How to Get to Goodwood Racecourse from London: Chauffeur Travel Guide
Planning your visit to Goodwood this summer? Whether you’re off to the Festival of Speed, Glorious Goodwood or the Revival, one thing’s certain – you don’t want to battle train queues or rural taxi roulette. Goodwood Racecourse is around 60 miles from Central London, and the best way to get there (in our humble opinion) is simple: step into a chauffeur-driven OUNO vehicle and let the journey be part of the experience.
Key Facts – Goodwood Chauffeur Travel
- Distance from Central London: ~60 miles
- Typical journey time: 1h 30min by car
- OUNO fare: from around £160 all-in
- Fleet: Mercedes S-Class, V-Class, EQS Electric
- Complimentary 1-hour wait for delays
What’s On at Goodwood This Summer?
Goodwood isn’t just a racecourse – it’s a calendar of iconic British events, each one a spectacle in its own right. Here’s what’s drawing the crowds (and the Aston Martins) this summer:
Festival of Speed – (early July)
The Festival of Speed is the motorsport world’s most glamorous garden party. Expect hypercars, hill climbs, champagne lawns and tech reveals from the likes of Porsche, McLaren and Bugatti. Guests include racing legends and Hollywood elites. If you’re planning next summer’s social calendar, this one’s a must – and yes, OUNO books out early for it.
Qatar Goodwood Festival (aka Glorious Goodwood) – Late July to Early August
Picture linen suits, statement hats, Pimm’s in hand. Glorious Goodwood is the crown jewel of flat racing – elegant, relaxed, and unashamedly stylish. It blends high fashion with world-class sport in a more laid-back setting than Ascot, but just as exclusive. Many guests turn the event into a long weekend – pairing racing by day with fine dining and boutique stays in Chichester.
Goodwood Revival – September
If you like your horsepower with a side of nostalgia, this one’s unmissable. Goodwood Revival transforms the estate into a 1940s–60s film set – classic cars, vintage outfits, period music and aviation flyovers. It’s a time-travel fantasy with impeccable taste.
Whether you’re attending one event or all three, one thing is clear: Goodwood is no place to arrive flustered. These are days for elegance, presence – and ideally, not worrying about parking.
How Do I Get to Goodwood Racecourse by Train?
Take Southern Rail from London Victoria to Chichester. The journey takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. From Chichester station, it’s another 15–20 minutes by taxi to the racecourse.
- Pros: Predictable journey times, avoids road traffic.
- Cons: No direct line to the venue; taxis are scarce and oversubscribed on race days.
- Pro Tip: Pre-book your taxi—or skip the multi-leg journey and book a direct chauffeur instead.
How to Get to Goodwood Without a Car
No car? No problem. Here are your options:
- Train + Taxi: The classic combo, but it can be a logistical juggle on busy weekends.
- Coach Services: Some operators offer race-day coaches from London, though they run on fixed timetables.
- Helicopter Transfer: The fastest (and flashiest) way in. Goodwood Aerodrome accepts private charters.
- Chauffeur Service (Best Option): Door-to-door, no transfers, no queues. Just you, your driver, and a smooth arrival.
How Do I Get to Goodwood Festival from London?
As we’ve already mentioned, you have a few options. Goodwood events are premium – and so is the traffic. If you’re driving yourself or planning on using a typical hailing app, expect:
- Road closures near the racecourse
- Congestion on the A27 and local lanes
- Confusion for ride-hail drivers unfamiliar with Goodwood’s event-day routes
OUNO chauffeurs are briefed on traffic diversions, racecourse access points, and VIP drop zones – ensuring the smoothest journey possible, even when roads are at capacity.
What Is the Nearest Town to Goodwood Racecourse?
That would be Chichester – a historic cathedral city just four miles south of the racecourse.
Compact, elegant, and brimming with charm, Chichester is the ideal base for racegoers spending a night or two around the action. You’ll find boutique hotels, Georgian streets, independent shops, and a growing reputation for excellent food.
Where to stay?
If you’re after refined comfort, we recommend The Goodwood Hotel itself – set on the estate and a popular choice for VIP guests during Festival season. For something in the city, The Harbour Hotel Chichester offers sleek rooms and a rooftop terrace right in the heart of town.
Where to eat?
Book ahead at Côte Brasserie for reliably elegant French fare, or head to The Giggling Squid for upscale Thai with a relaxed atmosphere. For a memorable evening, The Ivy Chichester Brasserie delivers the full-glam experience – perfect after a day at Glorious Goodwood.
OUNO chauffeurs can collect you directly from any Chichester hotel and take you to the racecourse with ease. Whether you’re travelling in for a single day or making a weekend of it, we’ve got your journey covered.
Why a Chauffeur Is the Smartest Way to Get to Goodwood
We may be biased – but it’s for good reason:
- No Transfers: Step out of your door in London. Step onto the grass at Goodwood. No in-between.
- Stress-Free Arrival: Skip the hunt for parking and last-minute taxi apps.
- Fixed Fares: From £160. No surge pricing. No surprises.
- Luxury Guaranteed: Choose from our S-Class, V-Class, or fully electric EQS.
- Event-Day Expertise: Our chauffeurs know the exact route to take – even when traffic control doesn’t.
“We’ve driven clients to every Goodwood event for years. From early pit-crew arrivals to post-race galas, we know where to go – and when to get you there.”

Travelling to Glyndebourne Opera Festival from London: Chauffeur Tips & VIP Access
Book your Chauffeur to Glyndenourne
Download the
Ouno App
Planning a visit to Glyndebourne this summer?
You’re not just heading to an opera. You’re heading to one of Britain’s most prestigious cultural events.
Set in the rolling hills of East Sussex, the Glyndebourne Festival is a rare blend of high art and high style – where floor-length gowns meet picnic hampers, and Verdi meets vintage champagne.
It’s the kind of day where every detail matters – starting with how you get there. Because trust us, when curtain-up calls, you don’t want to be queuing for a rural taxi or battling A-road congestion.
Key Facts – London to Glyndebourne
- Distance: ~55 miles from Central London
- Travel time: ~1h 30min by car
- OUNO fares: From £141–£157 depending on pick-up location
- Vehicle options: Mercedes S-Class, V-Class, EQS Electric
- Perks: 1-hour free wait time, luggage help, route briefings
What Is the Glyndebourne Opera Festival?
Glyndebourne is no ordinary opera house. It’s a summer ritual for London’s elite – black tie on the lawn, interval picnics with silver cutlery, and world-class productions inside a state-of-the-art auditorium that only seats 1,200.
The 2025 season runs from 16 May to 24 August and features everything from Wagner’s epic Parsifal to Mozart’s evergreen Le nozze di Figaro. What’s cool about this year? Káťa Kabanová and Falstaff are also in the mix – so whether you’re into drama, comedy, or classic barbershop chaos, there’s something for every opera mood.
Can I Get Cheaper Glyndebourne Tickets?
Yes – but you’ll need to act fast. If you’re under 30, Glyndebourne offers £30 tickets to many performances, including some prime seats for £45. And if you’re under 40, you can score 50% off a pair of tickets with their membership.
What we like about this is that it opens up the festival to a new wave of guests – those who might be spending on champagne and chauffeurs, but still like a smart deal.
Thinking of Going More Than Once?
Glyndebourne offers memberships for frequent-goers and opera insiders. From priority booking access to members-only events, it’s a way to guarantee your spot – especially for the big-name nights that sell out fast.
We’re not saying you need to be a patron to enjoy the season. But if Glyndebourne becomes your summer tradition, it might be worth it.
What’s the Best Way to Get to Glyndebourne from London?
Whether you’re heading down for Mozart or Puccini, your journey to Glyndebourne should be part of the experience – not a logistical compromise. Here’s how the main travel options compare.
Train + Taxi
Take Southern Rail from Victoria to Lewes (~1h 10m). From there, it’s another 15-minute taxi to the opera house.
- Pros: Budget-friendly
- Cons: Rural taxi roulette, fixed timetables, limited late-night return options
Driving Yourself
M23 > A27. Around 1.5 hours on paper – but festival traffic can stretch that.
- Pros: Private control
- Cons: Pre-booked parking, wine restrictions, and the joy of rural sat-nav confusion
Ride-Hail Apps
Technically doable. But when you’re in a black tie waiting on patchy signal, the glamour wears thin.
- Pros: On-demand convenience
- Cons: Surge pricing, driver cancellations, no access to VIP drop points
The Best Option: Chauffeur Service by OUNO
Your schedule. Your driver. Your car.
With OUNO’s chauffeur service, enjoy fixed-fare travel from anywhere in London. A few examples:

Each journey includes:
- Real-time tracking via the OUNO app
- Executive fleet with privacy glass, chilled water, and Wi-Fi

What Do You Wear to the Glyndebourne Festival?

- Women: Floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses
- Men: Black tie or formal summer suits (no open shirts or trainers)
- Top tip: Select a V-Class or S-Class with tinted glass – ideal for changing en route
Don’t worry about creased hems or forgotten bow ties. Your OUNO chauffeur will keep the car cool, calm, and clutter-free.
Where to Stay Near Glyndebourne?

Where to Eat Before or After the Performance?

Skip the hassle of traffic jams and last-minute parking scrambles.
Whether you’re catching a headline act or hosting a client at The O2, you deserve a seamless arrival.
This is your VIP guide to getting dropped off – chauffeur-style – right where it matters. Valet. VIP gates. Zero stress.
And as an official O2 partner, we can confidently say we’ve got this handled.
Key Facts - Chauffeur Drop-Off at The O₂

- Meridian Gate is the exclusive entrance used for valet parking and VIP guest arrivals. Tucked behind the black gate, it’s private, efficient, and designed for guests who expect more.
Chauffeur tip: The roads around The O2 are regularly hit with congestion – especially post-show. Plan your arrival 60 – 90 minutes before the event for a smooth glide-in.
How does valet parking at The O2 work?
If you’re planning on driving yourself there but still want VIP access, then you don’t want to be parking miles away from the doors. Valet parking at The O2 is strictly for arena events – and it’s worth every pound.

- Hourly rates: £7 (2h) to £52 (24h)
- Electric charge points: BP Pulse
- Retail offer: 4 hours free if you spend £35+ at the Outlet
Useful if you’re visiting during the day. But for evening shows? You want Car Park 1 or valet.
What’s the smoothest way to get dropped off at The O2?
Simple. Book an OUNO chauffeur.
Your OUNO driver knows the route. Knows the timing. Knows exactly where to drop you. Because we’ve done it all before – hundreds of times.
We don’t surge. We don’t cancel.
You’ll be driven in:

- By a fully suited, vetted chauffeur
- With live tracking and exact ETA updates
- Direct to the VIP gate – stress-free, bang on schedule
Forget ride-hailing roulette. This is executive-level arrival.
What’s at The O2 (Besides the Arena)?
Think The O2 is just a concert venue? Think again. It’s a full-scale lifestyle destination – ideal for shopping sprees, cinema nights, and unforgettable experiences.
The O2 Arena
World-famous. Icon-packed. From Beyoncé to boxing, it’s where London’s biggest moments happen.
indigo at The O2
A more intimate stage – but still electric. Perfect for comedy nights, album launches and live podcasts.

Free showers (with towels & toiletries), speedy Wi-Fi, power outlets at every seat, and complimentary travel insurance in case of delay. - Verdict

How to Reach Estelle Manor by Chauffeur - and Why It’s the Only Way You’ll Want to Go
Book your Chauffeur to Estelle Manor
Download the
Ouno App
Skip the scramble of trains, taxis, and parking woes.
Skip the scramble of trains, taxis, and parking woes – this guide shows you how a stress-free, door-to-door chauffeur ride from London makes getting to Estelle Manor almost as delightful as your stay. Whether you’re winding down after a busy week or planning a special weekend escape, arriving in style sets the tone for an unforgettable retreat.
Because let’s face it – a luxury destination deserves a luxury car service arrival.
Key Facts – Estelle Manor Chauffeur Service
- Distance from Central London: ~70 miles
- Typical journey time: 1 h 45 min by car; just over 1 hour by train + taxi
- OUNO fixed fare: from £180 all-in
- Fleet: Mercedes S-Class, V-Class & EQS electric
- Complimentary wait time: 1 hour included for delays
Why Estelle Manor Feels Like a Home Away from Home
Before we talk travel, let’s explore why everyone’s raving about this country-estate gem.
Nestled amidst rolling Cotswold hills, Estelle Manor blends centuries-old character with modern creature comforts. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, you’ll discover new delights at every turn:
- Michelin-Star Dining: Every meal celebrates local, seasonal produce. Our favourite dish? The truffle-pearl pasta that’s worth every bite.
- Historic Charm with Modern Ease: Imagine oak-beam lounges and roaring fireplaces – yet discreet USB ports on every table.
- Secret Garden & Labyrinth: Lose yourself (literally) in winding paths and hidden courtyards. Perfect for a reflective stroll or your next Instagram post.
- Wellness Retreat: From cedar-wood saunas to sunrise yoga on the terrace, it’s impossible not to unwind.
How to get to Estelle Manor from London - your typical travel options
Let’s take a look at the most common ways to reach this Cotswold gem, so you can choose the option that suits your mood, style and budget.
Train + Taxi
Before you pack your suitcase, here’s the lowdown: take the train from London Paddington to Hanborough or Oxford Parkway—both journeys clock in at just over an hour. From there, it’s a 15–20 minute taxi along country lanes to the manor.
- Pros: Budget-friendly ticket prices; scenic rail ride.
- Cons: Juggling luggage through stations; timetables that don’t bend to your schedule; waiting for a taxi on a sleepy country stretch.
Self-Drive
If you’re longing for freedom behind the wheel, head out on the M40 → A44, then A4095 to the estate. You’ll cover roughly 70 miles in about 1 h 45 min (barring traffic).
- Pros: Stop wherever you fancy—maybe a roadside tea shop or that charming Cotswold village.
- Cons: Fuel costs, unexpected pit stops, and while Estelle Manor offers free parking, navigating narrow lanes in the dark can be…adventurous.
Ride-Hail Apps
Apps promise convenience, but rural routes aren’t always their strong suit. You’ll follow the same roads as self-drivers, yet surge pricing can inflate your fare by 20 – 50 %.
- Pros: No advance booking needed – just tap and wait.
- Cons: Unpredictable arrival times; spotty rural coverage; and the stress of roadside pickups at dusk.
Helicopter Arrival
For a truly dramatic entrance, you could arrange a private helicopter transfer into Estelle Manor’s landing pad. Oxford Airport is just 15 minutes away by road; contact the team at Estelle Manor in advance to secure your sky-high arrival.
The best way to get there: By chauffeur service
Obviously we’re biased, but when it comes to convenience, comfort and confidently arriving in style, nothing beats a dedicated chauffeur.
Door-to-Door Convenience: Your chauffeur arrives at your specified London address; you step into the car, and an hour and three-quarters later you’re on the manor lawn – no station runs, no luggage hassles.
- Executive Comfort: Leather seats, climate-control, complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water (and a chilled towel if you fancy).
- Fixed-Fare Peace of Mind: From £180 all-in, with no surge pricing, no hidden fees, and a one-hour grace period if your flight or train is delayed.
- Professional Expertise: Our chauffeurs know every back road and country lane, ensuring the smoothest route – even when GPS is puzzled.
- Sustainable Option: Choose our Mercedes EQS electric for a zero-emissions journey without compromising on luxury.
What to Expect on Your OUNO Ride to Estelle Manor
Arriving should feel as indulgent as your stay – here’s how we make that happen.
Once you confirm your booking, your personal chauffeur:
- Arrives at Your Doorstep: No station runs, no curb-hailing – just step outside and climb in.
- Ensures Executive Comfort: Leather seats, climate-control, complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water, and a chilled towel if you fancy.
- Keeps Our Punctuality Promise: We’ll wait up to 1 hour at no extra cost if your flight or train is delayed – after that, a small fee per 15 minutes applies.
Choosing the Perfect Vehicle for Your Estelle Manor Trip
One size doesn’t fit all – select the ride that suits your style and party size.
- Mercedes S-Class: The business class of the back seat – ideal for solo travellers or discreet meetings en route.
- Mercedes V-Class: Spacious and sociable – room for up to seven guests plus ample luggage.
- Mercedes EQS (Electric): A whisper-quiet, zero-emissions marvel for those who travel green in glamorous comfort.

How CEOs Gain 6 Hours a Week with a Chauffeur Service
Book your Chauffeur

Ouno App
What’s the most powerful productivity hack for time-poor executives?
What’s the most powerful productivity hack for time-poor executives?
A full-time chauffeur.
It’s not just a luxury – it’s a strategic move. Swapping the driver’s seat for a professional chauffeur gives CEOs back over six hours a week. That’s basically one full business day, reclaimed and reinvested in what matters most.
And with OUNO’s chauffeur service, it’s seamless from the start.
How Much Time Are You Really Losing Without a Chauffeur?
Every day, senior execs spend 75+ minutes dealing with transport – whether they’re:
- Driving themselves between meetings
- Waiting for ride-hail services to show up (or cancel)
- Dealing with traffic, diversions, or parking
- Managing back-to-back appointments with no buffer time
That adds up. Across five working days, it’s six hours gone. Not spent working. Not spent resting. Just lost in transit.
A chauffeur service like OUNO doesn’t just remove the hassle. It gives that time back.
Try our chauffeur service in London to regain control of your schedule – without compromise.
What Can You Do With Six Extra Hours?
You don’t need to imagine the possibilities – they’re already in your diary.
With a professional chauffeur:
- Morning commutes become client call slots
- Airport runs become pitch-prep sessions
- Midday transfers become your mental reset window
Instead of white-knuckling it through London traffic, you’re working, thinking, or just breathing.
That’s not indulgent. That’s efficient.
Why Chauffeur Services Beat Ride-Hailing (Every Time)
Executives choose chauffeurs for a reason. Ride-hailing might work in theory… but in practice?
- They cancel – often last minute
- They vary – in car quality, professionalism, and punctuality
- They surge – just when you need them most
With OUNO, it’s different:
- Your chauffeur is booked and confirmed
- The vehicle is immaculate, premium, and exactly what you ordered
- Your schedule stays in your control – not someone else’s app queue
No roulette. No guesswork. Just a ride that works like your calendar does AND perfectly timed.
Driving Yourself vs Booking a Chauffeur: Time Breakdown
Driving Yourself
- ~75 mins/day in traffic
- Added stress before big meetings
- Parking and navigation drains focus
- No space to work or recharge
With an OUNO Chauffeur
- 6+ hours/week reclaimed
- Executive-class space for work or rest
- Door-to-door reliability, every time
- Chauffeur waits for you – not the other way round
Who Uses Chauffeur Services Like OUNO?
The client list speaks volumes.
We serve CEOs, investors, creative leads, and C-suite execs who simply can’t waste time. They choose OUNO for:
- Elite-level punctuality and discretion
- Chauffeurs they know and trust
- Vehicles that match their image and expectations
It’s not just about luxury. It’s about showing up ready. Every. Single. Time.
How to Book a Chauffeur the Smart Way
With OUNO, the process is effortless:
- Book on-demand or in advance
- Choose from our Mercedes or electric fleet
- Modify or cancel your booking up to 1 hour before pickup
- Get 60 minutes free wait time on airport runs
- Track your chauffeur live – right from the app
Every journey is tailored. Every preference remembered. And every minute counts.
FAQs
How much time does a chauffeur service save CEOs?
On average, more than six hours a week – time usually lost to self-driving, waiting on ride-hails, or dealing with transport admin.
What makes OUNO’s chauffeur service different?
Fixed pricing, elite chauffeurs, and executive-class vehicles. No surge. No delays. No surprises.
Can I book for a full day or week?
Yes. We offer hourly, daily, and long-term chauffeur services tailored for executive routines, meetings, and events.

The smartest way to travel to the British Grand Prix in luxury
Book your Chauffeur to Silverstone
Download the
Ouno App
Luxury travel to the British Grand Prix starts before the engines do.
Forget ride-hailing roulette, crowded trains, or chaotic car parks. The smartest way to arrive? With your own private chauffeur – door-to-door, stress-free, and on your schedule.
Key Facts – Travel to Silverstone in Style
- Journey time (London to Silverstone): 90–120 mins
- Best option: Chauffeur-driven luxury car
- Reliability: Guaranteed pick-up, no cancellations
- Comfort: Executive-class vehicles, tailored service
- Cost: Fixed fare, no surge pricing
What’s the best way to travel to the British Grand Prix?
Public transport options (& why they fall short)
Silverstone’s remote location makes it tricky to access without a car. During the British Grand Prix, thousands flood into Banbury or Milton Keynes stations, then queue for packed shuttle buses.
- Trains are rammed all weekend – especially Friday and Sunday
- Racegoers face long shuttle waits and inconsistent schedules
- You risk missing key moments like driver appearances or F2/F3 races
Driving yourself
The M1 and A43 bottleneck fast on Grand Prix weekend. By 9am, the roads to Silverstone grind to a crawl – especially on Sunday. Parking permits must be pre-booked, and long walks to the gate are common.
- Traffic starts early – even before gates open
- No room for error with ticket or timing logistics
- Leaving after the race? Expect a queue just to exit the car park
Ride-hailing apps
Relying on ride-hailing is a risk too far for race weekend. Drivers often decline rural pick-ups – especially when traffic is gridlocked and mobile signal drops near the circuit.
- No Uber zones in key areas
- Massive price hikes, if you can get a car at all
- Poor mobile signal = no app access post-race
Why choose a chauffeur for Silverstone?
Door-to-door, zero stress
Whether you’re heading in for Friday’s practice or Sunday’s podium celebrations, your OUNO chauffeur picks you up where you are – and drops you exactly where you need to be.
- VIP drop-zones near hospitality suites and team paddocks
- Early access for those attending pit lane walks or Friday’s driver events
- No sprinting across car parks – just a calm, direct arrival
Arrive in comfort and style
The British Grand Prix isn’t just a race – it’s a weekend-long experience. From concerts by world-class acts (Stormzy, Rudimental) to F2/F3 and Porsche Supercup races, there’s a lot to enjoy.
- Travel in a Mercedes S-Class, Tesla or V-Class
- Recharge, rest or refresh en route – arrive ready
- Return home after the concerts in total comfort
Whether you’re heading straight to Club Silverstone, The Paddock Club, or general admission at Vale, arriving in luxury sets the tone.
Fixed fares. No surprises.
Sunday is the big draw, but traffic’s bad all three days. Surge pricing with apps can add 50–200% to fares. OUNO? Never.
- Transparent, fixed rates – even on race day
- Book early or on-demand with the same peace of mind
- Choose your route, vehicle, and return time in advance
Travelling to Silverstone in a group? OUNO’s V-Class is your winning move
Grand Prix weekends are best shared. Whether you’re hosting clients or attending with friends, the V-Class delivers:
- Up to 7 seats – plus space for flags, coolers and merchandise
- One central pick-up and one direct drop-off
- No split cars, no mixed plans – everyone arrives together
Planning to catch the Friday pit lane walk or Saturday’s sprint shootout? Your OUNO chauffeur can coordinate multiple stops, wait for you between sessions, or drop you straight to post-race drinks.
Make the most of your Grand Prix weekend
Extend the luxury to your whole itinerary
The British Grand Prix isn’t just Sunday. The full weekend includes:
- Friday: Practice sessions + Pit Lane Walk (for 3-day ticket holders)
- Saturday: Qualifying, F2/F3 races + Sprint Race
- Sunday: Main race + air shows + post-race performances
A private chauffeur makes it easy to experience every moment without worrying about parking or timing. Want to dine locally after qualifying? Need pick-up after the Sunday fireworks? We’ve got you.
VIP guests heading to the Paddock Club?
Paddock Club access means exclusivity – from gourmet catering to pit tours and team briefings. But arriving at your hospitality suite shouldn’t be a hassle.
- OUNO chauffeurs are experienced with Silverstone’s VIP entry protocols
- Access to hospitality gates and restricted VIP drop-off zones
- Return pick-up arranged to suit your club’s schedule or after-parties
Whether you’re networking with sponsors or watching the race from above the garages, you deserve a seamless, luxurious arrival.
