Local knowledge

Around Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace sits on one of the highest points in London, where several boroughs meet.

Crystal Palace Park

The dinosaur sculptures, the National Sports Centre and summer concerts.

The Triangle

Westow Hill, Church Road and Westow Street, packed with independent cafés and restaurants.

Crystal Palace station

London Overground and Southern trains, at the bottom of the park.

The transmitter

The tall mast on the ridge, visible across south London.

Taxis for events in Crystal Palace Park

Crystal Palace Park hosts concerts, sports events at the National Sports Centre and busy summer weekends. Roads around the park and the Triangle get crowded before and after big events. If you're going to one, book a car in advance and agree a pickup point a short walk away. That's usually quicker than waiting at the main gates. For a group of friends, our 7 seater taxi gets everyone home together.

Football fans heading to Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace FC play at Selhurst Park, a short drive south of Crystal Palace itself. We can take you to the game and collect you afterwards. See our Selhurst taxi page for match-day tips.

Airport transfers from the hill

From Crystal Palace, Gatwick is a run south through Croydon to the M23. Heathrow is further, across south-west London. The roads down from the hill can be slow at peak times, so we build that into your pickup time. Our Croydon to Gatwick taxi page covers the terminals and drop-off.

Station runs from the hill

Crystal Palace station sits at the bottom of the park, a steep walk from the Triangle and the streets of Upper Norwood. Gipsy Hill and Penge West stations are nearby too. With luggage, a taxi from your door to the station, or straight into a London terminus, saves the climb. Our Croydon to London Bridge taxi page covers one of the quickest central drops, and we also take you to Victoria for coaches and Gatwick Express connections.

Evenings at the Triangle

The Triangle is one of south London's best spots for food and drink. Book a car home at the end of the evening, or call when you're ready. We also cover neighbouring South Norwood and Dulwich.
