Putney to King's Cross taxi

Two stations side by side

King's Cross and St Pancras International face each other across Pancras Road, so one taxi covers both. Tell us which you need. King's Cross is the terminus for LNER trains to Peterborough, York, Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh, plus Grand Central, Hull Trains, Lumo and Great Northern. St Pancras has the Eurostar to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, Thameslink, Southeastern high-speed trains to Kent and East Midlands Railway.

Getting there from Putney

At around 8 miles, King's Cross is one of the longer station runs from Putney. Drivers usually go north through Fulham and Kensington, then east along the Marylebone Road and Euston Road. Both stations sit just north of the Euston Road, outside the Congestion Charge zone.

Eurostar from St Pancras

Eurostar asks passengers to arrive well before departure for security and passport checks, so build that into your pickup time. Leaving from Putney on a weekday morning, give yourself a generous margin for traffic on the Marylebone Road.

King's Cross to Putney

Coming back from Edinburgh or Paris, a King's Cross to Putney taxi saves a long Tube journey with a change. Book with your arrival time. If you have time to spare before a train, Platform 9¾ in the King's Cross concourse is a hit with young Harry Potter fans. Other long-distance terminals: Euston and Paddington. Staying overnight before an early train? See our hotel transfer taxi.

Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard

The streets behind King's Cross have been transformed into one of London's liveliest neighbourhoods, with Granary Square's fountains, the shops and restaurants of Coal Drops Yard and the art school at Central Saint Martins. If you're heading there rather than to a train, give us the address and we'll take you to the nearest drop-off point.

Thameslink from St Pancras

Thameslink trains from St Pancras run south to Gatwick and Brighton and north to Luton Airport Parkway and Bedford. From Putney, a direct Putney to Gatwick taxi is usually simpler than crossing London to catch one, but if you're starting from the station area, Thameslink is a handy option.

Cambridge, the North East and Scotland

From King's Cross, Great Northern trains run to Cambridge, which is handy for students and visitors to the university. LNER trains continue north to Durham, Newcastle and Edinburgh, while Lumo offers budget services to Edinburgh and Hull Trains serves East Yorkshire. Long journeys like these usually mean luggage, and the start and end of university terms bring a rush of students with boxes and bags. A 6 seater taxi takes the lot, and booking ahead helps on the busiest weekends.

Arriving on the Eurostar

Passport checks for the Eurostar happen before you board in Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam, so on arrival at St Pancras you walk straight off the train and out of the station. That makes timing a pickup easy: give us your train time and we'll meet you outside, ready for the drive back across London to Putney.
