Taxi or train from Holborn?

The public-transport version starts at Holborn (Central and Piccadilly) and finishes at South Kensington (District, Circle and Piccadilly), with a 12-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a pleasant walk in daylight and much less so leaving late. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 20 min, or 30 min when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. 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 route

Out of Holborn (WC1V, WC2) the driver picks up the A40 then the A201, joining A4 Cromwell Road, then Exhibition Road for the run-in. That is about 3 miles. Reckon 20 min off-peak and 30 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.

Holborn is dense, one-way and camera-enforced. The driver texts a workable standing point in WC1V, WC2 instead of guessing, which is the difference between a two-minute wait and a fine.

Where the driver waits at Royal Albert Hall

Prince Consort Road, behind the Hall - Kensington Gore is red route with no waiting. Kensington Gore is a red route where a car cannot legally wait, so the pickup is always around the back on Prince Consort 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: Kensington Gore, South Kensington, SW7 2AP.

Parking at Royal Albert Hall

Parking at Royal Albert Hall 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.

When to leave Holborn

Doors are usually an hour before the concert. Working back, that means leaving Holborn around 30 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.
