King's Cross Station taxi from KT9
King's Cross is the gateway to the East Coast Main Line, with LNER trains to Peterborough, York, Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh, plus Great Northern services into Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. From Chessington there is no direct train: you would travel to Waterloo and then take the Northern line, which is hard work with a large case.
A car takes around 60 to 80 minutes, usually up the A3 to Wandsworth, across the river and north through the West End, finishing on the Euston Road side of the station. Long-distance trains leave on time and do not wait, so we plan your pickup with a safety margin.
Drive-in taxis at King's Cross
Our drive-in taxi service means being set down as close to the station entrance as the road layout allows, rather than at a car park or a side street. The driver will help with your bags at both ends. If you are meeting someone off a train, the driver can come onto the concourse at an agreed point so you do not need to walk far with luggage.
King's Cross or St Pancras?
St Pancras International is right next door, serving Eurostar to Paris and Brussels, Thameslink, East Midlands Railway and Southeastern high-speed trains. Tell us which station you are travelling from, and for Eurostar, allow extra time for check-in and passport control.
Comfortable rides in a King's Cross Station cab at a cheap price
A cheap King's Cross cab does not have to be uncomfortable. Our fixed fares are agreed before you travel, so you know the cost up front. A saloon suits one to four passengers, while groups heading north for a weekend can share a 6 seater or a 7 seater taxi and split one fare between them.
Cabs in King's Cross for corporate accounts
Businesses with staff travelling to Leeds, York, Newcastle or Edinburgh can use a corporate account for regular King's Cross cabs. Approved staff book their own cars and the journeys are billed together. We can also meet visiting colleagues from the train and bring them to offices in Chessington, Surbiton or Kingston.

Around King's Cross
The area around King's Cross has changed dramatically, with Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard and new offices and restaurants north of the station. If you are visiting the area rather than catching a train, tell us the exact address and we will set you down there instead.
Travelling to Scotland or the north east is often a long day. Leave plenty of time to reach the station, especially for morning trains, when traffic on the A3 and through central London can be heavy. Our pickup times build in a margin so you are not rushing for the platform.
Coming home: King's Cross Station to Chessington
After hours on a train, the last thing you want is a crowded Tube and a change at Waterloo. Our cab from King's Cross takes you straight to Hook, Tolworth, Surbiton or anywhere in KT9. If your train is delayed, let us know and the pickup time will be moved.
