We arrange Kingston Vale minicabs for one of the quieter corners of the borough. Kingston Vale has no railway station of its own, so a pre-booked car is often the simplest way to get to a train, a flight or into town. Book online or call 020 3740 4439, day or night.
Between the park and the A3
Kingston Vale runs along the main road (the A308) between the top of Kingston Hill and the Robin Hood roundabout on the A3. Richmond Park lies on one side, with Robin Hood Gate close by, and Wimbledon Common and Putney Vale are on the other side of the A3. It feels green and out of the way, but it is very well placed for the main road into London and out to the M25.
Why residents book minicabs
- No local station. Getting to Kingston, Norbiton or Wimbledon for a train often means a bus or a long walk.
- Quick A3 access. The A3 makes Gatwick, Stansted and central London trips smoother than from the town centre.
- Park visits. Visitors to Richmond Park often need a ride home after a long walk or a cycle.

Airports and stations
From Kingston Vale, Gatwick and Stansted runs usually start by joining the A3 at Robin Hood. Heathrow is reached back through Kingston and west via Hampton. Airport fares are fixed when you book: see Gatwick taxi and Stansted taxi. For central London trains, the A3 leads towards Wandsworth and Victoria.
Richmond Park pick-ups
Richmond Park is huge and its gates are far apart. If you want to be collected after a walk, agree the gate or car park when you book, and keep your phone on. Bringing the dog? Book a pet friendly taxi so the right car is sent.
Where we pick up
We cover Kingston Vale, the roads off it, and the neighbouring areas of Putney Vale and Roehampton Vale. Next door, Kingston Hill leads down to the town centre.
Getting home late to Kingston Vale
Buses run along the A308 through Kingston Vale, but late at night and with luggage the walk from the nearest stop can feel a long way. Many residents book a car from Kingston or Wimbledon station after a late train, rather than waiting for a bus. Book the pick-up for your train's arrival time and call 020 3740 4439 if it is delayed.
The Robin Hood roundabout
The Robin Hood roundabout, where the A308 meets the A3, is the main junction for Kingston Vale. It is the quickest way onto the A3 towards London or the M25, but it can queue in the morning and evening peaks. For early flights from Heathrow or London City, leaving before 6am avoids most of this.
Nearby places we drive to
- Kingston town centre and Kingston station, down Kingston Hill.
- Wimbledon station and Wimbledon Village, across the Common.
- Putney and Roehampton along the A3.
- Kingston Hospital, near the bottom of Kingston Hill.
Booking for Putney Vale
Putney Vale, just past the Robin Hood roundabout, is home to Putney Vale Cemetery and a large retail park. Give us the exact address or store name for pick-ups there.
