When visiting London, shuttles are hardly the main priority. But these locations offer smart opportunities to book transfers so as to enliven short trips.

A stopover,Making the Most of a Short Trip to London Articles a day trip or a lightning quick mini-break - you may only have a few hours, but in London you can make those minutes count. This city has so much to offer even the traveller with limited time, but you will need to figure out how to maximise your time in England's capital.

One way you can do this is by booking your transport ahead of time so you don't waste time waiting around on someone else's schedule. If you book with a private company, they'll be able to pick you up wherever you like so you can enjoy each and every moment – right up until the last one!

Victoria Street Station

Why waste time going back to your hotel if you're having a great time? You can arrange for London shuttles to pick you up from a different point in the city so you can enjoy every last minute. One such place is Victoria Street Station - not only is it easy to get there on the tube, there are luggage lockers, excellent places to wine and dine nearby, and, being such a central hub of transportation, a private service will have no qualms about picking you up there.

Piccadilly Circus

Another fine place to book a pickup for London shuttles is Piccadilly. You don't need to stand at the busy juncture and whistle for a cab - you can book ahead and happily immerse yourself in the bubbling street life until it's time to leave. A historic centre for activity in the West End, you can be sure that no matter when you arrive there will be something happening to give you a taste of the city's iconic ambience. From the theatre shows to the galleries, there is much in this area that will make a short stay feel as full as a longer one. If you have a late flight, you can catch a show in the West End before being picked up by one of the private London shuttles for the trip to the airport.

South Bank

If theatre and street-life are appealing to you, you might also consider a lightning last minute visit to South Bank. This area of the Thames entices tourists with intriguing shows, historic landmarks and bustling markets. While your driver may well have to navigate through busy traffic to get you to the airport, it is well worth it. You will have made sure that your precious last moments in the city, whether during the day or night, were spent in the heart of the classic part of the city under the watchful eye of Big Ben.

Soho

Perhaps your small amount of time in the city lands you there at night. If this is the case, and you don’t want to waste a minute when you could be dancing, drinking, eating, or simply strolling under the neon buzz, private London shuttles can drop you right in the heart of Soho. These streets are full of up-market and niche establishments catering to the international visitor's eclectic tastes, and if you haven't pre-arranged accommodation, you can book straight in to one of the many establishments here.

Don’t waste a moment of your precious time in London – tailor your arrangements to suit your time frame and the city will do the rest!
