Airport transfers from Beckenham
Beckenham sits between Croydon and Bromley, so both Gatwick and London City Airport are within reach. Gatwick is a run south-west through Croydon and down the A23 and M23. London City is across the river to the north-east, usually via the Blackwall or Silvertown Tunnel. For a 6am flight, a pre-booked car is far easier than the first trains. Read our Croydon to London City Airport taxi page for that route.
Beckenham's stations and trams
Beckenham has more stations than most towns its size: Beckenham Junction, Beckenham Hill, Clock House, Kent House, New Beckenham and Elmers End. Trams run from Beckenham Junction and Elmers End into Croydon. That is handy for short trips, but with luggage, or late at night, a taxi from your door is simpler. For longer train journeys, we can take you straight to a London terminus. See our Croydon to London Bridge taxi page.
Local trips and days out
We take Beckenham customers to Croydon, to friends in neighbouring West Wickham and Bromley, and to appointments around the area. Beckenham Place Park is popular for walks, and we can drop you off and collect you later.
Into Croydon from Beckenham
Beckenham and Croydon are closely linked by road and tram, and many of our Beckenham bookings are short trips into Croydon town centre, East Croydon station or the shops on the Purley Way. A taxi is particularly handy late at night, after the last trams, or when you have heavy shopping. We also run to Croydon University Hospital and to friends in Addiscombe and Shirley.
Groups and bigger cars
For family holidays and group trips, a 7 seater taxi keeps everyone and the luggage together. Bringing the dog? Ask for our pet friendly taxi.
