Pre-booked taxis from Fordcombe to the local stations, Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells Hospital and every London airport. Licensed local drivers and a fixed price agreed when you book, 24 hours a day.
Your local taxi in Fordcombe
Fordcombe sits about five miles west of Tunbridge Wells, on the B2188 between the A264 near Langton Green and Penshurst. It is a small village in Penshurst parish, in Sevenoaks district, gathered round The Green, with St Peter’s Church and the village primary school close by. Beyond the centre, homes are scattered along country lanes where a walk to a bus stop or station is rarely practical. We collect from The Green, Spring Hill, The Lane and Poundsbridge Lane, and from outlying farms and cottages; a house name and TN3 postcode is usually enough for the driver to find you.
Every Fordcombe journey has a fixed price agreed when you book; there is no meter. Fordcombe is outside the Tunbridge Wells local fare area, so if your trip starts and finishes outside town, for example Fordcombe to Penshurst station, the price includes the miles for the car to reach you and get back. Call 01892 888888, send a WhatsApp or use the online quote form, and we will confirm the price before you travel.
- Three stations within reach: Ashurst for the Uckfield line, Penshurst at Chiddingstone Causeway, or Tunbridge Wells.
- On the Gatwick side of town, with the A264 running west from Langton Green towards the M23.
- Penshurst Place is a short drive north along the B2188, with drop-offs and timed collections for visitors.
- Fixed prices from outside town: Fordcombe journeys are quoted for your address before you travel.
Getting from Fordcombe to the trains, the town and the A264
There is no station in Fordcombe itself. The nearest are Ashurst, on the Uckfield line to London Bridge, and Penshurst at Chiddingstone Causeway, on the Redhill to Tonbridge line. For London Charing Cross many people still go to Tunbridge Wells or Tonbridge. The B2188 links the village to the A264 for Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead.
Ashurst station
Ashurst is the closest station for many Fordcombe homes. It sits on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted line, with Southern trains to London Bridge. We drop off there and can meet a booked return train.
Penshurst station at Chiddingstone Causeway
Penshurst station is about two miles north of Penshurst village, on the Redhill to Tonbridge line, and handy for heading west towards Redhill. Our Penshurst taxis page covers that side of the parish.
Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge for London
For Southeastern trains to London Charing Cross, most Fordcombe passengers use Tunbridge Wells station or Tonbridge. Booking a car both ways means no vehicle left in a station car park all day.
Penshurst Place
Penshurst Place, the manor house and gardens open to the public, is a short drive north along the B2188. We bring visitors from Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge stations and collect them again at an agreed time.
Tunbridge Wells Hospital, Pembury
Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury is the main hospital for the area. We take Fordcombe patients to appointments and visits, and can wait and bring you home on request. See hospital appointment taxis.
