Minicabs on Pollards Hill

Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area on a hill between Norbury and Mitcham, just west of Thornton Heath. It sits on the border of the London Boroughs of Croydon and Merton, and its ring of roads (Pollards Hill North, South, East and West) circles the green space at the top. Pollards Hill minicabs booked through us cover every street on the hill and the estates around it.

We are a cab facilitator. We connect passengers with licensed private hire operators, give a fixed quote up front, and arrange the booking.

Why a Car Helps Here

The hill is lovely to live on but hard work on foot with shopping or suitcases. The nearest stations, Norbury and Mitcham Eastfields, are a walk away, and buses do not reach every road. A pre-booked minicab picks you up at the door, whatever the time.

Common local trips include:

  • Norbury station and Mitcham Eastfields station for trains into London.
  • Croydon University Hospital on the London Road.
  • Shopping in Streatham, Croydon or on the Purley Way.
  • Visits to family in Thornton Heath, Norbury and Eastfields.

Airport Transfers From Pollards Hill

Gatwick is reached by heading south through Croydon to the A23 and M23. Heathrow is a cross-country drive west, and Pollards Hill's position on the western side of our area can help on that run. Stansted, Luton and London City are covered too.

Typical Journey Times From Pollards Hill

  • Gatwick Airport: about 35 to 55 minutes.
  • Heathrow Airport: about 40 to 70 minutes.
  • Victoria station: about 30 to 50 minutes.
  • Croydon town centre: about 15 to 20 minutes.

These are typical times only. Traffic and the time of day make a big difference.

Local Tip

Because the Pollards Hill roads form a loop, house numbers can be confusing for visitors. Give the full road name and postcode when booking, so the driver comes up the right side of the hill.

Families and Groups

Families heading on holiday often choose a 6 seater taxi, and groups of up to eight can book a 7 to 8 seater MPV. Parents can also set up a regular school run taxi.
