Chelsea pickup points we know well
Chelsea’s grandest streets are narrow and lined with residents’ parking, so it helps to agree the exact kerb with your driver. Passengers most often book a Chelsea taxi from:
- Sloane Square station — District and Circle lines; the cab waits on the Lower Sloane Street side, away from the bus stops.
- The King’s Road — shops, cafes and restaurants from Sloane Square towards World’s End; side streets are easier for a car than the main road.
- The Saatchi Gallery — the Duke of York’s HQ off the King’s Road, a short walk from Sloane Square.
- The Royal Hospital Chelsea — home of the Chelsea Pensioners and the venue for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show each May.
- Chelsea Physic Garden and Cheyne Walk — the riverside end, near Albert Bridge and Chelsea Embankment.
- Chelsea Harbour — the marina and design centre at the SW10 end of the district.
Hospital visits are covered too: we collect from the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on the Fulham Road and the Royal Marsden on the Fulham Road. Chelsea is a mix of gallery visitors, diners, Pensioners’ guests, residents with early flights and shoppers loaded with bags, and a booked car with a fixed price suits all of them. The driver messages on arrival, so you can stay inside until the car is at the door.

- Wheelchair-accessible cars, available on request.
- 8-seater vehicles for family parties and wedding guests.

Chelsea’s galleries, clinics and design studios can open a corporate account so staff journeys are invoiced at fixed prices.
