Shaw's Corner
Shaw's Corner from Heathrow Airport
Landing at Heathrow with a day for Shaw's Corner. About 47 minutes each way, near enough, over 33.9 miles of the M4, M25 and B651. This is a writer's house museum in Ayot St Lawrence. Shaw's Corner is looked after by the National Trust.
How the day runs
The chauffeur follows the flight and is waiting in arrivals, so the day starts as you clear the hall. Most parties take an executive saloon. The chauffeur brings you to the entrance of Shaw's Corner and stays close for the return. For a longer stay, Luton Hoo sits about 26 minutes from the estate. A second house, Knebworth House, lies 4.9 miles away. The way back to Heathrow Airport is about 50 minutes — and the car can drop you at the terminal for an evening flight.
