You step into Heathrow’s arrivals hall and a driver is waiting—smartly dressed, holding a card with your name. Within minutes you’re settled in an air-conditioned executive vehicle, the city unfolding as the Thames curves toward central London. The engine hums; pavements, bridges and monuments slide past: Big Ben keeping time, the Houses of Parliament rising like a civic ridge, the wheel of the London Eye turning slowly against the sky.
