From Canary Wharf (E14) the natural line out is the A1261 and the A13, joining A40 Westway, then Bayswater Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 9.1 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 25 min off-peak becomes 45 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Marble Arch or Lancaster Gate, depending on which gate you leave by - Park Lane is closed to waiting traffic. Park Lane and West Carriage Drive close around the event, so the meeting point is agreed by gate: Marble Arch, Lancaster Gate or Hyde Park Corner.
Address: Hyde Park, Westminster, W2 2UH.
Any address in Canary Wharf works, along with the wider E14 area of East London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
We cover the whole of Canary Wharf - E14 - including the residential streets where a passing cab is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Doors are usually an hour before the festival starts. Allowing 45 min for the drive from Canary Wharf plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

A saloon is from £40, an estate from £50, a 6-seat MPV from £60 and an 8-seat minibus from £80. The price is fixed when you book and covers the whole journey.
