Anyone know how much cab is from Dulwich to EC London?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Has anyone got any ideas how much a cab from Dulwich to EC London ( Mincing Street) is?

Was meant to go partying in Mayfair but was let down so considering a friends' club in EC London if the cab doesn't break the bank since there are no direct buses etc there!

Thanking you all in advance!

Can't see a Mincing St in the A-Z but Mincing Lane is on the route of the 40 bus - just after it turns off Bishopsgate - ?20-25 quid in a cab I reckon

Phone up your local cab offices and ask them. Take the name of the person who told this to you. Make sure you tell them when you are wanting to do the journey. Then you have a figure to argue to the driver who may add fiver on top!

Sorry it is Mincing Lane! Minster Court, 3 Mincing Lane, London, EC3R 7AA, so that means I can take the 40 there and get a cab back thus saving money?! Yay! Cinderella shall go to the ball!

Thanks Mike, no idea where Bishopgate and all of that is but I am sure I can ask the driver to tell me when to get off.

Thank you Peckham Rose also, I shall book a taxi on standby for coming back and hopefully in my drunken haze I won't get ripped off if we have agreed a price beforehand!

About ?15 with Addison Lee (set up an account and you don't even have to make sure you have enough cash left at the end of the night)

Addison Lee? I'll google that! That is a good price! As just going to Lewisham sets me back ?10, but I do find most cab companies even the registered ones rip us off, usually on the phone they say one thing and then you have an argument with the driver who says something else.

Mike, this is the 40 bus route:

ulwich - Camberwell - Elephant & Castle - London Bridge - Aldgate

Dulwich Library - Lordship Lane - Grove Vale - East Dulwich Station - Dog Kennel Hill - Grove Lane - Champion Park - Denmark Hill Station - Champion Park - Denmark Hill - Camberwell Green - Camberwell Road - Walworth - Walworth Road - Elephant & Castle Station - Newington Causeway - Borough High Street - Borough Station - Borough High Street - London Bridge Station - London Bridge - King William Street - Monument Station - Gracechurch Street - Fenchurch Street (for Station) - Aldgate - St. Botolph Street - Middlesex Street - Aldgate High Street - Minories - Aldgate Bus Station

Where would Bishopgate be? so I know roughly! I like details and plans me!

just after monupment but before Gracechurch St, HeidiHi

first stop after monument, Fenchurch St on the right - walk along there for a bit - mincing lane just off there

I work next to Mincing Lane.

You can take the 40 bus all the way and get off just before sainsburys or at fenchurch street station. (After you cross the bridge the bus will turn right at M+S, be on alert for sainsburys!)

You could also take the train to london bridge then walk it about 15 mins.

Depending which side of east dulwich you live you could also take the 78 from down by peckham rye all the way over Tower bridge and walk from there.

A black cab is about ?18-20 (more after midnight). Obviously a mini cab is cheaper.

Are you going to Agenda??

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Thank you all! That is very helpful!! I shall be on alert for Sainsburys! I don't relish walking in my four inches heels but hey, no pain no gain!

Yes I am off to Agenda! Have you been there before?

My friend is spinning the decks there and has been asking me to come for ages but as it is so far I always declined!

Was meant to go pangaea in Mayfair but that has been cancelled due to people being ill so we will go next week and I just don't fancy all the typical tourist clubs up west.

I have not been to a club for years at 30 I feel extremely old, I am sure the crowd is getting younger and younger so I might just regret going!

Gracechurch St. is a continuation of Bishopsgate, but jump off in Fenchurch St. as Mincing lane goes off Fenchurch St.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Thank you Steve, I hope it is not too much walking , glam gear and heels don't go well with walking!

[AcedOut]

Agenda isn't bad on weekdays, but no idea what it's like at the weekends. Would be intrigued to know. I've not been to Pangaea for ages - has that place not been renamed again yet!?

I'm off to Covent Garden tonight. About to book my AdLee!

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Does anyone know how long the journey takes?

I have been reading the reviews for agenda and it doesn't sounds great but then today is a special event that my friend is hosting so hopefully it will be ok or I will moan tomorrow and say to myself " That's why you have not been clubbing for years!".

I will give Pangaea a go next week and let you know how it is, same name and all the reviews sounds great!

I used to go Covent Garden but I cannot find any decent bars there so I gave up!, I hope you have a great time!

[HonaloochieB]

How much does it cost? Fourpence three farthings? Twenty guineas? A bag of sand?

Why would you think that anyone on here would know better than a cab firm?

But have a nice night.

[mikese22]

you need to get off between Gracechurch and Fenchurch streets - though it's all so close together any stop after you've crossed the river would be fine
