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 Whitechapel (District, Elizabeth and the Overground) to Fulham Broadway (the District line), plus a 8-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the station is one-in-one-out after big games. Door to door by road is about 25 min, or 45 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 Whitechapel (E1) the driver picks up the A11 then the A1202, joining A4 Talgarth Road, then Fulham Road for the run-in. That is about 9.2 miles. Reckon 25 min off-peak and 45 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Any address across Whitechapel works, E1 included, at whatever hour the East London traffic is doing its worst.
Britannia Road or the Chelsea Farmers Market end of the King's Road, clear of the Fulham Road closure. Fulham Road closes either side of kick-off and the ground sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, which is already included in the fare. 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: Fulham Road, Chelsea, SW6 1HS.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: Stamford Bridge 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. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the match. Working back, that means leaving Whitechapel around 45 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.
£60 in a saloon, £75 in a 6-seat MPV and £80 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 Whitechapel to Fulham Broadway plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Britannia Road or the Chelsea Farmers Market end of the King's Road, clear of the Fulham Road closure. 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.
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 £75 and an 8-seater £80. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
