Your local taxi in Penshurst
Penshurst sits in the Sevenoaks district where the River Medway meets the River Eden, about 6 miles north-west of Tunbridge Wells and roughly 6 miles from Tonbridge. It is a small, old village, best known for Penshurst Place and the church of St John the Baptist beside it. We pick up from the High Street and the lanes around the church, from Smart’s Hill to the south, from homes along the B2176 towards Leigh and Bidborough, and from the B2188 out towards Fordcombe. Tell us the house name or nearest landmark when you book, as some lanes are narrow and not well lit.
Penshurst is outside the Tunbridge Wells fare area, so we quote every journey for your address before you travel and the price does not change once agreed. If both ends of the trip are outside Tunbridge Wells, for example Penshurst to Tonbridge station or to Sevenoaks, the quote also covers the miles our driver drives to reach the village and get back. Call 01892 888888, send us a WhatsApp or use the quote form for a price.

Getting around Penshurst when the station is two miles away
Penshurst station is not in the village: it stands at Chiddingstone Causeway, about two miles north, on the Redhill to Tonbridge line. Most people heading for London use Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells instead, so station runs, Penshurst Place visitors and airport trips make up much of our work here.
Penshurst station at Chiddingstone Causeway
The walk from the village to the station is along roads without proper footpaths, so a short taxi makes sense in the dark or the rain. Trains run to Tonbridge one way and Edenbridge and Redhill the other.
Tonbridge for London trains
Tonbridge has frequent trains to London and is the usual choice for commuters from Penshurst. We do early pickups for the first trains and can meet you off a late one if you book the time in advance.
Penshurst Place and its gardens
The fourteenth-century manor house, home to the Sidney family for over 460 years, draws visitors through the open season. Many visitors arrive by train at Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells, and we run that trip both ways.
Tunbridge Wells Hospital
For appointments at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Pembury or clinics in town, we can wait and bring you home if you ask when booking. See our hospital journeys page for how that works.
School runs to nearby towns
There is a primary school in the village, but older children travel further, to schools in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks. Where we can, the same driver does the run each day, and the child seat you supply stays in the car.
Weddings and group outings
Wedding guests and family groups often need moving between Penshurst, Tunbridge Wells and the stations. For larger groups we have 8-, 13- and 16-seat minibuses; quotes for the 13- and 16-seaters are done by email.
