Cockfosters Taxis, Cabs and Minicabs

Cockfosters Taxi and Cab Service

Cockfosters taxis, cabs and minicabs from Barnet Airport Transfers run 24 hours a day, from the station forecourt to Trent Park, the shops on Cockfosters Road and every home in EN4. The Tube stops here. We don't. When you need to get somewhere the Piccadilly line can't take you, or you simply don't fancy dragging a suitcase across London, a pre-booked Cockfosters cab is the easy answer. We take service quality seriously because people book us for the trips that matter, like early flights, hospital appointments and late trains home. Every driver is licensed, every car is clean and comfortable, and your cab turns up when it should. The fare is fixed before you travel, with no meter running and no surge pricing. Whether it's a short hop or a long airport run, you get the same careful service.

Cockfosters is part of our 24/7 Barnet cabs and minicabs service, so there's always a car nearby.

Cockfosters Station Taxis and Cab Pickups

Cockfosters Station opened in 1933 as the northern end of the Piccadilly line. It's one of Charles Holden's modernist stations.

For most people, though, it's where the journey home really begins. Book a taxi from Cockfosters station with your arrival time, and your driver will be waiting outside. From here it's a few minutes to most homes in EN4, or a short ride on to Hadley Wood, East Barnet or Southgate.

Cockfosters Taxi or Tube to Heathrow?

The Piccadilly line does run all the way from Cockfosters to Heathrow, and it's cheap. That's a fair point.

It's also a very long ride. Expect well over an hour and a half, right through central London, with dozens of stops and your luggage on your lap. A Cockfosters taxi via the M25 usually takes 45 to 60 minutes, door to terminal. You sit down once, your bags go in the boot, and you arrive relaxed.

So which is better? Travelling alone with a small bag at a quiet time, the Tube can work. For families, early flights, heavy luggage or anyone who'd rather not change trains, the taxi wins. Split a fixed fare between three or four people, and it often costs less than expected.

Cockfosters Airport Transfers via Junction 24

Cockfosters Road runs north to junction 24 of the M25, and that makes flying from here unusually easy. Stansted is one of the quickest airports from Cockfosters at around 35 to 45 minutes. Luton and Heathrow are both simple motorway runs.

Every Cockfosters airport transfer is a fixed price per car. On the way home we track your flight, so a delay doesn't leave you stranded, and an early landing doesn't leave you waiting. Want to be met inside the terminal? Meet and greet puts your driver in arrivals holding your name.

Cockfosters airport taxi journey times

Traffic at peak times can add a little, so we'll suggest a sensible pickup time when you book. Book your Cockfosters airport taxi to Stansted, Heathrow, Luton, London City or Gatwick.

Cockfosters Airport Taxi Prices

Saloon fares from the Barnet area start at £70 to Luton, £72 to London City, £77 to Heathrow and £94 to Stansted. The full list is on our starting fares table, and the booking form gives your exact Cockfosters price before you pay.

You pay per car, not per seat. That's why a family heading to Stansted together often pays less than four separate train tickets.

Trent Park Taxis and Minicabs

Just north of the station, Trent Park is one of the largest open spaces in north London. Woodland, lakes and open grass cover land that was once part of a royal hunting forest. Trent Park House, at its centre, is now home to a museum about its secret wartime history, when British intelligence listened in on captured German officers there.

It makes a brilliant day out and a long walk back if you overdo it. Our Cockfosters minicabs drop off and pick up from the park entrances and from the house itself. Tell us which entrance you'll be at and what time, and your cab will be there.

Cockfosters Minicabs Around Cockfosters Road

Plenty of our Cockfosters bookings are simple ones. To the station for work. Home with the shopping. A coffee with friends at one of the cafés on Cockfosters Road, or an appointment in Barnet or Southgate. The shops around the station are a short hop from Hadley Wood and East Barnet too, and short journeys get a fixed fare like any other.

Late Night Cabs From Cockfosters Station

The walk home from the station feels a lot longer after midnight. Book your Cockfosters cab before you set off, or call us from the train, and ring if you're running late. We'd rather wait a few minutes than leave you on an empty forecourt.

Larger Cockfosters Cabs for Families and Groups

Travelling with the whole family or a group of friends? A 6-seater or 7-seater taxi gets everyone and the luggage there in one car, which is usually cheaper and calmer than booking two. Need child seats? Give us the children's ages when you book.

Book Your Cockfosters Taxi Online or by Phone
