Tunbridge Wells to Canterbury — taxi or train, which is better?
The train from Tunbridge Wells to Canterbury involves at least one change, typically via Tonbridge or Ashford, and can take well over an hour door to door. A taxi from Twells Taxis at £66.25 goes direct with no changes, which usually suits groups, luggage, or a fixed arrival time better.
Twells Taxis drivers take the A21 out of Tunbridge Wells, then the A262 and onto the A28 across Kent into Canterbury. It's a 25-mile cross-county run that stays well clear of London traffic entirely, which keeps the journey more predictable than routes into the capital.
Because this route runs east across Kent rather than into London, there's no Congestion Charge and no ULEZ fee to factor in. The £66.25 fixed fare is the whole price — no zone charges, no tolls, and no surprises at drop-off.
