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 Richmond (the District line, London Overground and South Western Railway) across to Southfields (the District line), then a 15-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that Southfields is queue-managed throughout The Championships. Door to door by road is about 25 min, or 40 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.
From the TW1, TW2, TW9, TW10, TW11, TW12, SW13, SW14 streets the route runs via the A316 then the A205 then the A305, finishing on A3 then A219 Parkside. About 7.3 miles in all - 25 min when it flows, 40 min when it does not.
We cover the whole of Richmond upon Thames - TW1, TW2, TW9, TW10, TW11, TW12, SW13, SW14 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Somerset Road or Burghley Road; Church Road itself is closed to traffic during The Championships. Church Road and Somerset Road operate a controlled zone through the fortnight, so drivers meet at the agreed gate rather than the main entrance. 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: All England Lawn Tennis Club, Church Road, SW19 5AE.
Parking at The Championships, Wimbledon 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 day at the tennis. Working back, that means leaving Richmond upon Thames 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, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £70 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 Richmond to Southfields plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Somerset Road or Burghley Road; Church Road itself is closed to traffic during The Championships. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
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 £65 and an 8-seater £70. 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.
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 25 September 2026.
