Addiscombe to East Croydon station
East Croydon is close to Addiscombe, but with a suitcase, a pushchair or in the rain, even a short walk is a pain. We do lots of short runs to the station for early trains, and collections after late ones. Since the old Addiscombe railway station closed in the 1990s, the tram and East Croydon have been the main rail links, and a taxi fills the gaps late at night.
Airport transfers from Addiscombe
Being on the east side of Croydon gives Addiscombe a slight head start towards London City Airport, which is across the river in the Royal Docks. See our Croydon to London City Airport taxi page. Gatwick is a straight run south via the A23. For return trips, we track your flight and wait in arrivals.
Around the borough
Addiscombe customers often book us for trips to Croydon University Hospital in Thornton Heath, to the shops on the Purley Way, or to visit family in Shirley and South Norwood. Each fare is agreed when you book.
Taking the tram, then a taxi
The tram network is good for getting into the town centre, but it does not go everywhere. If your journey involves a long walk at the other end, a door-to-door taxi can save time.
Hotel stays and visitors
If you have visitors staying at a hotel near East Croydon, we can collect them and bring them to your home in Addiscombe. Our hotel transfer taxi page explains how it works. For a bigger family group, try the 7 seater taxi.

Booking tips for Addiscombe
A few practical things that help journeys from Addiscombe go smoothly.
Tell us the nearest tram stop
If you are being collected from a tram stop rather than a house, tell us which one: Addiscombe, Blackhorse Lane, Lebanon Road or Sandilands. The driver will wait somewhere safe nearby.
Early trains from East Croydon
For an early train, book the night before. Even though the station is close, we like to have the driver lined up in advance for very early starts.
Residential streets
Some Addiscombe streets are narrow with parked cars on both sides. Our drivers will stop as close to your door as they safely can, and help with luggage.
Larger groups
For family visits and celebrations, a 6 seater MPV or a 7/8 seater saves booking two cars. Mention the number of people and bags when you book.
