Partnership between Gett and the Royal Albert Hall strengthens urban mobility.

Gett is the new preferred taxi partner of the Royal Albert Hall in London. As the company announced on March 12, the collaboration is intended to provide concert and event attendees with a reliable and prompt arrival and departure with licensed Black Cabs. The 154-year-old venue hosts more than 400 events annually, according to its own statements, and attracts nearly two million visitors.

Improved connectivity for event attendees

According to the provider, the platform connects passengers with drivers who have completed the London Knowledge exam, "The Knowledge." In the city centre, pickup is possible in less than four minutes. The aim of the collaboration is to ensure a reliable, predictable transportation option, especially for evening events or when there is time pressure before the start of an event.

Sustainability Goals in Focus

Both partners point to shared climate goals. According to Gett, more than 75 percent of London's Black Cab fleet are electric. Each ride is made climate-neutral by offsetting CO₂ emissions through the partner EcoAct. In addition, two pence per ride are donated to the British organization Trees for Cities. The company aims to offer fully emission-free trips by 2027.

The Royal Albert Hall says it has reduced its CO₂ emissions by 45 percent since 2016. By 2040, net zero should be achieved. This target is in line with the requirements of Westminster City Council. In 2023 the hall started a five-year climate strategy.

Green Rider and Reduced Transport Movements

Part of the measures is a so-called "Green Rider," which defines requirements for external organisers and artists. This includes, among other things, the use of in-house sound and lighting technology to avoid additional lorry trips. Additionally, reusable containers should be used and plant-based meal options considered.
