A few minutes from our door

Our office on Tolworth Park Road is about a mile and a half from the centre of Surbiton, up the Ewell Road. That short distance is why Surbiton makes up such a large share of our bookings: when you call, the car usually isn't coming from far away.

We cover every part of Surbiton, from the Victorian streets around Surbiton Hill and the flats near the station to the quieter roads towards Berrylands and Long Ditton, across both the KT5 and KT6 postcodes.

The station run

Surbiton station has some of the fastest commuter trains in south-west London, with non-stop services reaching Waterloo in under twenty minutes. For most people that makes the train the obvious choice into town. Where we come in is the bit either side of it: the early start with a suitcase, the rainy evening when the walk home from the station feels a lot longer, or the late train that gets in after the buses have thinned out.

If you want a regular pickup from the station on certain days, call us and we'll set it up as a repeat booking, so you don't have to book it each time.

Evenings out in Surbiton

Victoria Road, Claremont Road and the streets around them are full of restaurants, bars and cafés, and Queen's Promenade gives you the Thames riverside all the way to Kingston. If you're heading out for dinner, it's worth pre-booking your ride home for the time you expect to leave; on Friday and Saturday nights that's the easiest way to avoid waiting around.

We also drive to and from The Corner House arts centre for classes, exhibitions and performances.

Flying from Surbiton

Heathrow is the airport most of our Surbiton passengers use, and the drive is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. Gatwick is also well within reach, usually under an hour. Book with your flight number and we'll meet you in arrivals on the way back, so you're not dragging bags onto a train after a long flight. You can read more on our Heathrow and Gatwick pages.

Other things Surbiton books us for

Parents use our school run service for journeys to schools across the borough. Others book a car with a driver by the hour for errands or a hospital appointment at Kingston, where the driver waits and brings you home. If your dog needs to get to the vet, ask for a pet-friendly taxi.

Surbiton taxi questions

How long does a taxi take to reach Surbiton?

Usually 5 to 10 minutes from our base in Tolworth. At busy times, such as Friday evenings or first thing in the morning, booking ahead is the best way to guarantee your time.

Can you pick me up from Surbiton station after a late train?

Yes. We run 24 hours a day. Tell us your train time and we'll have a car waiting.

Is it quicker to get a train or a taxi from Surbiton to London?

For central London, the fast train from Surbiton is usually quicker. A car makes more sense with luggage, with children, late at night, or when you're going somewhere the train doesn't reach easily.
