Need a Kilburn taxi? We arrange cars throughout Kilburn, from Kilburn High Road and Kilburn Park to Brondesbury and the streets around Kilburn Grange Park. Our Swiss Cottage office is a short drive east along Belsize Road, and bookings are open 24 hours a day.
Kilburn sits on the border between Camden and Brent, with Kilburn High Road running straight through the middle. It is lively, busy and well connected by trains, but the High Road traffic can be slow, which is why planning your pick-up matters.
Kilburn minicab for local journeys
People use our Kilburn minicab service for all sorts of everyday trips: to Queen's Park, to the shops in West Hampstead, to appointments across north-west London, or home after an evening at the Kiln Theatre. If you need a car from the theatre after a show, book the return time in advance so the driver is ready when you come out.
For regular journeys, such as getting children to and from school, our school run taxi page explains how we set up repeat bookings.
Taxi on Kilburn High Road
Kilburn High Road is part of the old Roman road, Watling Street, and today it is one of the busiest streets in the area, with bus lanes and limited places to stop. If you book a taxi on Kilburn High Road, the driver may ask to meet you on a side street. This keeps you safe and avoids blocking buses.
Kilburn has several stations nearby: Kilburn on the Jubilee line, Kilburn High Road and Brondesbury on the Overground, and Kilburn Park on the Bakerloo line. Station names can be confusing, so tell us exactly which one you mean if you are being collected from a station.

Vehicles for Kilburn passengers
We can send a saloon or estate car for most trips, a 6 seater taxi for families, or a 7 seater taxi for groups going to events or the airport together. Child seats are available on request. If you are travelling from Kilburn to a main line station, our Paddington and Euston pages cover what to expect at each one.
Queen's Park, Brondesbury and nearby streets
Kilburn blends into Queen's Park, Brondesbury and West Hampstead, and we cover all of them. Queen's Park, with its park, cafes and Salusbury Road shops, is a popular pick-up, as are the quieter residential roads around Brondesbury Park. If you are booking from one of these streets, there is usually more room for a car to stop than on the High Road, so pick-ups tend to be quicker. For journeys to Wembley, Harrow or other parts of north-west London, tell us the address and we will confirm the fare straight away.
