Taxi to and from Surbiton station
Surbiton station is one of the busiest on the South Western line, with fast trains to Waterloo in under 20 minutes. That makes it a commuter magnet, and the forecourt gets crowded at rush hour.
We run regular taxi pickups at Surbiton station for commuters who missed the bus, travellers with luggage and anyone arriving late at night. Tell us your train time and the driver will be waiting at the front, ready to drive you home.
Victoria Road, Claremont Road and Maple Road
Surbiton's centre is compact. Victoria Road runs from the station towards the shops, Claremont Road holds the main post-war offices and Maple Road has the independent cafés, delis and restaurants that give the area its village feel.
Stopping can be tight on all three at busy times. Our drivers know the side streets and loading bays where they can wait without causing trouble. Give us the restaurant or shop name and they will find the nearest safe spot.
Riverside pickups along Queen's Promenade
Queen's Promenade runs beside the Thames between Surbiton and Kingston, with views across to Hampton Court Park. It is a lovely walk, but if you have strolled one way, you might want a car back. We collect from Portsmouth Road at the riverside and take you home or on to wherever you are going next.
A cab to Kingston from Surbiton
Kingston town centre is ten minutes away by car, and many Surbiton residents book us for shopping at the Bentall Centre, appointments at Kingston Hospital or a night out in the town. A fixed fare means a short hop costs the same however busy the relief road is.
