Marylebone to Emirates Stadium runs to roughly 5.3 miles and 20 min off-peak. We quote £40 and that is the number you pay, whatever the traffic does.

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 Marylebone (the Bakerloo line and Chiltern Railways) across to Arsenal (the Piccadilly line), then a 5-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Arsenal station is exit-only for a spell after full time. 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. 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.
Out of Marylebone (W1G, W1H, W1U, NW1) the driver picks up the A501 Marylebone Road then the A5, joining A1 Holloway Road, then Drayton Park for the run-in. Roughly 5.3 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 20 min clear, 35 min loaded.
Marylebone is dense, one-way and camera-enforced. The driver texts a workable standing point in W1G, W1H, W1U, NW1 instead of guessing, which is the difference between a two-minute wait and a fine.
Drayton Park or the Hornsey Road side; Queensland Road and Hornsey Road fill quickly after full time. Islington runs a matchday parking and road-closure zone around the ground, so the pickup point sits a few streets out on Hornsey 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: Hornsey Road, Highbury, N7 7AJ.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Emirates Stadium 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. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Marylebone 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, £55 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 Marylebone to Arsenal plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Drayton Park or the Hornsey Road side; Queensland Road and Hornsey Road fill quickly after full time. 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.
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.
