The village across the bridge
Hampton Wick feels like a separate village, even though Kingston is just over the water. Its High Street has a handful of pubs, cafés and shops, and the streets behind it are full of Victorian terraces and riverside flats.
Because it sits at the end of Kingston Bridge, traffic heading in and out of Kingston passes right through. Our drivers know the timings and the quieter roads, and they will call you when they pull up.
Hampton Wick station cab
Hampton Wick station is on the Kingston loop line, one stop from Kingston itself, with trains towards Waterloo via Twickenham and Richmond. We meet trains here, and a booked car is a good idea for late arrivals or anyone with bags.
Bushy Park on the doorstep
The Hampton Wick Gate opens into Bushy Park, with its deer, ponds and the long Chestnut Avenue running to Hampton Court. It is a favourite with families, runners and dog walkers. We drop off and collect at the park gates, and the pet friendly taxi is there for trips with the dog.
Taxi over Kingston Bridge
Plenty of Hampton Wick journeys simply cross the bridge into Kingston. Shopping, the station, appointments at Kingston Hospital or a night out on the riverside. It is a short ride with a short, fixed fare.
Hampton Court Road and the palace
Hampton Court Road runs west along the edge of Bushy Park towards Hampton Court Palace. The palace hosts a flower show, concerts and events through the year, and the roads get busy. A pre-booked taxi drops you close to the entrance and collects you after, which is far easier than finding a parking space.

A quick run to Kingston station
