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 Green Park (Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria) 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. Door to door by road is about 50 min, or 1h 15m 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.
Out of St James's (SW1A, SW1Y) the driver picks up the A4 then the A302, joining M1 J6 or M25 J21a, then A4008 and Studio Tour Drive for the run-in. About 24.5 miles in all - 50 min when it flows, 1h 15m when it does not.
St James's is dense, one-way and camera-enforced. The driver texts a workable standing point in SW1A, SW1Y instead of guessing, which is the difference between a two-minute wait and a fine.
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 15m for the drive from St James's plus a margin for the approach road, which is the part that actually runs late.
£115 in a saloon, £145 in a 6-seat MPV and £160 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 50 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Green Park to Watford Junction plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

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.
A 6-seat MPV is £145 and an 8-seater £160. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
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.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
