New Barnet Taxis
New Barnet runs on trains. Half the town seems to head for the station at 7.30 every morning, and the other half is trying to get home from it at night. Our job is to make both ends of that journey easier.
We run taxis, cabs and minicabs across New Barnet in EN4 and EN5, 24 hours a day. Station pickups, short hops up the hill, early airport runs and everything in between. You get a fixed fare before you book and a driver who knows Lyonsdown from Station Road.
We're part of the same 24/7 service that runs Barnet minicabs right across the borough.
A Commuter Town Built by the Railway
Until the middle of the 1800s, New Barnet was mostly fields. Then the Great Northern Railway opened a station here in 1850, and the town grew up around it. Victorian terraces came first, then big villas, then street after street of family homes.
That history still shapes how people travel. Lots of our New Barnet cab bookings are timed around trains. Commuters, people visiting family up north, students heading home with a bag of laundry. The station is the centre of everything here.
New Barnet Station Taxi Pickups
Getting picked up from New Barnet station is simple. Tell us your train time and which side of the station you'll walk out of. Your driver will be waiting right there, not circling the block.
Trains from New Barnet run south to Finsbury Park and central London, and north towards Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City. If you're coming in late from either direction, a booked cab is a much nicer end to the day than a long walk in the rain.
Skip the Change at Finsbury Park
Here's a tip regular travellers learn fast. If you're heading to King's Cross with a big case, changing at Finsbury Park is a pain. Stairs, crowds, a tight connection. A direct taxi from New Barnet to King's Cross takes you door to station with your bags in the boot, and fares start from £50.
Regular Cab Bookings for New Barnet Commuters
Same train every morning? Set up a regular booking and stop thinking about it. We'll have a car outside your door at the same time each day, and you can change or pause it with a quick call. It's popular with people who work early or late shifts, when buses are thin on the ground.
Short Minicab Trips Around New Barnet
We like short journeys. Seriously. Lots of our New Barnet minicabs run up the hill to High Barnet High Street, over to Barnet Hospital, or along to the shops on the East Barnet parade. A short ride gets the same fixed price and the same friendly driver as a long one. Nobody will sigh when you tell them where you're going.
