Event & venue transfers
Around 10.0 miles door to door, 25 min when the roads are behaving. From £60, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Hounslow to The Championships, Wimbledon is £60 in a saloon, £75 in a 6-seat MPV and £85 in an 8-seater. It is about 10.0 miles and 25 min off-peak, or 45 min in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £60 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £75 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £85 |
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 Hounslow Central (the Piccadilly line) and finishes at Southfields (the District line), with a 15-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Southfields is queue-managed throughout The Championships. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 25 min, or 45 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 TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8, TW13, TW14, W4 streets the route runs via the A4 then the A30 then the A315, finishing on A3 then A219 Parkside. Roughly 10.0 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 25 min clear, 45 min loaded.
Any address across Hounslow works, TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8, TW13, TW14, W4 included, at whatever hour the West London traffic is doing its worst.
Somerset Road or Burghley Road; Church Road itself is closed to traffic during The Championships. Church Road and Somerset Road operate a controlled zone through the fortnight, so drivers meet at the agreed gate rather than the main entrance. 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: All England Lawn Tennis Club, Church Road, SW19 5AE.
Parking at The Championships, Wimbledon 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 day at the tennis. Working back, that means leaving Hounslow around 45 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.
£60 in a saloon, £75 in a 6-seat MPV and £85 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 Hounslow Central to Southfields plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Somerset Road or Burghley Road; Church Road itself is closed to traffic during The Championships. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
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.
A 6-seat MPV is £75 and an 8-seater £85. 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.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
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 25 September 2026.
