Event & venue transfers
Around 4.4 miles door to door, 15 min when the roads are behaving. From £40, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Belgravia to Olympia London is £40 in a saloon, £50 in a 6-seat MPV and £55 in an 8-seater. It is about 4.4 miles and 15 min off-peak, or 30 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 £40 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £50 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £55 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
On the network it is Sloane Square (the District and Circle lines) to Kensington (Olympia) (District and the Overground), plus a 2-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the District service to Olympia is sparse outside event days. Door to door by road is about 15 min, or 30 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. 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 Belgravia (SW1X, SW1W) the driver picks up the A3216 then the A302, joining A4 then A315 Hammersmith Road for the run-in. That is about 4.4 miles. Reckon 15 min off-peak and 30 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Belgravia is dense, one-way and camera-enforced. The driver texts a workable standing point in SW1X, SW1W instead of guessing, which is the difference between a two-minute wait and a fine.
Olympia Way, off Hammersmith Road by the Grand Hall entrance. Hammersmith Road is a red route at the venue frontage, so set down and pick up happen on Olympia Way or Maclise Road. 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: Hammersmith Road, Kensington, W14 8UX.
Parking at Olympia London is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the event. Working back, that means leaving Belgravia around 30 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.
£40 in a saloon, £50 in a 6-seat MPV and £55 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 15 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Sloane Square to Kensington (Olympia) plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Olympia Way, off Hammersmith Road by the Grand Hall entrance. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
A 6-seat MPV is £50 and an 8-seater £55. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
