Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
On the network it is Hackney Central (the Overground) to Watford Junction (London Overground and National Rail), plus a connecting bus at the far end. The catch is that the shuttle bus from the station only runs to tour times, so one missed connection is a missed slot. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 50 min, or 1h 15m when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. 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.
Out of Hackney (E5, E8, E9) the driver picks up the A107 then the A10, joining M1 J6 or M25 J21a, then A4008 and Studio Tour Drive for the run-in. That is about 24.3 miles. Reckon 50 min off-peak and 1h 15m if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Any address across Hackney works, E5, E8, E9 included, at whatever hour the East London traffic is doing its worst.
The Studio Tour Drive coach and taxi drop-off, right at the entrance. Tour entry is by timed ticket and late arrivals are not admitted, so we build in a buffer and aim to land 20 minutes before your slot. 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: Studio Tour Drive, Leavesden, WD25 7LR.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London has its own car park, but it fills from mid-morning in school holidays and at weekends, and the approach road backs up before the barrier does. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Entry is timed, so we work backwards from your slot: 1h 15m for the drive from Hackney plus a margin for the approach road, which is the part that actually runs late.

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