Taxi From Barnet to Waterloo for South West Trains
A taxi from Barnet to Waterloo takes you south of the river without a single change. It's about 12 miles from High Barnet and typically 50 to 65 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day. Waterloo is the London base for South Western Railway, with trains to Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and the West Country. It's one of the busiest stations in the country, so we always recommend arriving a little early. Your driver drops you at the entrance, and the fare is fixed before you travel.
Barnet to Waterloo Cabs for Cruise and Ferry Connections
Lots of our Waterloo bookings are the first leg of a holiday. South Western Railway trains run to Southampton for cruise ships and Portsmouth for the ferries, which usually means plenty of luggage. A Barnet to Waterloo cab gets those cases from your hallway to the station with no stairs and no crowded carriages. Northern line trains on the Charing Cross branch do run direct from High Barnet to Waterloo, but Bank branch trains don't, and neither option is much fun with a fortnight's worth of bags.
Waterloo Station Taxi Pickups for Late Trains Home
Waterloo is inside the Congestion Charge zone, and we'll confirm whether the charge is included when we quote your fixed fare. Coming home late from the south coast? Give us your train details, and your Waterloo station taxi will be waiting outside when you arrive. It's the easiest way back to Barnet after a long day, especially when the Tube is winding down for the night.
