London to Cambridge Taxi
Fixed-price private taxi from London to Cambridge — around 60 miles via the M11, typically 1h 15m–1h 50m door to door.

Colleges, the Biomedical Campus and the science parks door to door — plus a well-worn Heathrow connection for visiting academics and researchers. Saloon, Executive, MPV 6-seater and 8-seater, 24/7 — TfL licensed.
About the route
London to Cambridge, door to door
Cambridge is the short one: about 60 miles straight up the M11, 1h 15m to 1h 50m door to door, and comfortably our most-booked East Anglian route.
Three journeys account for most of it. College runs — matriculation, graduation, May Balls and the start and end of every term, with a car's worth of belongings that no train handles gracefully. Science and business travel — the Biomedical Campus, Granta Park, the Science Park and the Babraham cluster, all of which sit well outside the centre and turn a station arrival into another taxi. And airport connections: visiting researchers and delegates landing at Heathrow with a name-board pickup, which we run so often it has its own page.
From £125 for the whole car, fixed at booking. The station-to-station comparison flatters the train; the door-to-door one rarely does.

Why the car
Colleges, campuses & the last mile
- Straight to the porters' lodge. Cambridge's centre is a maze of restricted streets and bollards; your driver knows which colleges you can reach and where the practical set-down points are.
- Campus destinations. The Biomedical Campus, Granta Park and the Science Park are 20–40 minutes from the station by local taxi — going door to door removes that leg entirely.
- Graduation and ball season. Formal wear, families travelling together and very late finishes: the MPV and 8-seater handle all three at one fixed price.
- Heathrow connections from £150, with meet-and-greet, flight tracking and free waiting after landing.
FAQ
London to Cambridge frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from London to Cambridge?
A fixed-price saloon from central London to Cambridge is from £125 for the whole car — up to 4 passengers, not per person. Executive, MPV 6-seater and 8-seater options are quoted at booking. No meter, no surge, no luggage charges.
How long does the drive from London to Cambridge take?
Typically 1h 15m–1h 50m door to door via the M11, depending on your pickup point, the destination postcode and traffic. Overnight and early-morning departures sit at the quick end of that range.
Can you drop at a specific Cambridge college?
Yes — we go to the practical set-down point for your college rather than the nearest main road. The city centre has extensive restrictions and bollards, so knowing which approach works matters more here than almost anywhere else we drive.
Do you cover the Biomedical Campus and the science parks?
Yes — the Biomedical Campus from £125, the Science Park from £130 and Granta Park from £120, all door to door. These sites are a further taxi ride from the station, which is exactly the leg a fixed-price car removes.
Is a taxi cheaper than the train to Cambridge?
For one person booking rail well in advance, the train usually wins on price. For two or more — or anyone with luggage, an awkward departure time, a door-to-door need or a disrupted rail day — one fixed car fare shared across the party is often comparable or better, with no taxis needed at either end. We'll tell you honestly which suits your trip.
Can I work during the journey?
Yes — choose Executive (Mercedes E-Class / BMW 5 Series calibre) for a quiet cabin with WiFi and charging, and the drive becomes desk time instead of a station scramble.
Do you run this route at night or at short notice?
24/7, and same-day bookings are usually fine — though rail-strike days book out early. The fare is identical whatever the hour: that's the fixed-price promise.
Can you do a same-day return from London to Cambridge?
Yes — out in the morning, the driver waits or repositions, home in the evening, all quoted as one fixed price. It's a common booking for meetings, hospital appointments and family visits.
