Private Coach Hire from London to Hampton Court Palace
A private coach allows the group to travel directly from its agreed London collection point rather than coordinating individual journeys to the palace.
Hampton Court Palace coach hire can suit:
- International tour groups
- Schools and educational groups
- Tour operators and DMCs
- Private groups and families
- Language schools and international students
- Corporate groups
- Historical and cultural societies
- Senior and community groups
The return journey can be arranged back to London or the visit can form part of a wider sightseeing itinerary.
Hampton Court Palace Group Visits
Hampton Court Palace actively welcomes organised groups, making it particularly suitable for private coach travel.
Groups should arrange palace admission separately and check the applicable entry arrangements for their chosen date.
Where the group has a booked admission or guided visit, provide the required arrival time when requesting your transport quotation.
This allows the coach journey to be planned around the actual visit rather than using an approximate departure time from London.
Coach Drop-Off & Collection at Hampton Court Palace
Coach access at Hampton Court should be planned before the journey.
The palace's current visitor information identifies Hampton Court Station Coach Park, approximately 200 metres from the palace entrance, and Hampton Court Green, approximately 500 metres from the entrance, as coach/minibus drop-off and collection locations.
Full-size coaches should not simply assume that the palace's normal on-site car park can be used.
Parking and access arrangements can change, so the applicable arrangements should be checked for the date of travel rather than relying on an old journey.
Coach Parking near Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Station and Hampton Court Green provide options for coach movements close to the palace.
The most appropriate arrangement can depend on the vehicle, visit and current parking conditions.
We deliberately do not publish fixed coach-parking charges on this page because parking arrangements and prices can change independently of Birley Travel.
Passengers should also be prepared for a short walk between the coach location and palace entrance.
Minibus Hire to Hampton Court Palace with a Driver
Smaller groups can arrange a minibus to Hampton Court Palace with a professional driver.
This can work particularly well for private families, international visitors, smaller educational groups and corporate parties that do not require a full-size coach.

Our 16 seater Mercedes Sprinter with driver includes leather seating, air conditioning, charging ports and boot storage.

London Hotel to Hampton Court Palace Transfers
International groups staying in London can arrange private transport directly from their hotel to Hampton Court Palace.
This avoids requiring a larger tour group to navigate several stages of public transport together and allows the day's transport to operate around the group's planned itinerary.
Provide the exact London hotel when requesting a quotation because access for full-size coaches varies considerably between properties.

Hampton Court & Windsor Group Tours
For groups interested particularly in royal history, Hampton Court and Windsor can both form part of a wider itinerary from London.

Private groups and larger families can arrange their own minibus or coach with a driver for a day at Hampton Court Palace.

The vehicle can provide the outward and return journey while the group arranges its own palace tickets and activities.
Corporate Group Visits to Hampton Court
Companies can also incorporate Hampton Court Palace into a client, staff or corporate hospitality programme.
Executive minibus or coach transport can connect company offices, London hotels, restaurants and the palace.
