01 / HOTELThe Ampersand Hotel, South Kensington
The Ampersand is a bright, contemporary hotel on Harrington Road in South Kensington, celebrated for its playful, design-led interiors and a superb location for culture: the Victoria & Albert, Natural History and Science Museums are all a few minutes’ walk, as is South Kensington Underground. It’s a polished, characterful base in one of London’s most desirable districts — and close to the A4, an easy run from Heathrow.
02 / FARESFixed fares from every London airport

03 / AREAGetting around South Kensington
South Kensington is genteel, green and superbly connected. Beyond the great museums, you’re close to Hyde Park, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, with Harrods and the King’s Road a short hop away. South Kensington station (District, Circle and Piccadilly lines) is nearby, though a door-to-door car is easier with luggage. Its western position makes airport runs, especially to Heathrow, quick and predictable.
04 / WHYWhy book a fixed-fare transfer
Arriving after a long flight, the last thing you want is a rank queue or a surging app fare. A pre-booked transfer means a named, DBS-checked driver waiting in arrivals with your name, your flight tracked so they adjust to delays, and help with your luggage straight to the door of The Ampersand Hotel. As a TfL-licensed private hire operator, Rushxo handles any road or crossing charges within the quoted fare — one clean price, door to door.
05 / BOOKBooking your transfer
Book ahead with your flight number and The Ampersand Hotel as the destination, and we’ll do the rest — tracking the flight, meeting you in arrivals, and taking you straight there. Travelling as a group or with extra luggage? Executive, MPV and larger vehicles are available; just tell us on booking and we’ll quote the fixed fare.
