THE ROUTE
The heart of the West End.
Guildford Garden and the wider West End are best reached via Waterloo or Charing Cross, with the final stretch through the area's largely pedestrianised streets on foot — which is why the fare and timing sit close to our other Central London routes.
The short answer: a taxi from Covent to Guildford Garden typically costs from around £170, with a journey of 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic.
POST-SHOW PICKUP
Nobody wants to hail a cab with 800 other people.
When a West End performance ends, everyone leaves the theatre at once — trying to find a car on the street at that moment is the worst time to start looking.
Give us your show time, we'll handle the rest
Tell us your performance time when booking and a driver is scheduled to be waiting nearby as the show lets out, rather than something you try to arrange in the crowd afterwards.
HOW PRICING WORKS
One fare, agreed before you travel.
The fare is set by distance and vehicle type, confirmed before you travel. Any congestion charge, ULEZ or toll that applies to your route is added transparently to the quote — never an unexplained extra afterwards.
A couple attending an evening performance would typically confirm a saloon at a fixed fare from £170 outbound, with the return leg booked to a specific post-show pickup time — no scrambling for a cab once the curtain falls.
