Blenheim Palace
Blenheim Palace from London
A day out of London to Blenheim Palace. About an hour and 25 minutes each way, near enough, over 65.4 miles of the M4, M40 and A40. You are heading into Oxfordshire. Home of the Dukes of Marlborough from 1705 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Free on-site parking with Blue Badge spaces at the main car park and a free shuttle bus to the palace. It is built in the English Baroque style.
How the day runs
The car meets you at your London door. Most parties take a luxury people-carrier for the extra room. Drop-off is at the visitor entrance of Blenheim Palace; the chauffeur then waits nearby. For a longer stay, Remont sits about 17 minutes from the estate. Rousham House is about 24 minutes on, if the day has room for a second house. The way back to Mayfair is about an hour and 25 minutes.
