THE TRANSFER BRIEF | Issue 05 | October 2026 | from My London Transfer
October gives London plenty to dress up for before Halloween even arrives. Film screenings, art fairs and evenings out can turn a short visit into a very full diary. A little planning with your London October event transfers keeps the journey from eating into the event you came for.
What Is Happening This October?
The BFI London Film Festival runs from 7 to 18 October, while Frieze London and Frieze Masters take place in Regent’s Park from 14 to 18 October. That gives film fans and art lovers five overlapping days to work with. If you are fitting both into a visit, check the exact venue and your ticket’s entry time before arranging the car. A festival name is not a pickup address.
Can You Go Straight From the Airport to the Event?
You can plan it, but leave room for the airport to have other ideas. Passport control and baggage collection sit between landing and leaving the terminal. Check the venue’s bag policy before arriving with a suitcase, and allow for a hotel stop if needed. Share your flight number when booking London October event transfers, then explain where you need to be and when. A screening will not wait while you check in.
What If You Are Moving Clients or a Group?
Start with one itinerary everyone can see. Include the airport, hotel, event entrance and return pickup, with a named contact for each journey. Confirm passenger numbers and luggage before choosing the vehicle. For the evening collection, leave enough time for everyone to get out of the venue and reach the meeting point. Booking the car for the exact minute the screening ends is asking for a hurried goodbye.
Disruption Watch
The festival and fairs overlap from 14 to 18 October. Allow for queues and busy pickup areas around your venue, and check its current access instructions before travelling. Review TfL and National Rail updates if part of your journey is by train. A booked car still needs a legal place to stop and time to get there.
Date for the Diary
Halloween falls on Saturday 31 October, giving the month one more reason for an evening out. The next issue looks at keeping the group together and getting home without the pavement-side scramble.
The Takeaway
Book around the ticket time, check the entrance and make the journey home part of the plan. Ask My London Transfer for a fixed quote for your London October event transfers, with each stop agreed in advance. Spend your evening discussing the film or the art, rather than where the car has gone.
