Norbiton to Charing Cross Taxi

Heads Up, Charing Cross Hospital Isn’t at Charing Cross

Here’s a mix-up we hear a lot. Charing Cross Hospital isn’t near Charing Cross station at all. It’s in Hammersmith, on Fulham Palace Road, several miles west. If your appointment letter says Charing Cross Hospital, book a taxi to Fulham Palace Road, not the Strand. The good news is that it’s closer to Norbiton, often 25 to 35 minutes by car through Putney. Give us the full address when you book, and we’ll take you to the right entrance.

Station Cars for Whitehall and Government Meetings

Charing Cross sits at the top of Whitehall, so it’s the natural drop-off for meetings at government departments, Parliament and the offices around Northumberland Avenue. Security checks at these buildings take time, and nobody wants to arrive out of breath. Our station cars run on fixed fares with card payment, and an executive car is available if you’d like a smarter arrival. Tell us the building and your meeting time, and we’ll get you there with time to spare.

Minicabs and Cabs to Somerset House and the Strand

Further along the Strand, Somerset House hosts exhibitions, concerts and its much-loved winter ice rink, and King’s College London fills the pavements with students. Our minicabs and station cabs drop you right by the entrance, which matters on a cold December evening with skates and children in tow. Book your ride home for the end of your session, and you’ll skip the packed Strand buses entirely.

Trains from Charing Cross

Charing Cross is the terminus for Southeastern services to Kent and south-east London. Trains run to Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and to Dartford, Gravesend and the Medway towns, many calling at Waterloo East and London Bridge on the way.

It is a compact station on the Strand. Its forecourt is home to the Eleanor Cross, a Victorian replica of the medieval monument that gave the area its name. The Bakerloo, Northern and District lines connect via Charing Cross and nearby Embankment Underground stations.

The heart of the West End

For many of our customers, Charing Cross is not about trains at all. It is the natural drop-off point for Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, Covent Garden and the theatres of the Strand and St Martin's Lane. Our car is a simple way to get there and back for a matinee or evening show, without worrying about the last train to Norbiton.

The drive from Kingston

The usual route runs up the A3 through Wandsworth, crosses the river at Vauxhall or Battersea, and follows the Embankment to Charing Cross. The drive is typically 45 minutes to an hour. Traffic around Trafalgar Square and the Strand moves slowly on weekday evenings and at weekends, so book with time to spare before a show.

Evenings out

A popular pattern is dinner in Covent Garden, a show, and then a car home. Book your return time in advance, and your driver will meet you at an agreed point near the station. For a group heading out together, our 6 seater taxi or 7 seater taxi means nobody has to drive.

Collection from Charing Cross

Coming back from Kent? Give us your train time and your driver will meet you near the station. If trains are disrupted, call us. We are open 24 hours a day.

Other stations

Waterloo is just across Hungerford Bridge, if you need SWR trains towards Kingston or the south coast. Victoria station is the other main terminus for Kent and Sussex trains. We also collect for Charing Cross from Carshalton and across Sutton.

Embankment and the river

Just below Charing Cross, on the Victoria Embankment, are the riverboat piers and the gardens along the Thames. It is a good drop-off point for river cruises and Thames Clippers services. Tell us the pier name when booking, and we will drop you as close as the road allows.
