London Bridge is one of those stations that never really has a quiet moment. Commuters, tourists heading for the Shard or Borough Market, people catching trains south of the river - it all funnels through the same few exits. Try and grab a cab there at the wrong time and you'll be standing around a lot longer than you planned. Book ahead with us, and that's one less thing to worry about.
Getting a taxi to London Bridge Station
The station itself is fine; it's the area around it that catches people out. Tooley Street and the roads down towards Borough High Street get busy most of the day, and if there's an event on near the Shard or down at Hays Galleria, it backs up further. A pre-booked car factors that in. One you've just flagged down usually hasn't, and you end up watching the meter run while it sits in traffic it didn't need to be in.
Booking's straightforward, where you need picking up, roughly what time your train goes, and how many of you there are. If you're carrying more than a couple of bags, mention it when you call; we'll send something with the boot space to actually fit it rather than you finding out otherwise on the day.
Airport transfers from London Bridge
We cover transfers between London Bridge and Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and City. A lot of people heading to Gatwick from round here end up doing the train-then-taxi combination when a car door to door would've been simpler and, more often than not, about the same price once you add it all up. Tell us your flight time for a departure, and we work the pickup back from that. If you're landing, give us the flight number, and we'll track it, so a delay through customs doesn't leave you stranded at arrivals with no car there.
London Bridge Station transfers
Hailing a cab outside London Bridge is fine most of the time, to be honest, especially away from rush hour. It's the mornings, early evenings, and anything near Borough Market or London Bridge itself when tourist numbers are high that make booking ahead worth doing.
The station sits close enough to the Shard, Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, and Tower Bridge that plenty of our bookings here turn into more than a straight station run - someone finishing up sightseeing before heading to a train, or a group moving on somewhere else in London after arriving. For bigger groups, a minicab or minibus tends to work out easier than everyone grabbing separate cabs and hoping they all land at the same spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth booking ahead, or can I just get a cab there?
Depends on the time. Quiet periods, you'll probably be fine grabbing one. Rush hour, weekends, or anything near Borough Market or the Shard, booking ahead saves you the wait.
Do you actually track flights for airport pickups?
Yes. If a flight lands late, the pickup time shifts with it rather than staying fixed to the original schedule.
Can you send something bigger for a group?
Yes, minicabs and minibuses are both available. Just tell us numbers and luggage when you book so the right vehicle turns up first time.
