London Day Tour with AD: Claridge’s Lunch, Sights, and a Smooth Ride Home

Posted: 03/11/2025

Some days deserve a little extra polish. This London day tour started in the New Forest, paused for a very special lunch at Claridge’s, and carried on through the capital’s highlights before heading home to Barton on Sea via Winchester—all in comfort, calm and good humour. That’s the AD Premium Travel way: value for money and fair, transparent pricing, without losing the magic of the day.

We planned timings around the restaurant reservation, built a sensible sightseeing loop, and staged the car where drop-offs and pick-ups are easy. The vehicle? A plush Senzati configuration of a Luxury MPV—the perfect blend of lounge-like comfort and real-world practicality for London.

If you’re based in the New Forest (Barton on Sea, Lyndhurst, Burley, Brockenhurst, Lymington and beyond) and fancy a big day out—lunch, galleries, a show—our online Bookings page makes it quick to set up. Choose the day, tell us who’s coming and what you want to see, and we’ll map a plan that feels special but still sensibly priced. Questions first? Drop a note via Contact Us or call +44(0)2380981758

The day at a glance

  • Pick-up: New Forest (Barton on Sea)

  • London lunch: Claridge’s (pre-booked)

  • Afternoon: curated sights + relaxed stops (coffee, photos, a little shopping)

  • Route home: via Winchester for an early-evening walkabout and drop-off

  • Vehicle: Senzati-style Luxury MPV—quiet ride, loads of space, easy access

We keep the pace unhurried: time to enjoy lunch, browse, and still feel fresh when you get home.

Why AD for big days out?

  • Value for money: Thoughtful routing + the right vehicle = premium experience without premium drama.

  • Fair, transparent pricing: Clear quote up front; no mystery extras.

  • Local knowledge: Smart London set-downs and pick-ups; back-routes that avoid the worst pinch points.

  • Flexible schedule: Add a gallery, a riverside stroll, or a last-minute detour—we’ll keep the day flowing.

  • One vehicle, one base: A Luxury MPV keeps everyone together (and keeps jackets, shopping and umbrellas handy).

Pricing that makes sense

You’ll get one clear quote that covers your agreed route, vehicle and waiting time. Want to add a photo stop, extra shop or a later finish? We’ll confirm any change before we commit so you stay in control of the spend. For city extras (congestion or venue fees), we’ll advise options up front.
