Event & venue transfers
Around 5.1 miles door to door, 20 min when the roads are behaving. From £40, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Knightsbridge to Eventim Apollo is £40 in a saloon, £50 in a 6-seat MPV and £60 in an 8-seater. It is about 5.1 miles and 20 min off-peak, or 35 min 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 £50 |

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 Knightsbridge (the Piccadilly line) across to Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly and Circle), then a 3-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is genuinely close, so rail is a fair option on this one. 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. 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 usual line from Knightsbridge is the A4 then the A315, then A4 Hammersmith flyover, then Queen Caroline Street at the end. That is about 5.1 miles. Reckon 20 min off-peak and 35 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Knightsbridge is dense, one-way and camera-enforced. The driver texts a workable standing point in SW1X, SW7 instead of guessing, which is the difference between a two-minute wait and a fine.
Queen Caroline Street, on the riverside side of the flyover. The Hammersmith gyratory is one-way and the flyover has no stopping, so drivers come round to Queen Caroline Street. 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: 45 Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, W6 9QH.
Parking at Eventim Apollo is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the show. Working back, that means leaving Knightsbridge 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.
£40 in a saloon, £50 in a 6-seat MPV and £60 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 Knightsbridge to Hammersmith plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Queen Caroline Street, on the riverside side of the flyover. 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 £50 and an 8-seater £60. 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.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
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.
