One clear instruction
At London Bridge, save the station side, meeting landmark and approach message before the train arrives.
01 — The station handover
Where the chauffeur meets you at London Bridge
Your meeting point is inside the lower concourse by the agreed information point. The relevant route from the train is the Tooley Street or St Thomas Street exit named in the booking. The passenger receives one concourse point, one street side and the vehicle description. The chauffeur does not wait in a taxi-only rank or an active loading lane; if the kerb is controlled, the passenger and chauffeur meet first and walk to the car together. London Bridge carries South Eastern, Southern and Thameslink services through central London.
For a departure, the car uses a legal passenger bay on the confirmed St Thomas Street side. The final approach is via St Thomas Street or Tooley Street, kept explicit because they are opposite sides. The chauffeur unloads the booked luggage at a permitted place and leaves the stopping area promptly. The lower concourse connects the street exits with escalators and lifts to platforms. Station signs, road restrictions and staff directions govern the exact point available on the day, so a temporary closure may move the handover to a nearby lawful bay.

03 — Delayed trains and onward roads
Keeping a London Bridge collection connected
Where the rail operator publishes live running times for the booked service, FCET follows them and adjusts the collection plan for a reported delay. Live rail data does not identify when a particular passenger has reached the concourse, so the passenger still texts after leaving the platform. If no usable running information is published, that message becomes the timing update. The agreed meeting point remains Lower concourse information point unless both sides confirm a change.
Road guides from the station are 19.5 miles and about 50 minutes to Heathrow, 49 miles and about 1 hour 20 minutes to Gatwick, and 44.1 miles and about 1 hour 25 minutes to Reading. Links below also connect the terminus with Wokingham, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Basingstoke. The precise London exit, traffic and complete destination shape the final schedule.
04 — Passenger and luggage
The station meeting continues at the car
The chauffeur confirms the passenger and onward address, assists with the recorded luggage and uses the permitted vehicle point stated in the approach message.
