Event & venue transfers
Fixed at £50 from Brent to Olympia London, about 7.8 miles and 25 min on a clear road. The price is locked when you book, not when you travel.

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 Wembley Park (Metropolitan and Jubilee) across to Kensington (Olympia) (District and the Overground), then a 2-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the District service to Olympia is sparse outside event days. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 25 min, or 40 min when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. 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.
From the NW10, HA0, HA9 streets the route runs via the A406 then the A404, finishing on A4 then A315 Hammersmith Road. About 7.8 miles in all - 25 min when it flows, 40 min when it does not.
Any address across Brent works, NW10, HA0, HA9 included, at whatever hour the North West London traffic is doing its worst.
Olympia Way, off Hammersmith Road by the Grand Hall entrance. Hammersmith Road is a red route at the venue frontage, so set down and pick up happen on Olympia Way or Maclise 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: Hammersmith Road, Kensington, W14 8UX.
Parking at Olympia London is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the event. Working back, that means leaving Brent 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 £75 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 Wembley Park to Kensington (Olympia) plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Olympia Way, off Hammersmith Road by the Grand Hall entrance. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
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.
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 £65 and an 8-seater £75. 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.
