Tolworth and its roads
Tolworth is best known for Tolworth Tower, the tall office block that stands beside the A3 at the Tolworth junction, where the A3 crosses the A240 Kingston Road. The Broadway has a string of shops and cafés, and there is a large supermarket close to the junction. Tolworth station sits on the same branch line as Chessington, with trains towards Waterloo.
The A3 makes Tolworth quick to leave by car, but the junction itself can be slow at peak times. Our drivers know when to use the service roads and when to join the main carriageway.
To and from the airports
For Heathrow, drivers from Tolworth often head west along the A3 and the A309 towards Hampton Court and Sunbury, which avoids the busiest part of the M25. At other times the M25 is faster. Either way, it typically takes 30 to 40 minutes.
Tolworth is also on the right side of our area for east London. A trip to London City Airport typically takes 60 to 80 minutes through central or south London. See our London City Airport taxi page for details.
Into central London
The A3 runs straight from Tolworth towards Wandsworth and central London. It is the route our drivers take for Waterloo station, Victoria and the West End. Typically the journey takes 40 to 55 minutes, longer in rush hour. A car is especially useful when you are travelling late or have bags.
Everyday trips from Tolworth
Local customers book us for doctor and hospital appointments, shopping at the Tolworth and Kingston stores, and runs to Surbiton and Kingston for work. We also carry families to birthday parties, sports clubs and swimming lessons at weekends. Every trip is at a fixed fare agreed before you set off.
If you have a pet to take to the vet, tell us when you book and we will send a car and driver happy to take them.
Hospital and clinic trips from Tolworth
Tolworth is well placed on the A3 for the larger hospitals. Kingston Hospital is a short drive to the north, and St George's Hospital in Tooting can be reached along the A3 in around 30 to 40 minutes at quiet times. For patients and their carers, a booked car is simpler than a bus and a train, and you can plan the return journey in advance or call us when the appointment is over. Let us know about any mobility needs when you book.
Evenings out from Tolworth
Tolworth is a short drive from the restaurants and bars of Kingston and Surbiton. Book a car there and back and nobody in the group has to drive. We can collect you at an agreed time, or you can call us when you are ready. Groups of friends can book our larger vehicles so everyone travels together at one fixed fare.
