We have used the same private car several times on visits to London.
The driver can accommodate 4 people and their luggage. We have used
this service to travel from Southampton to Central London (hotel), from
Central London to Harwich, for airport transportation between Heathrow
and hotel in Central London. You may consider this service to be
expensive, but it's worth every penny. I have no need to handle all
that luggage. I can give you the email address for this wonderful
gentleman if you'd like.
