Taxi or train from Borough?

The public-transport version starts at Borough (the Northern line) and finishes at Charlton (National Rail), with a 6-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a limited service, and weekend engineering works are common. Door to door by road is about 25 min, or 45 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.

The route

Out of Borough (SE1) the driver picks up the A3 then the A100, joining A102 then A206 Woolwich Road for the run-in. Roughly 8 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 25 min clear, 45 min loaded.

In Borough the pavement outside your door is often the one place a car cannot stop. We agree the point in SE1 up front and the driver is on it, not circling.

Where the driver waits at The Valley

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.

Parking at The Valley

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. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.

When to leave Borough

Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Borough 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.

What the fare includes

Borough to The Valley: common questions

How much is a taxi from Borough to The Valley?

£77 in a saloon, £98 in a 6-seat MPV and £187 in a V Class. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.

Is it quicker than public transport from Borough?

Door to door the car is about 25 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Borough to Charlton plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

Where does the driver wait at The Valley?

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.

Do you carry groups from Borough?

A 6-seat MPV is £98 and a V Class £187. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.

Can I book the return from The Valley as well?

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.

Is the price affected by traffic or the time of night?

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

How do I pay?

Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
