Event & venue transfers
Around 6.8 miles door to door, 20 min when the roads are behaving. From £50, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Bloomsbury to Stamford Bridge is £50 in a saloon, £60 in a 6-seat MPV and £70 in an 8-seater. It is about 6.8 miles and 20 min off-peak, or 40 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 £50 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £60 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £70 |
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 Russell Square (the Piccadilly line) across to Fulham Broadway (the District line), then a 8-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the station is one-in-one-out after big games. The taxi is about 20 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. 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.
The usual line from Bloomsbury is the A501 then the A400, then A4 Talgarth Road, then Fulham Road at the end. About 6.8 miles in all - 20 min when it flows, 40 min when it does not.
Pickups in Bloomsbury land inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already in the price - and on WC1 the driver will name a legal stopping point rather than idle on a red route.
Britannia Road or the Chelsea Farmers Market end of the King's Road, clear of the Fulham Road closure. Fulham Road closes either side of kick-off and the ground sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already included in the fare. 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: Fulham Road, Chelsea, SW6 1HS.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Stamford Bridge 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 Bloomsbury 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, £60 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 20 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Russell Square to Fulham Broadway plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Britannia Road or the Chelsea Farmers Market end of the King's Road, clear of the Fulham Road closure. 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.
A 6-seat MPV is £60 and an 8-seater £70. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
