Penge Taxi & Airport Transfers

Penge sits just below Crystal Palace Park, a compact, increasingly popular south-east London neighbourhood. It has two railway stations, a busy high street and the park's dinosaurs on its doorstep, and it is a straightforward starting point for Gatwick via Croydon and for London City through Catford.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Penge and the rest of south London. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel — airport transfers, station runs, cruise and ferry ports, business travel and days out — with professional drivers, flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.

Airport transfers from Penge

We run to and from every London airport from Penge around the clock. Distances and typical door-to-door times are shown below; your fixed fare is confirmed at booking and does not change if traffic is slow.

*Typical ranges for guidance only — actual journey time depends on the time of day, roadworks and weather. When you book we suggest a pickup time that gives you sensible margin for check-in. Meet-and-greet on airport pickups includes flight tracking, so if your flight is late your driver simply meets the actual landing time.

Local knowledge: getting around Penge

Penge High Street and the Croydon Road junction are the busy spots, but the area is small and easy to reach. Our drivers head for Gatwick via Anerley and South Norwood to the A23, or via Beckenham and the M25 when Croydon is heavy; Heathrow means the South Circular from Forest Hill, so we allow extra time in the morning. Penge East and Penge West stations are on different lines, so tell us which one you are arriving at.

Main roads

• A213 Croydon Road
• A234 Penge High Street
• A214 Beckenham Road
• Anerley Road

Rail and public transport

Penge East has Southeastern trains to Victoria; Penge West has London Overground and Southern services to London Bridge; Kent House and Anerley are also nearby. Trains are great for a quick trip into town, but for early flights, late arrivals, luggage, children or a group travelling together, a pre-booked fixed-price car from your door in Penge is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
