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 Kennington (the Northern line) across to Fulham Broadway (the District line), then a 8-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the station is one-in-one-out after big games. Door to door by road is about 20 min, or 35 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. 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.
The usual line from Kennington is the A3 then the A23 then the A202, then A4 Talgarth Road, then Fulham Road at the end. Roughly 6.1 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 20 min clear, 35 min loaded.
In Kennington the pavement outside your door is often the one place a car cannot stop. We agree the point in SE11, SE17 up front and the driver is on it, not circling.
Britannia Road or the Chelsea Farmers Market end of the King's Road, clear of the Fulham Road closure. Fulham Road closes either side of kick-off and the ground sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already included in the fare. 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: Fulham Road, Chelsea, SW6 1HS.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Stamford Bridge sits inside a matchday or event-day controlled parking zone, on-site spaces are pre-book only and go early, and the residential streets around it are permit-holders only with active enforcement. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Kennington around 35 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.
£45 in a saloon, £60 in a 6-seat MPV and £65 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 20 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Kennington to Fulham Broadway plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Britannia Road or the Chelsea Farmers Market end of the King's Road, clear of the Fulham Road closure. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
A 6-seat MPV is £60 and an 8-seater £65. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
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.
