Addiscombe Taxi & Airport Transfers
Addiscombe is a well-connected Croydon neighbourhood on the tramlink, a short hop from East Croydon's fast rail links. It is a mostly Victorian residential area with a busy parade on Lower Addiscombe Road, and its position east of the town centre keeps it clear of Croydon's worst congestion while staying minutes from the A23 and A232.
RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Addiscombe and the rest of south London. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel — airport transfers, station runs, cruise and ferry ports, business travel and days out — with professional drivers, flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.

Local knowledge: getting around Addiscombe
East Croydon station is the big draw — Gatwick is 15 minutes by train from there and Victoria under 20 — and we do a lot of station transfers as well as door-to-door airport runs. By road, Gatwick is via the A23 and M23 through Purley, and Heathrow is across the A232 and M25 or via Mitcham and the A3. Addiscombe Road is the tram route, so pickups on it are arranged carefully; the side streets off Lower Addiscombe Road are easier.
Main roads
- A222 Lower Addiscombe Road
- A232 Addiscombe Road

Rail and public transport
Tramlink stops at Addiscombe, Blackhorse Lane and Woodside connect to East Croydon, where Southern, Thameslink and Gatwick Express trains run to Victoria, London Bridge and Gatwick Airport. Trains are great for a quick trip into town, but for early flights, late arrivals, luggage, children or a group travelling together, a pre-booked fixed-price car from your door in Addiscombe is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
