How the day runs
At The Kensington Hotel the concierge will know the car is outside. You travel in an executive saloon for couples and small parties. From there it is the A3205, A217 and A218 to All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. At All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club the car uses the drop-off point the organisers set for your ticket. All day the car stays on hand; a message brings it round. After the last of the day, it is about 19 minutes back to The Kensington Hotel.
