Putney to Victoria taxi

Two ways in from Putney

Victoria is the closest of the big London terminals to Putney, about 5 miles away. One route crosses Putney Bridge and runs along the New King's Road and King's Road to Sloane Square, a few minutes from the station. The other stays south of the river through Wandsworth and Battersea, crossing at Chelsea Bridge. Which one is quicker changes through the day, and drivers choose based on live traffic.

Victoria sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so if you travel during charging hours, ask whether the charge is included in your quote.

Trains and coaches from Victoria

Southern and Southeastern trains leave Victoria for Brighton, the Sussex coast and Kent, and the Gatwick Express runs non-stop to Gatwick Airport. Victoria Coach Station, a short walk along Buckingham Palace Road, handles National Express and many continental coaches. Tell us whether you're catching a train or a coach and we'll drop you at the most convenient entrance.

Victoria to Putney: getting home

Arriving back late on a Friday with a weekend bag? A Victoria to Putney taxi saves carrying it through the Underground. Give us your train or coach time when you book, and call or message if it's running late so we can adjust the pickup.

Why book a taxi to Victoria

There's no direct mainline train from Putney to Victoria, and the Tube means stairs and changes with luggage. A taxi is door to door, and for two or three people it can cost little more than separate tickets. For other terminals, see our Putney to Waterloo and Putney to Paddington guides.

Coaches from Victoria Coach Station

Victoria Coach Station is the hub for National Express coaches across the UK and to the airports, and for many European coach services. Departures and arrivals use separate buildings on either side of the road, so tell us which you need. Coaches leave on time and boarding closes before departure, so give yourself a margin, especially on Friday evenings and at the start of the holidays.

Theatres and sights around Victoria

Victoria isn't just for trains. The Apollo Victoria and the Victoria Palace Theatre are both a few minutes' walk from the station, Westminster Cathedral is close by, and Buckingham Palace is at the end of Buckingham Palace Road. If you're heading to a show, tell us the theatre and we'll stop as close as the traffic allows.

Planning a Victoria pickup

The roads around Victoria are among the busiest in London, and many of them are red routes, where stopping is restricted. That means a driver can't always pull up right outside the entrance you'd like. When you book a pickup from Victoria, tell us whether you're coming off a train or a coach, and the driver will confirm a legal stopping point a short walk away. For drop-offs, we'll get you as close to the station or the coach station as the rules allow. Leave a little extra time at rush hour, when Buckingham Palace Road and Vauxhall Bridge Road are at their slowest.
