If you need a Belsize Park taxi, Swiss Cottage Taxis is just around the corner. Our office on Adelaide Road is a few minutes' drive from Haverstock Hill, so a car can usually reach Belsize Village, England's Lane or the streets around Belsize Park station without a long wait. You can book by phone or through the online form, day or night, and the fare is fixed when you book.
Belsize Park sits between Swiss Cottage, Hampstead and Chalk Farm, and most of its homes are on quiet residential roads. That makes a pre-booked car far easier than trying to find a black cab on Haverstock Hill late in the evening or early in the morning.
Belsize Park minicab for everyday journeys
Many of the trips we arrange from Belsize Park are short and practical: a ride to the shops on Finchley Road, a lift home from a restaurant in Belsize Village, or a journey across to friends in West Hampstead or Primrose Hill. A Belsize Park minicab is also handy when you are carrying heavy bags or the weather turns, because the driver can collect you from your front door.
For regular trips, such as the morning journey to school, our school run taxi service lets you set up the same pick-up times each week. If you are travelling with a dog to the vet or to Hampstead Heath, ask for a pet friendly taxi when you book so the right vehicle is sent.
Taxi to the Royal Free Hospital
The Royal Free Hospital on Pond Street is on the edge of Belsize Park, and a taxi to the Royal Free Hospital is one of the most common short trips in this part of NW3. If you have an appointment, it helps to tell us which entrance you need so the driver can drop you as close as possible. For the journey home, you can book a return time in advance or call us when you are ready to leave.
Please allow extra time at busy periods. Pond Street and South End Green can be slow in the morning, and drop-off space near the hospital is limited.
Belsize Park airport transfer
A Belsize Park airport transfer is the simplest way to start a trip with suitcases. Belsize Park station is on a deep section of the Northern line, so lifts and long stairways make the tube hard work with luggage. A car collects you from home and takes you straight to the terminal.
- Heathrow airport taxi: usually via the A40 Westway and the M4.
- Luton airport taxi: north up the A41 and onto the M1.
- Stansted airport taxi: across the North Circular to the M11.
- Gatwick airport taxi: through central or south-west London to the M23.
For arrivals, give us your flight number. The flight is tracked, so the pick-up time moves if you land early or late, and meet and greet in the arrivals hall can be arranged.
