Norbury Taxi & Airport Transfers
Norbury runs along the A23 between Streatham and Croydon, a well-placed base for both central London and Gatwick-bound journeys. The A23 London Road is the spine of the area, and while it can be slow, it puts Norbury on the most direct road from central London to the M23 and Gatwick Airport.
RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Norbury 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 Norbury
Because the A23 is the artery, our drivers watch it closely; when it clogs around Streatham or Thornton Heath they cut across to Mitcham for the A217 or use Green Lane and Norbury Avenue. Norbury station has fast Southern trains to Victoria, and many customers combine a train into town with a car for the airport leg. Norbury Park and the streets around Norbury Manor are quiet and residential, but London Road parking is restricted, so tell us your exact door and we will stop safely.
Main roads
- A23 London Road
- A214 Green Lane
- A216 Streatham Road
- Norbury Avenue
Rail and public transport
Norbury has Southern services to London Victoria in around 20 minutes and south to Croydon and Sutton. 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 Norbury is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
