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 London Bridge (the Jubilee and Northern lines plus Southeastern, Southern and Thameslink) to South Kensington (District, Circle and Piccadilly), plus a 12-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a pleasant walk in daylight and much less so leaving late. Door to door by road is about 20 min, or 40 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. Two people with hand luggage should take the train. Three or more, or anyone with a case, and the fixed fare splits better than the tickets do.
The usual line from London Bridge is the A3 then the A200 then the A3200, then A4 Cromwell Road, then Exhibition Road at the end. About 6.7 miles in all - 20 min when it flows, 40 min when it does not.
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.
Prince Consort Road, behind the Hall - Kensington Gore is red route with no waiting. Kensington Gore is a red route where a car cannot legally wait, so the pickup is always around the back on Prince Consort 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: Kensington Gore, South Kensington, SW7 2AP.
Parking at Royal Albert Hall 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 concert. Working back, that means leaving London Bridge around 40 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.
£50 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 London Bridge to South Kensington plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Prince Consort Road, behind the Hall - Kensington Gore is red route with no waiting. 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 £60 and an 8-seater £65. 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.
