Have added uk.transport.london where there are at least two cab drivers who
can give you an idea of the fare.

Don't know the taxi fare, but your options are basically public
transport or taxi - I'm not aware of any US-style shuttles - it was
tried but was a failure, probably because of London's traffic.

Assuming you don't have lots of luggage I would abandon the "don't
want to deal with buses, lightrails or trains", take the DLR to
Canning Town then the Jubilee Line to Swiss Cottage which is the
nearest Tube station (it's nowhere near Regent's Park station). *It's
not overly complicated (though it will require one change - just a
quick walk downstairs) and it'll cost four quid each (or less with an
Oyster card if you have one).

To reply put my first name before the at.

Off a transatlantic journey? If so, £40 for a taxi seems like fair
value, compared to a nerve-frazzling encounter with a foreign public
transport system. Depends on budget and age of traveller,
obviously.
