Taxis in Northaw
A quiet village by the Great Wood with no station of its own, so we handle the trains, the airports and the late nights at a set price.
We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
Woodland village, easy reach
Northaw is a small village between Potters Bar and Cuffley, ringed by fields and old woodland. Northaw Great Wood, a country park crossed by walking trails, is right on the doorstep, while the church, the green and the village pub give the place a traditional feel. With no railway line through the village, residents usually drive to Cuffley or Potters Bar for trains, and the M25 is close for anything further.
Stansted is about 45 minutes from Northaw on clear roads, and Heathrow, despite sounding further, is quicker at around 34. Luton Airport takes about 27 minutes. Gatwick, south of London, is close to 1h 09m. Should your homeward flight be held up, the driver simply waits, and the agreed price does not budge.
Without a regular bus, Northaw households lean on us for station drops at Cuffley and Potters Bar. Walkers sometimes book a ride back from the Great Wood car park, and a direct run to King's Cross is about 35 minutes on clear roads.
