Before you travel
Good to know about The Apollo to Paddington.
Worth knowing
The gyratory post-show is Hammersmith’s nightly puzzle — our drivers stage south of the flyover and escape via the A4 directly.
Curtain-plus-ten
We track running times on the night, so the car is at the agreed point about ten minutes after the final encore — never gone, never early.
Timing
The 4-mile run typically takes 10–20 min. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual train.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
The The Apollo–Paddington transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Queen Caroline Street’s drop-off works until thirty minutes before doors — after that, the Fulham Palace Road corner is the move. At Paddington Station, your driver meets you on the concourse with the train tracked — so the 4-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the 4 miles, with 45 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.

What does the The Apollo–Paddington Station car cost?
From £45 for a saloon, agreed before you book — the same fare applies in reverse, and larger vehicles are priced up front too.
Where are we met at The Apollo?
Queen Caroline Street’s drop-off works until thirty minutes before doors — after that, the Fulham Palace Road corner is the move.
Can I book the return to The Apollo?
Yes — returns are welcome and often discounted, with the pickup point agreed before you go in and adjusted live if the day runs long.
Does the price change on event days?
No. The fare is fixed when you book — event-day traffic, closures and staging are our problem to plan around, not a surcharge.
Can you take a group?
