Silverstone Circuit sits on the Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire border, around 70 miles north-west of central London. On race weekend the surrounding roads carry some of the heaviest traffic of the British sporting year, and the most reliable plan is to leave early and agree your return time in advance.
Guests reach Silverstone through Heathrow, Luton or Birmingham, or from a London hotel. Some arrive by helicopter or business jet, and we can coordinate the ground leg at either end. Whichever way you travel, a pre-booked chauffeur means no queue for a taxi at the end of a long day.
For the airport leg, VIP assistance and fast track can shorten the time between aircraft door and car. For the days around the race, see our London chauffeur service.
Planning tips
- Leave much earlier than you think you need to, particularly on race Sunday.
- Agree a pick-up time and place with your chauffeur, and allow for a slow exit once the race ends.
- Staying nearby or travelling the day before often saves more time than any shortcut on the day.
- Check what transport your hospitality package includes before booking separately.
