BMW i7 Chauffeur Journey: From Lyndhurst to London City via Watford – A Grand Tour of the M25

Posted: 27/06/2025

Some days behind the wheel offer not just a great client experience but a true showcase of why hiring a professional chauffeur makes such a difference. This was one of those days.

Our mission: to transport two private clients to London City Airport. The itinerary involved a double pick-up — first in Lyndhurst, nestled in the heart of the New Forest, and then in Watford, just outside the North London boundary. Add in a scenic but complex run across the capital and a challenging return journey, and we had the makings of a full-scale motorway adventure!

The Day Begins in Lyndhurst

Our chauffeur set off early to collect the first client from Lyndhurst. Quiet country roads, an early start, and a fully charged BMW i7 — the journey began smoothly. The New Forest looked tranquil in the morning light, and the ride was supremely comfortable for our guest, who commented on the seamless electric drive and relaxing cabin ambience.

Traffic Tangles Around Heathrow

As we made our way towards Watford, the route intersected with the Heathrow junction on the M25, where traffic was — as ever — at a near standstill. This area is notorious for bottlenecks due to the volume of airport and commuter traffic merging from multiple lanes and directions.

Thanks to careful pre-planning using inRoute and live traffic tracking, our chauffeur was able to adjust in real time and use alternate slip roads to bypass the worst of it. Still, the congestion added a layer of complexity that showcased just how critical an experienced chauffeur is when time really matters.

Second Pickup in Watford – Onwards to London City

We reached Watford and collected the second client, who joined the journey with the same relaxed ease thanks to Plus Chauffeurs’ professionalism and punctuality. The car was climate-controlled, pristine, and ready for the final push eastward.

From there, it was a direct journey to London City Airport. Despite urban congestion and unpredictable Friday traffic, we delivered both passengers with time to spare. Calm, composed, and right on schedule — exactly how it should be.

The Return: A Tour of the M25 and the Dreaded Junction 10

And now for the return…

With the passengers safely dropped off, our chauffeur began the long drive home. The only option? A clockwise loop of the M25 — and yes, it was every bit as daunting as it sounds.

Most challenging was Junction 10, where the A3 meets the M25. This notoriously difficult junction is currently undergoing major roadworks as part of a large-scale improvement project. Lane closures, diversions, temporary signage, and slow-moving traffic turned this section into a maze of cones and confusion. It’s the sort of scenario that turns an ordinary drive into a test of patience and professionalism.

Fortunately, in the cocooned comfort of the BMW i7, even the worst of traffic stress was kept at bay. Our chauffeur took it in stride, maintaining composure and ensuring a safe, steady return to base.
