Professional chauffeured taxi service across Barking and Dagenham — a borough with a genuine double advantage: close to London City Airport to the southwest, and a quick run to the Dartford Crossing and Kent via the A13 to the east. Add Barking's historic abbey ruins and the Ford Dagenham legacy, and it's a borough with real character behind the geography. No surge, no meter, no surcharges. DBS-checked drivers. TfL licensed operator, Licence 11588.
About Barking and Dagenham
Barking and Dagenham built modern Britain in a very literal sense — the Ford Dagenham plant was once one of the largest car factories in Europe, and the borough's interwar housing estates were some of the biggest of their kind. Barking itself has real history too: the ruins of Barking Abbey, once one of the most important religious houses in England, still stand near the town centre, alongside a busy street market and riverside walks along the Thames.
Geography gives this borough a genuine double advantage: it sits close enough to London City Airport for a straightforward run, and close enough to the Dartford Crossing via the A13 for a quick trip into Kent without touching central London. RushXO runs a dedicated Barking and Dagenham rota; our drivers know both routes well.
