Colliers Wood today
Colliers Wood sits on the A24 between Tooting and South Wimbledon. It is a busy spot, with the Northern line station on the High Street, the retail parks and supermarkets near the Tandem Centre, and the landmark Colliers Wood Tower, converted from offices into flats. Behind the main road are quieter residential streets running down to the River Wandle.
From Norbiton we drive along Kingston Road and Merton High Street, typically in 20 to 30 minutes. We pick up everywhere in the area, including the streets off Christchurch Road, Baltic Close, the new developments by the river and the roads towards Phipps Bridge.
Merton Abbey Mills and the Wandle
Merton Abbey Mills, beside the Wandle, is a former textile works where William Morris once had workshops. Today it is home to craft stalls, cafes and a riverside pub. The Wandle Trail runs through the area and makes a pleasant walk. We are happy to drop you at one end of the trail and collect you at the other.
Hospital journeys
St George's Hospital in Tooting is only a short drive away, and many Colliers Wood residents work there or visit patients. We take people to outpatient appointments and collect them after late shifts. Because we are open 24 hours, a 2am pick-up after a night shift is no problem.
