Tolworth Broadway and Tolworth Tower
Tolworth Broadway is the local shopping parade, with the landmark Tolworth Tower rising above it. It is a busy spot, with buses, deliveries and traffic heading for the A3 all squeezing through.
Our drivers use the side roads and safe stopping places near the Broadway, and they call you on arrival so you are not standing on a busy pavement waiting. If you have bags of shopping, ask the driver to stop as close as the road allows.
Tolworth station cab
Tolworth station is on the Chessington branch line, with South Western Railway trains towards Waterloo. It is a short walk from the Broadway. We meet trains here, which is particularly useful late in the evening or when you have luggage.
Right next to the A3
The A3 Kingston bypass runs through Tolworth, with the roundabout at its heart. That makes Tolworth a superb starting point for longer journeys, because you are on the main road out of London within a minute.
It also means traffic. At rush hour the roundabout and the slip roads back up. Our drivers know the timings and the back routes along Ewell Road, Kingston Road and Red Lion Road. With a fixed fare, a slow roundabout never adds to your price.
Longer journeys from Tolworth
Because the A3 heads south towards the M25, Tolworth is ideal for a minicab from Kingston to Gatwick Airport. The Luton Airport taxi from Kingston also uses the M25 and collects here. For trains, our Kingston to Euston cab heads north up the A3.
Local trips around KT5 and KT6
Many of our Tolworth journeys stay local. Shopping in Kingston, appointments at Kingston Hospital, trips to the Hook and Chessington side, and school runs to schools across the area. Our school run taxi books full terms in advance, with child seats on request.
