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 Bermondsey (the Jubilee line) to Charlton (National Rail), plus a 6-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a limited service, and weekend engineering works are common. The taxi is about 25 min, or 40 min when the roads are full, but it is one journey rather than three, and nobody stands up for any of it. If you are travelling light and early, the train usually wins on price. If you are in a group, carrying anything, or leaving after an event, the car wins on everything else.
The usual line from Bermondsey is the A200 then the A2206, then A102 then A206 Woolwich Road at the end. That is about 7.5 miles. Reckon 25 min off-peak and 40 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
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.
Charlton Church Lane or Harvey Gardens, a two-minute walk from the West Stand. Floyd Road is closed to traffic at full time, so pickup is up the hill on Charlton Church Lane. 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: Floyd Road, Charlton, SE7 8BL.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: The Valley 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 40 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.
£50 in a saloon, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £70 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 Bermondsey to Charlton plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Charlton Church Lane or Harvey Gardens, a two-minute walk from the West Stand. 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.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
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.
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 25 September 2026.
