Richmond Taxi
A2B Radio Cars provides licensed taxis, minicabs, and minibuses across Richmond (TW9), available 24 hours a day on 020 8569 4040. There's a small rank outside Richmond station at busy times, but it empties quickly, so most journeys are still pre-booked. Fares are fixed and confirmed before you travel. Heathrow Airport is approximately 20 to 25 minutes away by road.

Is there a taxi rank in Richmond?
There's a small rank at Richmond station, but it's often empty or has a queue during the evening rush and weekend nights, since Richmond's town centre draws heavy footfall for its restaurants, riverside pubs, and Richmond Theatre. Most residents pre-book rather than rely on catching a cab there at the right moment.
Tell us your specific pickup point when you call: Richmond Green, the streets around Richmond Bridge, near Richmond Park's gates, or a residential road further out. The town centre gets tight on weekend afternoons and match or event evenings, and our drivers route around it rather than sit in it.
How do I book a taxi or minicab in Richmond?
Three steps. Call 020 8569 4040 or book online with your pickup point and destination. We confirm a fixed price before the car is dispatched- no meter, no surge pricing. You track the driver's approach and pay by cash, card in the app, or on account if you book regularly.
Every driver working Richmond for us holds a current TfL Public Carriage Office licence and has passed an enhanced DBS check, checked before assignment, not just at sign-up.
Vehicles available for Richmond pickups:
| Vehicle | Best for |
|---|---|

| Estate | Extra luggage or shopping |
| MPV | Families or small groups with cases |
| Minibus | Larger groups, see below |
When do people in Richmond book a minibus instead of a car?
Most often for wedding parties using one of Richmond's riverside venues, for group visits to Richmond Park, for staff transport between local offices, and for airport departures where luggage takes up as much room as passengers. One minibus keeps a group of six to eight together in a single booking rather than splitting them across separate cars arriving at different times. Give us numbers and luggage when you call and we'll send a vehicle sized to the actual job.
Do you offer a school run taxi service in Richmond?
Yes. Richmond has a good number of primary and secondary schools within a short drive of each other, including King's House School and Darell Primary, and plenty of parents book us for the regular run rather than managing it themselves every day, especially on mornings when the town centre or the roads round Richmond Park are backed up.
We set up recurring school run bookings with the same driver where possible, so it's a familiar face collecting your child rather than someone different each day. This works for a single child, a shared run split between a couple of families, or an after-school activity run where the pickup time shifts day to day. Call to set one up and we'll build it around your actual week.
How long does a taxi from Richmond take to each London airport?
| Airport | Approximate drive time from Richmond |
|---|---|
| Heathrow | 20 to 25 minutes |
| London City | 50 to 65 minutes |
| Gatwick | 60 to 75 minutes |
| Luton | 65 to 80 minutes |
| Stansted | 75 to 90 minutes |
Times vary with traffic and time of day, and all are estimates, not quotes. For outbound flights, give us your departure time and we set the pickup around it. For arrivals, give us the flight number and we track it, so a delayed landing doesn't leave you waiting at the barrier for a car that hasn't been told.

Not reliably; the small rank there empties quickly at busy times, which is why most people pre-book instead.
