Option 2: Uber is estimating around £40 for a ride at that time considering very light traffic, and time estimate would be 35-60 minutes (add on another 10 minutes to meet the driver).

I know there are other options (i.e. Tube). But for the 2 listed above, what would be the better method?
Uh, option 2?
