Worth knowing

Timing
The 2-mile run typically takes 10–20 min. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual train.

The BDC to King's Cross Station, planned properly
A The BDC–King's Cross Station transfer lives or dies on the two meeting points and the fixed price. Angel’s one-way maze punishes improvisation — a pre-booked car beats a hailed one here by a wider margin than almost anywhere in London. Inbound, the train is tracked and the The BDC pickup moves to your real arrival; the fare from £47 is agreed before you travel, either direction.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the 2 miles, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
