Kingston town centre is the heart of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, on the Thames about 10 miles from Charing Cross and bordering Surbiton, New Malden, Norbiton and Hampton Wick.

How much is a taxi from Kingston?
Kingston is priced on a fixed-fare basis confirmed at the time of booking. As it is not currently listed in our published 2026 airport fare table, we give you an exact fixed quote when you book rather than an on-page estimate — so the price is clear before you travel. For airport runs you can also see our published fixed fares for the nearest listed pickup areas on our Heathrow and Gatwick pages. Fares are a guide under our Booking Terms and are subject to change.

Where we pick up in Kingston
The pedestrianised centre and the riverside mean a named meeting point saves time. Typical Kingston pickup points:
- Kingston station — South Western Railway services to London Waterloo, typically 25–35 minutes; we agree a spot clear of the station rank.
- The Bentall Centre — the shopping centre on Wood Street; a minicab can meet you at the door when you have bags.
- Rose Theatre — on the riverside by the High Street, for pickups after evening performances.
- Kingston Market Place — the historic market at the town’s heart, where the pedestrianised streets mean a short walk to the car.
- Kingston University — students and staff heading to stations and airports at term start and end.
- Kingston Bridge and the riverside — pubs and restaurants along the Thames, plus Canbury Gardens just upstream.
We also run regular trips to Kingston Hospital in Coombe, so pre-booked appointment pickups are no problem.
