Combine a private Mercedes transfer from London with a 1.5‑hour Self‑Discovery tour at Bombay Sapphire’s Laverstoke Mill. Enjoy a behind‑the‑scenes look at vapour‑infusion distillation, a riverside drink, and timely drop‑off at Southampton Port.
You move out of London's traffic folds into the quiet chalk-valley country of Hampshire — the Mercedes V‑Class hums, the chauffeur negotiates motorway junctions, and the River Test begins to push the landscape into softer lines. The mill buildings of Laverstoke rise by the water, glasshouses catching light; for 90 minutes you step from transit into a focused distillery visit that pairs craft gin history with riverside calm.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You move out of London's traffic folds into the quiet chalk-valley country of Hampshire — the Mercedes V‑Class hums, the chauffeur negotiates motorway junctions, and the River Test begins to push the landscape into softer lines. The mill buildings of Laverstoke rise by the water, glasshouses catching light; for 90 minutes you step from transit into a focused distillery visit that pairs craft gin history with riverside calm.
Laverstoke Mill occupies a rebuilt industrial site beside the River Test; once a paper mill, it was converted to house Bombay Sapphire’s distillation process and public Self‑Discovery Experience. The tour traces gin’s cultural arc and the site’s adaptive reuse, then moves through botanical glasshouses and the Dakin Still House to illustrate vapour‑infusion distillation. The visit finishes at the Mill Bar overlooking the Test, where a complimentary drink reflects your taste profile.
Practically: allow roughly 4–4.5 hours for a London pickup (City, LHR, or LGW), the 1.5‑hour tour, and onward drop at Southampton Port. Tours run mainly on Fridays–Sundays and enforce a minimum drinking age of 25; Laverstoke is a working facility so closed shoes are required. Luggage limits are one suitcase and one carry‑on per passenger, groups up to six. Traffic can add time—factor airport and cruise schedules into your pick‑up.
Plan to bring photo ID, sensible footwear, and a light layer for the riverside bar. The stop is short but immersive: a tidy blend of industrial history, botanical curiosity, and a riverside pause before arrival at the port.
The Self‑Discovery Experience is about 1.5 hours; total transfer time is typically 4–4.5 hours including driving between London and Southampton.
The operator enforces a Challenge 25 policy — anyone who appears under 25 and wishes to consume alcohol must show valid photo ID.
Each traveler is allowed 1 suitcase and 1 carry‑on; oversized items like surfboards or bikes may be restricted—check with the operator before booking.
Distillery tours are offered mainly on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and are subject to availability, so confirm tour day and time when booking your transfer.
RHOMTRIP operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
