On the network it is Wimbledon (the District line, South Western Railway, Thameslink and Tramlink) to Hammersmith (District, Piccadilly and Circle), plus a 3-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is genuinely close, so rail is a fair option on this one. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 25 min, or 45 min 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.
From the SW19, SW20 streets the route runs via the A219 then the A238 then the A3, finishing on A4 Hammersmith flyover, then Queen Caroline Street. About 8.3 miles in all - 25 min when it flows, 45 min when it does not.
Any address across Wimbledon works, SW19, SW20 included, at whatever hour the South West London traffic is doing its worst.
Queen Caroline Street, on the riverside side of the flyover. The Hammersmith gyratory is one-way and the flyover has no stopping, so drivers come round to Queen Caroline Street. 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: 45 Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, W6 9QH.
Parking at Eventim Apollo is limited and the surrounding streets are metered or permit-only, so self-driving usually costs more in time than the fare saves. Pre-booked both ways, none of that is your problem.
Doors are usually an hour before the show. Working back, that means leaving Wimbledon 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.
£55 in a saloon, £70 in a 6-seat MPV and £75 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 Wimbledon to Hammersmith plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Queen Caroline Street, on the riverside side of the flyover. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
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.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
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.
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.
