The The Albert Hall–Paddington transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Kensington Gore allows brief set-down by Door 6; after performances, Prince Consort Road behind the hall is the calm pickup everyone else discovers too late. At Paddington Station, your driver meets you on the concourse with the train tracked — so the 2-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 10–20 min for the 2 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.
