|---|---|---|---|
| Hackney (E8) | Dalston (E8) | £8 (saloon) | 10–15 mins |
| Hackney (E8) | Stoke Newington (N16) | £10 (saloon) | 12–18 mins |

Dalston Late-Night Tip: For late-night pickups from Dalston Kingsland or Dalston Junction, pre-book your return before you go out. Dalston is busy on weekend nights and same-day post-midnight availability can be limited. Booking earlier locks in your fixed fare and guarantees a licensed driver — no surge pricing, whatever the hour.
