Taxis and Minicabs
Black taxis are available to hire on request. The taxi is fitted with a meter which calculates the cost of your journey. We have found these difficult to pre-book for short journeys and can be expensive.
Minicabs are available to hire for any length of journey but must be pre-booked. Agree the price first before travel. The nearest minicab company is available just around the corner from Kandara (on Essex Road) - Essex Express telephone (020) 7359 9898.
