Event & venue transfers
Around 8.0 miles door to door, 25 min when the roads are behaving. From £55, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from London Bridge to Olympia London is £55 in a saloon, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £75 in an 8-seater. It is about 8.0 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.

| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £65 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £75 |
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 London Bridge (the Jubilee and Northern lines plus Southeastern, Southern and Thameslink) across to Kensington (Olympia) (District and the Overground), then a 2-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the District service to Olympia is sparse outside event days. 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. 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.
Out of London Bridge (SE1) the driver picks up the A3 then the A200 then the A3200, joining A4 then A315 Hammersmith Road for the run-in. That is about 8.0 miles. Reckon 25 min off-peak and 45 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
London Bridge is dense, one-way and camera-enforced. The driver texts a workable standing point in SE1 instead of guessing, which is the difference between a two-minute wait and a fine.
Olympia Way, off Hammersmith Road by the Grand Hall entrance. Hammersmith Road is a red route at the venue frontage, so set down and pick up happen on Olympia Way or Maclise Road. 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: Hammersmith Road, Kensington, W14 8UX.
Parking at Olympia London is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the event. Working back, that means leaving London Bridge 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.
£55 in a saloon, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £75 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 London Bridge to Kensington (Olympia) plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Olympia Way, off Hammersmith Road by the Grand Hall entrance. 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.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
A 6-seat MPV is £65 and an 8-seater £75. 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.
