Event & venue transfers
Fixed at £45 from Bermondsey to London Stadium, about 5.9 miles and 20 min on a clear road. The price is locked when you book, not when you travel.
A taxi from Bermondsey to London Stadium is £45 in a saloon, £55 in a 6-seat MPV and £65 in an 8-seater. It is about 5.9 miles and 20 min off-peak, or 35 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 £45 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £55 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £65 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
The public-transport version starts at Bermondsey (the Jubilee line) and finishes at Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth and the DLR), with a 18-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the walk across the park is long and fully exposed to weather. Door to door by road is about 20 min, or 35 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. Two people with hand luggage should take the train. Three or more, or anyone with a case, and the fixed fare splits better than the tickets do.
Out of Bermondsey (SE1, SE16) the driver picks up the A200 then the A2206, joining A12 Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach, then Warton Road for the run-in. Roughly 5.9 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 20 min clear, 35 min loaded.
Pickups in Bermondsey land inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already in the price - and on SE1, SE16 the driver will name a legal stopping point rather than idle on a red route.
Pudding Mill Lane is the quickest private hire pickup; the Stratford side jams solid after events. The Olympic Park bridges are pedestrian-only on event days, so pickup is on the Pudding Mill Lane side rather than Westfield. 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: Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, E20 2ST.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: London Stadium 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 match. Working back, that means leaving Bermondsey around 35 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.
£45 in a saloon, £55 in a 6-seat MPV and £65 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 20 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Bermondsey to Stratford plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Pudding Mill Lane is the quickest private hire pickup; the Stratford side jams solid after events. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
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.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
A 6-seat MPV is £55 and an 8-seater £65. 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.
