Watton-at-Stone Taxis
From the village high street or the Hertford loop station, with Stansted roughly 42 minutes on clear roads and the fare settled before you leave.
We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
Between Hertford and Stevenage
Watton-at-Stone lies in rolling countryside between Hertford and Stevenage, bypassed by the A602 so that its long high street stays fairly calm. The village has a pub, a church and, unusually for somewhere its size, its own station on the Hertford loop line, giving a direct rail link south towards London. Datchworth, Hertford and Stevenage are all short drives away, and we pick up from homes throughout the parish.
Measured from the village, Luton Airport is around 24 minutes on clear roads and Stansted about 42. Heathrow is also roughly 42 minutes, and Gatwick nearer 1h 17m. Arrivals are tracked live, so if the plane is late you will not be charged for the extra time your driver spends waiting.
The little station works well for commuting, but with suitcases or after the last train a car is far easier. Lister Hospital visits in Stevenage, evenings out in Hertford and door-to-door trips to King's Cross, about 47 minutes on clear roads, are typical requests.
