Off the plane at Heathrow and on to Kew Palace. It is 11.0 miles on the M4, A4 and A205, about 18 minutes in clear traffic.

How the day runs
Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall, takes the luggage and has the car outside the terminal. A luxury people-carrier suits the day when there are more of you, or more luggage. Drop-off is at the visitor entrance of Kew Palace; the chauffeur then waits nearby. For a longer stay, Richmond Hill Hotel sits about 14 minutes from the estate. Pair it with Chiswick House, about 16 minutes by road. The way back to Heathrow Airport is about 19 minutes — and the car can drop you at the terminal for an evening flight.
