Norbiton to Waterloo Taxi

Taxi to Waterloo When Norbiton Trains Aren’t Running

The Kingston loop sometimes closes for engineering works at weekends, and a rail replacement bus can turn a 30-minute trip into a long afternoon. If you need to reach Waterloo for a connection, an event or a shift, our taxi is the reliable backup. Check South Western Railway’s planned works before you travel. If Norbiton station is shut, call us and we’ll quote a fixed fare straight to Waterloo, with no buses and no extra changes.

Minicabs to Waterloo Before the First Train

The first train from Norbiton doesn’t run until early morning, which is no help if you need to be at Waterloo at 5am for a coach, a connection or an early shift. Our minicabs run all night. Book a pickup at any hour, and your driver will have you on the South Bank before most of London is awake. It’s popular with hospitality and theatre staff, travellers catching dawn trains to the coast and anyone with an early start in the City.

Station Cabs to St Thomas’ and Evelina London Children’s Hospital

St Thomas’ Hospital sits on the south bank opposite the Houses of Parliament, a short drive from Waterloo, and Evelina London Children’s Hospital shares the same site. Families from Norbiton travel there for specialist care every week. Our station cabs and cars go straight to the hospital entrance rather than the station, so there’s no walk along Westminster Bridge Road with a poor child. Mention the department when you book, and we’ll get you as close as the roads allow.

Waterloo and Kingston

Waterloo is the busiest railway station in the UK by passenger numbers, and it is the one Norbiton residents know best. South Western Railway trains on the Kingston loop run between Waterloo and Norbiton, and SWR also runs to Wimbledon, Surbiton, Guildford, Woking, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Exeter. The Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo and Waterloo & City lines connect underneath.

So why take a taxi? Usually it is about luggage, timing or the last train. If you are heading off on a long SWR journey with heavy cases, or you have missed the last train home after an evening on the South Bank, a car is the easy answer.

Late nights on the South Bank

Waterloo is surrounded by some of London's best evening venues: the National Theatre, the Southbank Centre, the Old Vic, the BFI and the London Eye. Book your return in advance, and your driver will meet you near the station when the show finishes. We work 24 hours a day, so there is no rush to catch a train.

The drive

The usual route follows the A3 north through Roehampton and Wandsworth, then past Vauxhall into Lambeth. The journey is typically 40 to 55 minutes, and quicker late at night. Waterloo's roads have taxi and drop-off areas around the station. Your driver will use the most convenient one for the entrance you need.

Trips to the coast

Travelling to Portsmouth for the Isle of Wight ferry, or to Southampton for a cruise? Many SWR trains from Waterloo also stop at Surbiton or Wimbledon, so it is worth checking. We can take you to Wimbledon instead to save time. For cruises, we can also quote to drive you all the way to the port.

Collection from Waterloo

Coming home after a trip away, or a disrupted evening when trains to Kingston are cancelled? Call us. We are open around the clock and can collect you from Waterloo and take you home.
