Around 29.8 miles door to door, 55 min when the roads are behaving. From £130, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Ilford to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is £130 in a saloon, £165 in a 6-seat MPV and £180 in an 8-seater. It is about 29.8 miles and 55 min off-peak, or 1h 25m 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 £165 |

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 Ilford (the Elizabeth line) 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 55 min, or 1h 25m 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.
From the IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6 streets the route runs via the A12 then the A118 then the A406, finishing on M1 J6 or M25 J21a, then A4008 and Studio Tour Drive. Roughly 29.8 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 55 min clear, 1h 25m loaded.
We cover the whole of Ilford - IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
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. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.
Entry is timed, so we work backwards from your slot: 1h 25m for the drive from Ilford plus a margin for the approach road, which is the part that actually runs late.
£130 in a saloon, £165 in a 6-seat MPV and £180 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 55 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Ilford to Watford Junction plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
A 6-seat MPV is £165 and an 8-seater £180. 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.
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.
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.
