Whetstone Taxi and Minicab Service on the Great North Road
Whetstone taxis, cabs and minicabs from Barnet Airport Transfers run 24 hours a day across N20, from the restaurants on the High Road to Totteridge & Whetstone station and every quiet street in between. Our drivers use the High Road all day, so they know when it's busy and which way round is quicker. We'll take you out for dinner and bring you home after, meet you off the Northern line, run the kids to school or get you to Luton or Heathrow for an early flight. What makes the difference is the quality of the service. Drivers are licensed, friendly and on time. Cars are clean, comfortable and properly looked after. And the fare is agreed before you set off, so there's no meter to watch and no surprise at the end. Simple, reliable and local.
Whetstone Cabs and the Stone on the High Road
Whetstone takes its name from a local legend. Soldiers marching to the Battle of Barnet in 1471 are said to have sharpened their blades on a stone by the road. A battered stone still sits outside the Griffin pub on the High Road today.
Is the story true? Nobody really knows. What we do know is that the High Road is still the Great North Road, the old route north out of London, and our Whetstone cabs travel up and down it all day long.
Whetstone Minicabs for Nights Out on the High Road
Whetstone's High Road is one of the busiest stretches for eating out in this part of London. Restaurants and bars line the road from Totteridge Lane up towards Oakleigh Road, and on a Friday or Saturday night the whole strip is buzzing.
Getting home is the easy part if you plan it. Pre-book your Whetstone minicab before you go out, and your driver will be outside when you're ready. Running late or staying for another drink? Give us a call and we'll adjust. It beats standing at a bus stop at closing time. Out with a big group? A 6- or 7-seater taxi gets everyone home in one car.
Totteridge & Whetstone Station Taxis
The Northern line station sits at the bottom of Totteridge Lane, one stop south of High Barnet. It's a regular pickup point for commuters coming home with shopping, luggage or simply tired legs after a long day in town.
Book a Whetstone taxi with your train time, and your driver will be waiting outside.
Direct cabs to Euston and King's Cross
Travelling on from a mainline terminus? A direct cab from Whetstone to Euston or King's Cross avoids the change at Camden Town, and you won't be hauling a suitcase through crowded tunnels. Saloon fares to King's Cross start from £50.
Whetstone Taxis Around Swan Lane and the Dollis Valley
Between the houses, Whetstone has more green space than you'd expect. There's Swan Lane Open Space, and the Dollis Valley Greenwalk follows the brook towards Totteridge.
It's a great spot for a long walk or a run with the dog. If you'd rather not walk all the way back, book a Whetstone cab to collect you from the end of your route. Tell us which entrance or road you'll be at.
Everyday Whetstone Cab Journeys
Not every trip is a big one. Our Whetstone cabs do plenty of everyday runs, including the shops in North Finchley, GP and dental appointments, visits to Barnet Hospital, and school runs. Oakleigh Park station on the Great Northern line is a short ride away too, if that suits your journey better than the tube.
