We are getting married on New Years Eve and are trying to work out transport options and wondered if any of you had clever ideas!


We need a car to get 4 people from Dulwich to a Central London venue approx 4pm departure.

We then need to get 3 grandparents back to Sydenham at approx 11pm.

Then parents back to Dulwich at 1am.


They are worried that taxis will be a nightmare to hail and very expensive if not booked in advance.


Anyone out there got any clever ideas at all? Not after anything fancy!

Or have any good ideas as to where else I could ask?


Many thanks.

I would just book taxis in advance... Some years Addison Lee keep their prices the same as usual over the holiday period to beat off the competition. I used them 2 years ago on boxing day and new years eve to ferry myself and family members around.


Have a lovely wedding!

Hi mason and green are very helpful and really nice cars. Just going to say though that depending on where the venue is in central London they may have to take a large detour to come back for 11pm as they close all the bridges near central London at 8.15 pm for the fireworks on nye. Been caught out by this ourselves and paid a fortune in a black cab as they had to go round all of the closures to better to have a pre booked and quoted price taxi.

    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
