How the day runs

Your car is at the door of The Ampersand Hotel before you come down. An executive saloon is the usual choice for a pair. From there it is the A4, M4 and A4130 to Henley Royal Regatta course, Henley-on-Thames. No private-car drop-off point is published, so you are set down at the nearest permitted spot. While you are inside, the chauffeur waits nearby and is ready when you are. Back at The Ampersand Hotel about 48 minutes after leaving the gates, give or take the exit queue.
