About Business Design Centre

Business Design Centre transfer service

The Business Design Centre on Upper Street, Islington — the restored Royal Agricultural Hall — hosts a year-round programme of trade shows, exhibitions, conferences and consumer fairs, from design and art fairs to industry summits, in one of the few major exhibition venues embedded in a proper London high street.

Get London Transfer provides fixed-price transfers to the BDC: exhibitor logistics runs (people plus stand materials in MPVs), delegate transfers from hotels and airports on account, and multi-day show packages for teams working an exhibition. Angel station is close, but exhibitors with pop-up stands and sample cases book cars.

Two minutes down Rosebery Avenue: Sadler's Wells transfers.

Drop-off & Pickup Knowledge

Getting dropped off at Business Design Centre

The BDC fronts Upper Street with its main entrance set back at the top of the hill from Angel; drivers drop directly outside or on the Berners Road side, where the venue's loading access also sits — useful for exhibitors arriving with stand materials. Returns and end-of-show pickups are from the agreed side, clear of Upper Street's bus lanes.

Trade shows = exhibitor and delegate accounts; the stand-materials MPV run is the practical differentiator. Islington cluster with Sadler's Wells and Union Chapel per the CSV.

Why Choose Us

Why Get London Transfer for Business Design Centre

25 years TfL licensed. Get London Transfer has held a Transport for London Private Hire Operator licence continuously since 2000. We are not a rideshare aggregator — our drivers are individually contracted, and the same driver handles a multi-leg booking. 2026 UK Transport Awards Winner (Best SME Transport Provider — SME News), with a 4.9-star average across 2,150+ verified reviews.

Fixed prices, agreed at booking. No meter. No surge. No event-night uplift. No late-night surcharge. No "tolls extra", no "parking extra", no "congestion charge extra". The price at 1am after the encore is the price you agreed at lunchtime — which is exactly when on-demand apps around Business Design Centre are multiplying their fares.

Event-day route knowledge. Our drivers work London's event calendar daily: they know Business Design Centre's traffic management, the workable drop-off points, and the pickup positions that clear the area fastest afterwards. That knowledge is the product.

Pre-booked returns. We agree your pickup point and time before the event, position the driver in advance, and adjust by live message if plans change. You walk out to a waiting car instead of joining the crowd staring at a surging app.

The right vehicle. Mercedes E-Class executive (up to 4), MPV 6-seater, 8-seat Mercedes Vito, chauffeured S-Class VIP, and 16-seat Sprinter coach (VAT zero-rated for 10+ seats). Child seats, water and phone charging included.

FAQ

Business Design Centre transfers frequently asked questions

Can you carry our exhibition stand and samples?
Within reason, yes — the MPV and 8-seater take pop-up stands, sample cases and print boxes alongside the team, and we use the Berners Road side by the venue's loading access. For full stand builds you'll want a courier; for everything else, one car does it.
Do you do multi-day packages for a show?
Yes — a standing daily arrangement for the run of the show: same driver where possible, hotel–BDC each morning, return each evening, one fixed price per day on one invoice.
How much is a taxi to Business Design Centre?
Fixed-price transfers to Business Design Centre (Islington, N1) start at £50 depending on pickup point — see the airport fare table above for guide prices, from £75 from Heathrow. All prices are fixed at booking: fuel, tolls, congestion/ULEZ charges, waiting time and meet-and-greet included. No meter, no surge, no event-night uplift.
Can you pick us up afterwards for the return?
Yes — pre-booked returns are the most valuable part of the service at Business Design Centre. We agree an exact pickup point and time before your event, position the driver in advance, and adjust by live message if you leave earlier or later. The fixed price doesn't change.
Do you have vehicles for groups?
Yes — Mercedes E-Class (up to 4 passengers), MPV 6-seater, 8-seat Mercedes Vito, chauffeured S-Class VIP, and 16-seat Mercedes Sprinter coach (VAT zero-rated for 10+ seat passenger transport). One fixed price per vehicle — for groups of 4+ this is consistently cheaper per person than multiple app cars.
Are airport pickups met inside the terminal?
Yes — every airport pickup includes meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall with a name board, flight tracking from departure, and 60 minutes' free waiting after landing. Delays are handled automatically by dispatch; you never need to call.
