Catford Taxi & Airport Transfers

Catford is Lewisham borough's town centre, instantly recognisable for its giant fibreglass cat and its growing creative scene. It sits on the South Circular and the A21, which makes it one of the more convenient starting points in south-east London for London City Airport and for the A2 and M25 routes to Kent.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Catford 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.

Airport transfers from Catford

We run to and from every London airport from Catford around the clock. Distances and typical door-to-door times are shown below; your fixed fare is confirmed at booking and does not change if traffic is slow.

*Typical ranges for guidance only — actual journey time depends on the time of day, roadworks and weather. When you book we suggest a pickup time that gives you sensible margin for check-in. Meet-and-greet on airport pickups includes flight tracking, so if your flight is late your driver simply meets the actual landing time.

Local knowledge: getting around Catford

The Catford gyratory, where the South Circular meets the A21, is the busiest junction in the area and it is being remodelled, so our drivers keep up with the changing layouts. London City is 25–35 minutes via Lewisham and the Blackwall Tunnel; Gatwick is via Bromley and the M25 or via Crystal Palace and the A23; and Heathrow means the full length of the South Circular or the M25, so early flights get an early start. Catford and Catford Bridge stations are adjacent but on different lines.

Main roads

• A205 South Circular
• A21 Bromley Road
• A2218 Stanstead Road
• A212 Catford Hill

Rail and public transport

Catford has Thameslink trains to Blackfriars and St Pancras; Catford Bridge has Southeastern services to Charing Cross and Cannon Street; both are a minute's walk apart. 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 Catford is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
