Why book a Waterloo Station taxi from Chessington?
South Western Railway runs a direct service from Chessington South and Chessington North to Waterloo, via Tolworth, Malden Manor and Wimbledon. So why book a car? Because the branch line is not always the easy option. Our customers book a Waterloo Station taxi when:
- they are catching an early long-distance train from Waterloo before the branch line service starts
- they have heavy luggage, a pushchair or limited mobility
- there are weekend engineering works or the line is disrupted
- they are coming home after the last train to Chessington South has left
The drive is about 13 miles, usually up the A3 through Wandsworth and along to Waterloo. It typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.
Drive-in taxis at Waterloo
Our drive-in taxi service sets you down as close to the main entrance as current access allows, and the driver unloads your luggage. For pickups, we agree a meeting point with you in advance so you are not searching the concourse for your car. Waterloo is within the Congestion Charge zone; ask us how it affects your fare when booking.
Comfortable rides in a Waterloo Station cab at a cheap price
A cheap Waterloo cab with a fixed fare beats a crowded rail replacement bus. A saloon suits most journeys. If you are a group returning from a show or a night out, share a 6 seater or 7 seater taxi and split the fare.

Around Waterloo
Waterloo is surrounded by some of London's best-known attractions: the London Eye, the Southbank Centre, the National Theatre, the Old Vic and the BFI. St Thomas' Hospital sits just along the river. Many of our Waterloo journeys are for evenings out, hospital visits or events, rather than trains.
If you are catching a South Western Railway train to Portsmouth, Southampton or the Dorset coast, Waterloo is your starting point. When the Chessington branch line is closed for engineering works, our car is often faster and easier than the replacement bus.
Late-night journeys from Waterloo
After a show on the South Bank or a late meeting, the last train to Chessington South can leave earlier than you expect, and Sunday services are less frequent. If there is any chance you will miss it, book a car in advance and give us a rough time. We will confirm the pickup point by phone, so you can walk straight from the concourse to the car.
