Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
The public-transport version starts at Covent Garden (the Piccadilly line) and finishes at Fulham Broadway (the District line), with a 8-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the station is one-in-one-out after big games. Door to door by road is about 20 min, or 35 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. 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.
The usual line from Covent Garden is the A4 Strand then the A400, then A4 Talgarth Road, then Fulham Road at the end. That is about 6.1 miles. Reckon 20 min off-peak and 35 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
In Covent Garden the pavement outside your door is often the one place a car cannot stop. We agree the point in WC2E, WC2H, WC2B up front and the driver is on it, not circling.
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. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Covent Garden 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, £60 in a 6-seat MPV and £65 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 Covent Garden 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.
A 6-seat MPV is £60 and an 8-seater £65. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
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.
