Taxis in Watford
Watford pick-ups from the Junction, the hospital and the town centre, with Heathrow around 23 minutes on clear roads at a fixed price.
We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
Big town, plenty of trips
Watford is one of Hertfordshire's largest towns, with a big shopping centre, the open spaces of Cassiobury Park and Vicarage Road, home of Watford FC. Watford Junction has fast trains to Euston, and Watford General Hospital stands right next to the football ground. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour at Leavesden is a short drive north. We collect across the town, from the Junction and from the hospital.
Heathrow is the nearest major airport, about 23 minutes from Watford on clear roads. Luton Airport is roughly 21 minutes away, Stansted around 57 and Gatwick about 59. Whichever you use, we track the landing time, so a late flight does not cost you anything extra.
Hospital appointments at Watford General and match days at Vicarage Road keep us busy, alongside visits to the studio tour. When you need central London by road, King's Cross is about 32 minutes on clear roads.
