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 Richmond (the District line, London Overground and South Western Railway) to Watford Junction (London Overground and National Rail), plus a connecting bus at the far end. The catch is that the shuttle bus from the station only runs to tour times, so one missed connection is a missed slot. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 45 min, or 1h 10m 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 Richmond upon Thames (TW1, TW2, TW9, TW10, TW11, TW12, SW13, SW14) the driver picks up the A316 then the A205 then the A305, joining M1 J6 or M25 J21a, then A4008 and Studio Tour Drive for the run-in. That is about 23.2 miles. Reckon 45 min off-peak and 1h 10m if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Richmond upon Thames pickups take in all of TW1, TW2, TW9, TW10, TW11, TW12, SW13, SW14. Controlled parking zones and one-way systems are the driver's problem to solve, not yours.
The Studio Tour Drive coach and taxi drop-off, right at the entrance. Tour entry is by timed ticket and late arrivals are not admitted, so we build in a buffer and aim to land 20 minutes before your slot. 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: Studio Tour Drive, Leavesden, WD25 7LR.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London has its own car park, but it fills from mid-morning in school holidays and at weekends, and the approach road backs up before the barrier does. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.
Entry is timed, so we work backwards from your slot: 1h 10m for the drive from Richmond upon Thames plus a margin for the approach road, which is the part that actually runs late.
£110 in a saloon, £140 in a 6-seat MPV and £155 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 45 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Richmond to Watford Junction plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
The Studio Tour Drive coach and taxi drop-off, right at the entrance. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
A 6-seat MPV is £140 and an 8-seater £155. 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.
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.
