Season events from The Berkeley
Big days out from The Berkeley. For the Chelsea Flower Show, allow about 8 minutes for the 1.6 miles; it runs 18–22 May 2027. Wimbledon is about 24 minutes away (28 June – 11 July 2027). Guards Polo at Smith's Lawn, usually from April to mid-September, with the Queen's Cup between late May and mid-June, takes about 44 minutes by road. 18.4 miles separate the hotel from Epsom Downs Racecourse, home of the Derby at Epsom. The hotel has two pools, and guests have access to the four-floor Surrenne Belgravia wellbeing club. The Berkeley is on Wilton Place.
How the day runs
Take Wimbledon as the example: the drive from The Berkeley is 6.4 miles via the A4, A308 and A3205. Drop-off follows the organisers' rules: church Road is partly closed. Ride-share cars cannot pass the closure and must use drop-off areas on Marryat Road and Wimbledon Park Road. Registered debenture holders can request a pass for private chauffeur drop-off/pick-up in Car Park 5. Blue Badge drop-off is opposite Gate 13, Somerset Road. After the last race or the final session, the car is ready to go. Coming back to the hotel takes about 24 minutes, plus the time the car parks need to clear. For a plain race day, Royal Windsor Racecourse is about 37 minutes and Kempton Park Racecourse takes 39 min. Tickets come from the organisers; Ravensley has no link with any event and simply drives you there.
