About Waterloo

The UK's busiest station, without the wait

Waterloo is Britain's busiest railway terminus, handling tens of millions of passengers a year across more platforms than any other UK station. South Western expresses arrive from Southampton, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Exeter and the Surrey and Berkshire commuter belt; four Underground lines run beneath it; and the South Bank — the London Eye, Southbank Centre and National Theatre — sits on its doorstep.

All that traffic has one predictable consequence: the taxi rank queue. At morning and evening peaks, after theatre curtain-down and on weekend afternoons, waits regularly stretch past 20–30 minutes — and the meter that follows makes slow London traffic expensive. Booking a fixed-price Rushxo car flips that: your driver is assigned before your train pulls in, meets you at an agreed exit, and the fare was settled when you booked.

How much is a taxi from Waterloo to Heathrow?

What if my train into Waterloo is delayed?

We track major services. If yours is running late, message us on WhatsApp or call 02088889988 and we move your pickup at no extra cost.

How long is the wait for pickup at Waterloo?

Typically 10–20 minutes from an on-the-spot booking, depending on traffic and demand. Pre-book with your train time and the driver is assigned before you arrive.

Can I book in advance?

Yes — schedule days or weeks ahead, or book same-day. For peak hours (7–10 AM, 5–7 PM) and weekends, booking 30+ minutes ahead is wise.

How do I get from Waterloo to the Eurostar?

Eurostar departs from St Pancras International, about 15–25 minutes from Waterloo by taxi (from £65). Tell us your departure time and we build in margin for Eurostar check-in.

How does Rushxo compare to Uber at Waterloo?

Do you have accessible vehicles for wheelchair users?

Yes. Wheelchair-accessible taxis are available — request one at booking and we allocate a fully equipped vehicle.

Is it worth a taxi to the London Eye or South Bank?

The London Eye, Southbank Centre and National Theatre are a short walk from Waterloo — we'd honestly suggest walking unless you have luggage or mobility needs, in which case we're happy to take you.
