Camden Town is one of the busiest parts of north London, and a pre-booked Camden Town taxi takes the stress out of getting in and out. Cars come from Swiss Cottage along Adelaide Road and Chalk Farm Road, and we take bookings 24 hours a day with the fare fixed in advance.
Camden is famous for its markets, music venues and the Regent's Canal. Crowds are heavy most days, and especially at weekends, so a little planning about where to meet your driver goes a long way.
Camden minicab for nights out and local trips
A Camden minicab is ideal for getting home after a gig or a meal. Camden has some of London's best-known music venues, and when they close, the High Street is crowded and slow. Book your car ahead and choose a pick-up point slightly away from the main strip. Parkway, Camden Road or the area near Mornington Crescent station are often easier.
We also take people from Camden to nearby areas such as Chalk Farm, Primrose Hill and Belsize Park, and back to Swiss Cottage.
Taxi from Camden Market
Camden Market and Camden Lock draw large crowds, and cars cannot stop in many of the surrounding streets. If you have been shopping and need a taxi from Camden Market, it helps to walk a short distance to a quieter road before your pick-up. Tell us roughly where you will be and we will agree a meeting point. If you are carrying large items you have bought, mention this so we can send a car with enough space.

Weekday trips from Camden
Outside the busy weekend market days, Camden Town is an ordinary, lively part of London where many people live and work. We arrange plenty of weekday journeys from Camden Road, Parkway, Arlington Road and the streets around Mornington Crescent, for meetings, hospital visits and trips to see family. Weekday mornings are usually calmer than weekends, but the junction at Camden Town station can still be slow, so allow a few extra minutes. If you live on one of the quieter residential streets east of the High Street, the driver will come to your door.
