Taxi to Heathrow
- Thread starter Manmasi
- Start date
Perhaps a bit out of your way, but living in Forest Hill I use Forest Hill Cars (020 8291 1111) on a regular basis to get to the airports. £40 to Gatwick, £45 to Heathrow.
Reliable.
If they're slack for work, they'd be daft not to pick you up in Brixton.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if they can't deliver or let you down.
'Always on the lookout for alternative safety nets.
I know how it is when the cab's late and you've a plane to catch.

Try Addison Lee, it's who I always use. Comfortable car, they all have sat nav so no fucking idiot driver getting you lost and they text you to tell you your car is outside!

I used to work for a company that had AL on account. I lost count of the times that they didn't show/were unnecessarily arsey!...
They didn't have sat nav at the time, so it was always a constant argument about the quickest way home.

I've been using them for work for the last two years not once had a problem. Always an excellent service with polite drivers ime...

Ah well, it was 2000-2002 that I was using them, so they've obviously cleaned up their act if your experience is anything to go by.

That would make sense. I used to go out with someone whose father was a driver for them around that time and he was a complete cunt but even he used to bitch about others drivers being crap...dunno what they earn now but Addy Lee drivers used to pull in alot of fucking money, he'd make around £1200 a week on a good week sometimes as much as £1600!

At that time of the morning with a decent (ie law breaking) driver probably around 45 minutes.

Ace! Just trying to work out just how stupidly early I'll have to get up next week.
I *was* thinking of getting the 4.30 am Gatwick Express, but that take 30mins, and cost £14, and would prolly have to spend a tenner on top of that for a cab to victoria, so really, it's much of a muchness, eh?
*e2a* Reliable Taxis want just £38 for a run to Gatwick. Bargain!

I've just 5 minutes ago discovered this 020 3 number. Got a hospital appointment at King's and immediately thought the 020 3 was a typo, so typed in 020 8
When did this all happen then?

Yes, but generally the numbers that started with 7 were central London and ones starting with 8 were Greater London - not that it really worked that way anyway

Well it did work ok because making 020 the code freed up a load more numbers, for instance 3. Sadly most people dial the full number including the code thinking the code is 0207 or 0208 so everything not only goes though the main exchange, it confuses people about the intorduction of new numbers (such as 3).
