London doesn’t have one central station — it has around a dozen termini, each pointing at a different part of the country. For a first-time visitor with luggage, knowing which is which (and where the car waits) removes most of the stress.

Where taxis meet you
The trust-maker for a pre-booked car is knowing exactly where the driver waits. Each of our station pages names the meeting point precisely — the Eurostar arrivals area at St Pancras, the four-faced clock at Waterloo, the main concourse boards elsewhere — and we confirm it in your booking. You look for a name board; the driver looks for you.
Reaching the airports
Most visitors’ next question is the airport. The quick reference: Paddington and Euston/King’s Cross/St Pancras all reach Heathrow easily; Victoria and St Pancras suit Gatwick; King’s Cross and St Pancras suit Luton; Liverpool Street suits Stansted. Every one has a fixed-fare route page — for example St Pancras to Heathrow from £47 or Liverpool Street to Stansted from £99.
Booking in your own language
If English isn’t your first language, you can arrange any of these transfers in eight languages — the detail confirmed in your own words before you land, so there’s no kerb-side translation at the end of a long journey.
