Our taxi service in Hook, Surbiton is about as local as it gets. Hook sits just to the south-west of Tolworth, where the A3 Kingston bypass meets the A243 Hook Road. From our office on Tolworth Broadway it is a very short drive.
Where Hook is and why that helps
Hook grew up along Hook Road, which runs from Surbiton south towards Chessington. At its centre is Hook Parade, a line of shops and takeaways, and St Paul's Church nearby. To the north lies Southborough, a leafy area of larger houses between Hook and Surbiton.
The big advantage of Hook for travel is the Ace of Spades roundabout, where the A3 meets the A309 Kingston bypass. From here, a car can be on the A3 heading for London or the M25 within a minute, or on the A309 towards Hampton Court and Heathrow. That makes Hook one of the best places in our area for fast airport runs.

Rush hour around Hook
Because Hook sits on major roads, it also feels the rush hour. Hook Road and the A3 junctions queue at school times and in the evening peak. Our drivers plan pickups with that in mind, and for time-critical trips such as flights or trains we build in a sensible margin.
Hook for longer trips
Being next to the A3 also makes Hook a good starting point for the longer runs into London. Our drivers can be heading north towards Wandsworth within minutes. We run to all London terminals, such as Victoria and King's Cross, and to London City Airport.
Pets and bigger cars
Travelling with a dog to the vet or to a walk further afield? Our pet friendly taxi service makes sure a suitable car comes. For family trips, we have 6 seater MPVs and 7/8 seaters, and child seats are available on request.
Collecting you from Hook Parade
Hook Parade is busy in the evening, when the takeaways and shops draw people from across the area, and the service road in front of the shops fills with parked cars. If you are waiting for a car there, tell us which shop you are outside when you book, and the driver will pull in as close as it is safe to stop. At quieter times, a side road just off the Parade can be easier. After a late shift or a night out, we can also collect you from Surbiton or Tolworth station and bring you home to Hook.
