Event & venue transfers
Stamford Bridge is close enough to Kensington & Chelsea that the journey is not the problem - the last quarter mile is. A car booked in advance is from £30, waits at a named point, and saves you the walk in whatever the weather is doing.
A taxi from Kensington & Chelsea to Stamford Bridge is £30 in a saloon, £40 in a 6-seat MPV and £40 in an 8-seater. It is a short local run. 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 £30 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £40 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £40 |
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 South Kensington (District, Circle and Piccadilly) and finishes at Fulham Broadway (the District line), with 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 10 min, or 15 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. 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.
From Kensington & Chelsea it is barely a journey on paper - A4 Talgarth Road, then Fulham Road and you are there. Fulham Road closes either side of kick-off and the ground sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already included in the fare. What the fixed fare buys you is a driver who already knows which side of the closure to sit on.
Any address across Kensington & Chelsea works, SW3, SW5, SW7, W8 included, at whatever hour the West London traffic is doing its worst.
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 Kensington & Chelsea around 15 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.
£30 in a saloon, £40 in a 6-seat MPV and £40 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 10 min off-peak. The rail alternative is South Kensington 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.
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 £40 and an 8-seater £40. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
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.
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.
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 7 September 2026.
