Travel Note
Uber and Gett (black cabs) are the primary private car apps serving London. It is possible to order Ubers/taxis to and from Syon House and all wedding weekend events. Do note it can take 10-20 minutes to secure an Uber or Gett driver. The venue is accessible by public transportation. We recommend the apps CityMapper or Google Maps for the most up-to-date directions at any point during your London stay.
