Friern Barnet Taxi
Friern Barnet taxis, cabs and minicabs from Barnet Airport Transfers run 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We handle the short local trips and the long ones. Quick hops to North Finchley, pickups at Princess Park Manor, runs to Brent Cross for the shops, and fixed fare airport taxis that make the most of the North Circular. Quality is what keeps people booking with us again and again. Every driver is licensed for private hire, every car is clean and comfortable, and our drivers turn up on time and know the N11 roads well. You agree the price before the car arrives, so there’s no meter ticking and nothing to sort out at the end. Need a car right now, or one for a 4am flight next month? Either way, you get the same reliable service.
Friern Barnet is part of the wider Barnet taxi and minicab service run by Barnet Airport Transfers.
Your Local Friern Barnet Taxi Firm
Local knowledge saves time. Our Friern Barnet taxis are driven by people who know the difference between Friern Barnet Road, Friern Barnet Lane and Colney Hatch Lane without reaching for a map.
That matters when you're running late. Ring us and we'll give you an honest arrival time before you book, not a guess.
Friern Barnet Minicabs for Everyday Journeys
Most of our Friern Barnet minicab bookings are short. A trip to North Finchley for dinner. The big shop at Brent Cross. A doctor's appointment, a visit to family in Whetstone, a lift home with heavy bags. Every one gets a fixed fare and a friendly driver, however short the ride.
A few streets from the main road, Friern Barnet Library is a proper local success story. When the council closed it in 2012, residents moved in, kept it running and reopened it as a community library.
Regular cab bookings in N11
Same journey every week? Tell us once and we'll set up a regular booking for work, school or appointments.
Princess Park Manor Cabs and Pickups
Friern Barnet's biggest building has had two lives. It opened in 1851 as the Colney Hatch asylum, later became Friern Hospital, and was known for one of the longest corridors in the country. After it closed in the 1990s, it was converted into the Princess Park Manor apartments.
We collect from its gates most days. It's a big site, so tell us your block and which gate you'll be at. Your driver comes straight to you, and if you're heading back later, you can book the return at the same time.
Friern Barnet Airport Transfers Along the North Circular
This is what makes a Friern Barnet airport taxi so quick. The A406 North Circular runs along the southern edge of N11, which makes Friern Barnet unusually quick for trips east and west.
Head east and you're on the direct road to London City Airport. It's also the fastest way from here onto the M11 for Stansted. Head west and the same road takes you to Brent Cross and the M1, then on towards Luton and Heathrow.

Rush hour can add time, so we'll suggest a pickup that leaves room for it. Every Friern Barnet airport transfer is a fixed price per car. We track your flight on the way home, so your driver knows if you land early or late, and meet and greet is available in arrivals. Flying from Gatwick? We cover that too.
How Much Is a Taxi from Friern Barnet?

Why Book a Friern Barnet Taxi Instead of an App?
Ride apps are handy for a quick lift. For anything that matters, a pre-booked minicab is the safer bet. Prices don't jump when it rains or when everyone leaves the pub at once. Drivers don't cancel as you're locking the door. And a real person answers the phone if your plans change at 3am.
