Event & venue transfers
Around 5.4 miles door to door, 20 min when the roads are behaving. From £45, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Bethnal Green to Emirates Stadium is £45 in a saloon, £55 in a 6-seat MPV and £60 in an 8-seater. It is about 5.4 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 £60 |
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 Bethnal Green (the Central line) across to Arsenal (the Piccadilly line), then a 5-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Arsenal station is exit-only for a spell after full time. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 20 min, or 35 min when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. 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.
From the E2 streets the route runs via the A1209 then the A107, finishing on A1 Holloway Road, then Drayton Park. Roughly 5.4 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 20 min clear, 35 min loaded.
We cover the whole of Bethnal Green - E2 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Drayton Park or the Hornsey Road side; Queensland Road and Hornsey Road fill quickly after full time. Islington runs a matchday parking and road-closure zone around the ground, so the pickup point sits a few streets out on Hornsey 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: Hornsey Road, Highbury, N7 7AJ.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Emirates 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. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Bethnal Green 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 £60 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 Bethnal Green to Arsenal plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Drayton Park or the Hornsey Road side; Queensland Road and Hornsey Road fill quickly after full time. 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.
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 £55 and an 8-seater £60. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
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.
