Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot from Heathrow Airport
A chauffeured day at Royal Ascot, starting from Heathrow Airport. At Heathrow the chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall of your terminal and handles the luggage. On the map the run is 15.7 miles and about 27 minutes in clear traffic, by way of the M25, A30 and A329. Compared with a Mayfair start, it is 23 minutes less in the car. In 2027 it runs 15–19 June. Farnborough Airport is about 30 minutes away by road (14.2 miles).
How the day runs
If you are flying in for the day, the chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you in arrivals. An executive saloon is the usual choice for a pair. Leaving Heathrow Airport, the car picks up the M25 and keeps to the main roads. Drop-off at Ascot Racecourse follows the organisers' published arrangements for the day. Between your arrival and the last of the day, the chauffeur stays within easy reach. After the last of the day, it is about 29 minutes back to Heathrow Airport.
