Charing Cross station sits on the Strand, next to Trafalgar Square. It is the starting point for Southeastern trains to Kent and the south east, and it is right in the middle of the West End. A taxi from Edgware to Charing Cross is a good choice for an early train, a night out, or a trip with luggage.
We are a cab facilitator. We put you in touch with licensed local minicab and taxi companies who give you a fixed price quote before you travel.
Route and typical journey time
The route usually runs down the A41 or the A5 into central London, then through the West End to the Strand. Central London traffic is slow, so the last couple of miles can take the longest.
| Typical distance | About 11 to 12 miles |
|---|---|
| Typical journey time | 45 to 70 minutes |
| Main roads | A41 or A5, then West End roads |
| Booking | Online, by phone on 02037405080 or WhatsApp, 24/7 |
These times are typical. Evening theatre times and weekday rush hours are especially busy around the Strand.

Cab or Northern line?
Many Northern line trains from Edgware run via Charing Cross. If you are on your own with a small bag, the Tube is usually the cheapest way. A cab makes sense when you have luggage, are travelling late at night, have small children, or are sharing the cost with others.
Central London charges: this station is inside or close to the Congestion Charge zone. Ask whether your quote includes any road charges so the price you agree is the price you pay.
Late night pick-ups
After a show or a late train, a pre-booked car back to Edgware means no waiting around. Book with the time you expect to be ready and the meeting point. Your confirmation will explain who to call if you are running late. We are open 24/7, so late bookings are not a problem.
Choosing your car
For a group night out, a 7 seater taxi keeps everyone together and splits the fare. Staying in a hotel in town? Read our hotel transfer taxi page.
