About Southborough

The taxi firm on your doorstep in Southborough

Southborough runs north from Tunbridge Wells along the A26 London Road towards Tonbridge, and takes in High Brooms, where our office sits beside High Brooms station on North Farm Road. Southborough is our home patch, and it counts as Tunbridge Wells for our fares: from £7 in the daytime and from £10 on the night rate (11:30pm to 6am).

We pick up from every part of the town, from London Road and Southborough Common to the Southborough Hub, Holden Pond and the streets around High Brooms. The Common was once the centre of the town’s cricket-ball making, which carried on here until 1978; these days it is where many of our customers ask to be collected after a walk or a match.

  • On our doorstep. Our office is beside High Brooms station, so a car is rarely far from any Southborough address.
  • Three stations to choose from: High Brooms, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, with early pickups booked the night before.
  • Local fares, because Southborough counts as Tunbridge Wells: from £7 by day and £10 on the night rate.
  • Account travel for local firms and the business parks around North Farm, invoiced if you prefer.
Getting around Southborough

From the Common to the station

Southborough has good bus links along the A26 and its own station at High Brooms, but a lot of journeys still work better by car: the first trains, heavy luggage, hospital appointments and getting home late. That is where we come in.

High Brooms station

Our office is next to the station, so High Brooms pickups and drop-offs are a regular part of our day. Southeastern trains run from here towards London.

Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells

Southborough sits between the two, on the A26. We cover both town centres and both mainline stations.

Southborough Common and the Hub

Collections from the Common, the cricket ground and events at the Southborough Hub, which replaced the Royal Victoria Hall in 2021.

Hospital appointments

Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury and Maidstone Hospital, with wait-and-return on request.

School runs

Regular pre-booked school journeys, usually with the same driver each day. Parents normally supply the child seat, which stays in the car.

Work and business

Account travel for local firms, invoiced in advance, including the business parks around North Farm.
