Islington Airport Transfers & International Station Taxis

How Islington gets to the airport: fares, routes and timings

Islington runs north from Clerkenwell and Angel through Upper Street, Highbury and Holloway to Archway and the edge of Highgate. It borders King's Cross, so the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras is minutes away, and the A1, A10 and City Road connect it quickly to the City, the A12 and the north.

The borough divides for pricing. Angel, Barnsbury, Pentonville and Clerkenwell carry N1 or EC1 postcodes, which the booking engine treats as central London; Highbury, Holloway and Archway (N5, N7, N19) are inner London and cost less.

Islington airport and international station taxis – every route, both ways

Airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City

International stations: St Pancras, Stratford, Ebbsfleet, Ashford and Birmingham

Full Islington fare table – all seven vehicles

All seven vehicles for every route, from the same fare engine the booking page uses.

Standard fares, whole vehicle, one way; the reverse journey costs the same. Returns are 1.9× the single. The engine adds 20% for Friday journeys, Saturday and Sunday pickups before noon, Monday–Thursday trips into London 07:00–10:00 and out of London 16:00–19:00, and a seasonal supplement from 17 December to 1 January.

Why two Islington addresses can price differently

N1 and EC1 addresses are inside Rushxo's central zone, so fares from Angel, Barnsbury and Clerkenwell include the Congestion Charge allowance and the £20 central surcharge. Highbury, Holloway, Tufnell Park and Archway (N5, N7, N19) do not, which usually saves £20–£40 on the same airport. Both are in the fare table.
