Event & venue transfers
Around 10.3 miles door to door, 25 min when the roads are behaving. From £60, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Barnet to OVO Arena Wembley is £60 in a saloon, £75 in a 6-seat MPV and £85 in an 8-seater. It is about 10.3 miles and 25 min off-peak, or 45 min in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £60 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £75 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £85 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
By rail you would go High Barnet (the Northern line) across to Wembley Park (Metropolitan and Jubilee), then a 10-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it shares the post-event queueing with the stadium next door. The taxi is about 25 min, or 45 min when the roads are full, but it is one journey rather than three, and nobody stands up for any of it. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
Out of Barnet (EN4, EN5, N12, N20) the driver picks up the A1 then the A406, joining A406 North Circular to Great Central Way, then Engineers Way for the run-in. Roughly 10.3 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 25 min clear, 45 min loaded.
Barnet pickups take in all of EN4, EN5, N12, N20. Controlled parking zones and one-way systems are the driver's problem to solve, not yours.
Set down and pick up on Engineers Way, on the Olympic Way side of the arena. Engineers Way and Olympic Way close to traffic around stadium and arena events, so the pickup shifts to the Wembley Park end. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: Arena Square, Engineers Way, HA9 0AA.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: OVO Arena Wembley sits inside a matchday or event-day controlled parking zone, on-site spaces are pre-book only and go early, and the residential streets around it are permit-holders only with active enforcement. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the show. Working back, that means leaving Barnet around 45 min plus that hour on a busy night - and booking the return at the same time, because the road out is slower than the road in.
£60 in a saloon, £75 in a 6-seat MPV and £85 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 25 min off-peak. The rail alternative is High Barnet to Wembley Park plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Set down and pick up on Engineers Way, on the Olympic Way side of the arena. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
Yes, and it is the leg worth booking. The driver is in position before you come out instead of you joining the queue that forms the moment it ends.
A 6-seat MPV is £75 and an 8-seater £85. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle. Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and the exact pickup address. Page reviewed 7 September 2026.
