Airport runs from Richmond
Richmond is a popular starting point for airport trips. Heathrow is usually 25 to 40 minutes away, depending on traffic through Isleworth and Hounslow or around the A316. Gatwick is typically 50 to 70 minutes via the M3 and M25 or through Kingston. We track flights on return journeys and offer meet and greet in arrivals. See our Heathrow taxi and Gatwick taxi pages for more detail.
Richmond town centre
Richmond's centre is busy, with a one-way system, bus lanes and narrow streets around the Green. Richmond station, served by the District line, the Overground and South Western Railway, is at the heart of it. If you are being collected from the station or the shops, we will agree a clear pickup point with you, so the driver can stop safely.
Richmond Hill and Richmond Park
The view from the top of Richmond Hill over the Thames is famous and protected by law, and the hill is lined with hotels and grand houses. Beyond it is Richmond Park, London's largest royal park, known for its deer. If you are going for a walk in the park, we can drop you at one of the gates and collect you later.
Theatre, riverside and evenings out
Richmond Theatre on the Little Green puts on touring shows and pantomimes, and the riverside by Richmond Bridge is lined with pubs and restaurants. A car home after an evening out saves the wait for a night bus. Book your return ride in advance and we will be there.
Hotels and visitors
Richmond has several hotels, and many visitors stay here for business or holidays, or for events at Twickenham Stadium. Our hotel transfer taxi takes guests from the airport to their hotel door. Groups can travel together in our 7 seater taxi.
Stations from Richmond
Although Richmond has good rail links, some journeys are easier by car, especially with heavy bags. We run to Victoria, King's Cross and all the major London stations.
Nearby areas
Richmond is across the river from St Margarets and close to Isleworth. See our full list of areas we cover.
Kew and Kew Gardens
Kew, just north of Richmond, is home to the Royal Botanic Gardens. Visitors often combine Kew and Richmond in a day. We can take you between the two, or collect you from the main gate at Kew and take you home.
Trips to Kingston and beyond
Richmond's position on the A316 and A307 makes it a good starting point for trips south to Kingston and beyond. We take Richmond residents to Kingston for shopping and Kingston Hospital for appointments.
Getting to Richmond from further afield
Richmond is a popular place to visit, and many of our customers are meeting friends, going to the theatre or visiting Kew Gardens. If you are coming from Heathrow, a direct car is often quicker and easier than the train and Tube, especially with bags. If you are staying in a hotel in Twickenham or Hounslow, we can take you to Richmond for the day and collect you later.
We also pick up from Richmond station for passengers arriving by train or on the District line. If you need a taxi back to Twickenham, Whitton or Teddington after an evening out, book ahead on busy nights, particularly Fridays and Saturdays, when demand for cars is highest.
Parking in Richmond
Richmond town centre has limited parking and most on-street spaces are controlled. A taxi means you do not need to find a space, pay for a car park or watch the clock. It is especially useful for evenings at the theatre, dinners by the river or visits to friends on Richmond Hill, where parking is tight. Book a return trip with us and your driver will be waiting at the agreed time, or call us when you are ready and we will do our best to get a car to you quickly.
