Minicabs on the Hill
Upper Norwood sits on high ground north-east of Thornton Heath, and it is the area most people know as Crystal Palace. Its busy centre is the Triangle, formed by Westow Hill, Church Road and Westow Street, full of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Our Upper Norwood minicabs service covers the whole area, from the Triangle down to the park.
We are a cab facilitator. We connect you with licensed private hire operators, provide a fixed quote, and arrange the booking.
Crystal Palace Park and the Triangle
Crystal Palace Park is one of south London's best-known parks, famous for its Victorian dinosaur sculptures and big open spaces. It also hosts concerts and events in summer. When events are on, roads around the park get busy, so book early and agree a pickup point. The tall Crystal Palace transmitter is a handy landmark when giving directions.
Steep Hills, Easy Rides
Upper Norwood is hilly. Walking up from the stations with bags or shopping is hard work, which is one reason a minicab is so useful here. Common local trips include:
- Crystal Palace station, with London Overground and Southern trains.
- Gipsy Hill and Norwood Junction stations.
- Restaurants and bars in the Triangle.
- Shopping in Croydon or Thornton Heath.
Airports and Stations
From Upper Norwood, Gatwick is reached through Croydon and down the A23. London City Airport is a short-ish run across south-east London. For train journeys, we cover all the main terminals, including Charing Cross and King's Cross.
Groups and Events
Heading to a concert in the park or a night out in the Triangle with friends? A 7 to 8 seater MPV means one booking for the whole group. Visitors staying in local hotels can use our hotel transfer taxi service.
