklane chauffeur service during Christmas is as efficient as always. The luxury transport experts urge busy Londoners to plan ahead as much as possible to make important flights, meetings, events and celebrations across the city over Christmas, Twixtmas and New Year.
During the holiday season, bookings for London evening rides surge by nearly 50 percent compared to November, as travellers ramp up arriving to festivities in style. Thursdays are taking over Fridays as the most popular day of the week around London during party season according to Blacklaneโs data.
The only week of December this changes is โFrantic Fridayโ, the last Friday before Christmas Day on 20th December, named for when most people are out celebrating with colleagues and friends. Blacklaneโs bookings are up almost a third on Frantic Friday 20th December compared to Thursday 19th December, a trend expected to be compounded by several transport challenges in and around the Capital during December.
Travel hub Liverpool Street connecting London to the East of England, will be shut for eight days from Christmas Day to 2nd January, Paddington Station going to the West of England and Wales will also be shut from December 27th for three days, and St Pancras will also face severe disruption from 21st-29th December. For those looking to travel further afield from Heathrow, the Elizabeth Line will face strikes on New Yearโs Eve, impacting festive travellers.
James Dow, Blacklaneโs general manager for London, explains:
โHere at Blacklane weโre working hard to ensure Londoners can keep their busy work and personal lives moving in comfort despite travel disruption this holiday season. London gets a burst of festive energy during the holidays, and while the pace picks up outside, inside a Blacklane we help to slow things down so Londoners can enjoy reliability without compromising on style.
โShowing up unflustered and ready to work and play hard during the Christmas and New Year festivities is a key priority. Chauffeur services have become essential for navigating the city’s hustle, especially when time is precious. We invite Londoners to make their Blacklane a personal respite from the holiday chaos.โ
Blacklaneโs chauffeur services are regularly used for productive and comfortable travel into and around London, and to and from Londonโs airports by those looking to make the most of their journeys. As well as Londonโs major airports and international train stations proving to be among the most popular pick-up and drop-off locations for Blacklane, luxury hotels including The Langham, Grosvenor House and the Rosewood are some of Blacklaneโs guestsโ most favoured places.
