Hello.

Quick question...

Mrs V. has got to catch a cab from Euston station to the Kingsway Hall Hotel in Covent Garden on Tuesday morning.

Does anyone know how much it will cost and how long the journey should take?

Thanks.

:D

Why does it have to be a cab?

Surely a bus or tube would do as well?

Sadly not, as she has been suffering with her legs and isn't really up for walking any distance at the moment.

Good answer. I shall now hand you over to our London Cab Fare correspondent...

According to Google Maps, it's up to 2 miles, depending on route taken.


According to Transport for London, the fare ought to be between a fiver and £12.

Hope that helps.

Thanks HK/Sas.

I think it says a lot about this forum, or more specifically the people here, that this was the first place I though of when she asked me.

:D
