Event & venue transfers
Around 11.8 miles door to door, 30 min when the roads are behaving. From £65, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Sutton to Craven Cottage is £65 in a saloon, £85 in a 6-seat MPV and £95 in an 8-seater. It is about 11.8 miles and 30 min off-peak, or 50 min in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.

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 Sutton (Southern and Thameslink) to Putney Bridge (the District line), plus a 15-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it leaves a 15-minute walk through Bishops Park, unlit in winter. Door to door by road is about 30 min, or 50 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
Out of Sutton (SM1, SM2, SM3, SM4, SM5, SM6) the driver picks up the A217 then the A232 then the A24, joining A4 then A219 Fulham Palace Road for the run-in. That is about 11.8 miles. Reckon 30 min off-peak and 50 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Any address across Sutton works, SM1, SM2, SM3, SM4, SM5, SM6 included, at whatever hour the South London traffic is doing its worst.
Fulham Palace Road at the Bishops Park end - Stevenage Road is residents-only on matchdays. The ground backs onto the Thames with one road in, so drivers wait on Fulham Palace Road rather than trying to turn at the gate. 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: Stevenage Road, Fulham, SW6 6HH.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Craven Cottage 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. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Sutton around 50 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.
£65 in a saloon, £85 in a 6-seat MPV and £95 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 30 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Sutton to Putney Bridge plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Fulham Palace Road at the Bishops Park end - Stevenage Road is residents-only on matchdays. 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 £85 and an 8-seater £95. 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.
