How much is a taxi from Tunbridge Wells to the City of London?
Twells Taxis charges a fixed £92.75 for the 35-mile journey into the City, worked out at £2.65 per mile. That price is agreed before you travel and won't change if financial district traffic slows you down.
How long does the taxi from Tunbridge Wells to the City take?
Off-peak, the journey normally takes 55 to 75 minutes. During weekday peak hours (7am-9.30am and 4.30pm-7pm), allow 80 to 115 minutes or more due to South East London traffic building on the Thames bridge approaches.
Is it better to book a taxi or take the train to the City?
For one person during weekday peak hours, the train to Cannon Street or London Bridge in 40-50 minutes often wins. For groups, luggage or early/late journeys, Twells Taxis' door-to-door fixed fare is usually more convenient.
Twells Taxis' drivers take the A21 north to the M25 at Junction 5, then continue on the A2/A20 inbound through Lewisham and New Cross, joining Old Kent Road and crossing London Bridge directly into the Square Mile. It's a well-used route of around 35 miles that drivers know well, including the areas most likely to slow down during rush hour.
The City of London has some of the strictest street restrictions in the capital, including the Bank Junction closure and Beech Street's low-emission corridor. Since the entire City sits inside the Central London Congestion Charge zone (£15, 7am-6pm weekdays, 12pm-6pm weekends) and the ULEZ (£12.50, all day, every day), Twells Taxis' drivers will drop you at the nearest permitted access point to your exact building or station rather than guessing at a route that may be closed to traffic.
