Event & venue transfers
Around 8.7 miles door to door, 25 min when the roads are behaving. From £55, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.

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 Bethnal Green (the Central line) to Meridian Water (National Rail), plus a 10-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is an infrequent service that stops running before the venue does. 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. 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 Bethnal Green (E2) the driver picks up the A1209 then the A107, joining A406 North Circular, then Meridian Way for the run-in. That is about 8.7 miles. Reckon 25 min off-peak and 45 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Bethnal Green pickups take in all of E2. Controlled parking zones and one-way systems are the driver's problem to solve, not yours.
Glover Drive, on the Meridian Water station side. Drumsheds runs late and Meridian Water has almost no night transport, so a pre-booked pickup is the practical way out after 02:00. 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: 6 Glover Drive, Meridian Water, Enfield, N18 3HF.
Parking at Drumsheds is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the event. Working back, that means leaving Bethnal Green 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.
£55 in a saloon, £70 in a 6-seat MPV and £80 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 Bethnal Green to Meridian Water plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
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 7 September 2026.
