Event & venue transfers
Around 7.6 miles door to door, 25 min when the roads are behaving. From £50, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Fitzrovia to Alexandra Palace is £50 in a saloon, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £70 in an 8-seater. It is about 7.6 miles and 25 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.

| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £65 |

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 Goodge Street (the Northern line) across to Alexandra Palace (National Rail), then a 20-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a steep uphill walk unless you wait for the shuttle. The taxi is about 25 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.
From the W1T, W1W streets the route runs via the A501 then the A400, finishing on A406 North Circular, then Bounds Green Road. About 7.6 miles in all - 25 min when it flows, 40 min when it does not.
Pickups in Fitzrovia land inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already in the price - and on W1T, W1W the driver will name a legal stopping point rather than idle on a red route.
The Palm Court entrance on Alexandra Palace Way. The hill up to the Palace is steep and the internal roads run one-way on event nights, so pickup is at Palm Court rather than the car parks. 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: Alexandra Palace Way, Wood Green, N22 7AY.
Parking at Alexandra Palace is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the show. Working back, that means leaving Fitzrovia 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 £70 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 Goodge Street to Alexandra Palace plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

A 6-seat MPV is £65 and an 8-seater £70. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
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.
