Charing Cross Station taxi from Chessington
Charing Cross is the terminus for Southeastern trains to Kent, including Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings. Its location matters just as much as its trains: it sits on the Strand, beside Trafalgar Square, with Covent Garden, the National Gallery and the theatres of the West End all a short walk away.
From Chessington, the drive is around 14 miles, usually via the A3, Wandsworth and Vauxhall, then along the Embankment. A typical journey takes 50 to 65 minutes. Charing Cross is inside the Congestion Charge zone; ask us how it affects your fare when booking.
Drive-in taxis at Charing Cross
Our drive-in taxi service sets you down as close to the station forecourt on the Strand as traffic allows, which is far easier than walking from a car park with luggage. For theatre trips, tell us the venue and the driver can drop you at its door instead.
Comfortable rides in a Charing Cross Station cab at a cheap price
An evening in the West End is expensive enough. Our Charing Cross cabs run on fixed fares, so the trip home costs the same whether the show runs late or not. A group of friends can share a 6 seater or 7 seater taxi and split one fare, often for less than train tickets plus a late taxi from Chessington South.
